Q3 Last post for the semester

The social constructionist model of communication is a concept that I feel needs further discussion. I had a hard time grasping this concept. The other posts gave me a better perspective of this concept but I still would refer to this concept as somewhat in the twilight zone. It is hard for me to comprehend that “most of what we know and believe about the world comes to us through communication rather than through direct experience” (Trenholm, 2008, p. 30). I guess I have to be more mindful with my perspective of this concept and realize that it does not exclude direct experience, hence the word most.
