The Social Construction of Reality in School and in "Lost"

I thought today's lesson was very interesting. It made me think how everything we do was based off of one person saying it was socially expected. For instance, everything about school was created by the people. We have a bell that dictates how long we are in each class for. Our day is revolved all around time. At 1:47, sixth period ends on a second day of the week schedule. RANDOM. Also, we were trained from the start to go into our classes and wait for the teacher to stand in front of us and talk. Now I understand why Mr. Sal began our class with the awkward silence. The lesson about F-227 also got me thinking about the TV show "Lost." They were stranded on this island and knew that rescue would never happen. So, they created rules and organization. They had the hunter and the leader. In addition, everyone's backgrounds were deleted. It no longer mattered that Kate was a felon, Sawyer was a con-man, Charlie was a drug addict, or Locke was a paraplegic. They created their own destinies now that they were detached from the real world. However, when six of them were found, they too decided to keep their experiences on the island a secret (just like the survivors of F-227). All the strange and mysterious events were too out of the ordinary for the norm to handle. Yet, the people on the island grew accustomed to the oddness of the island. The Social Construction of Reality is different all over the world because of our traditions, morals, and culture.
