The social construction of difference involves a society that targets individuals based on race, sex, mental health or anything that can be discriminated against. Treating people like outcasts, because of conditions that cannot be changed without the society accepting and understanding those individuals. Based on the UN day of Social Justice (February 20). The current events hopes to bring an understanding of issues related to discrimination, prejudice and conflict in hopes that we can work together to understand and resolve the issues we face.
