Sociologists
believe that
childhood
only exists because of the way
society
has created it.
There is no factual age at which
childhood
stops.
We can prove that
childhood
is a
social
construct by looking at 3 categories:
Differences in childhood between
societies
.
Differences in childhood within a
society.
Differences in childhood over
time.
