Answer 1

The creation of race socially entails an understanding of race as being socially constructed. It is assumed that people make their own understanding of the world and encounters with others or a variety of products they create or created by others. Race social construction also assumes that people create racism jointly. Race is not of a biological understanding, that is, there are no genes that are unique and common to all the blacks or all the whites. Otherwise classifications in terms of race would be same for each and every person across all boundaries. The social construction of race also envelopes the idea of various racial categories being assigned to people based on different opinions and social experiences. Social construction of race also puts into consideration the physical features of different people as well as the historical, cultural and economic factors.
