One of the major assertions of sociology is that humans are fundamentally social creatures. Explain what this means using evidence from Chapters 1-4 of your textbook and class material as appropriate. Your essay should explore the ways in which our identities, beliefs, values, and interactions are socially constructed based on the cultures in which we live. You should make explicit and accurate reference to each of these sociological concepts [those in bold in the previous sentence]. please let me know if you need more info
