What is Social Constructionism : What is Social Constructionism Within constructionist thought, a social construction (social construct) is a concept or practice which may appear to be natural and obvious to those who accept it, but in reality is an invention or artifact of a particular culture or society.

Metanarrative : Metanarrative In critical theory, and particularly postmodernism, a metanarrative (sometimes master- or grand narrative) "is a global or totalizing cultural narrative schema which orders and explains knowledge and experience". The prefix meta means "beyond" and is here used to mean "about", and a narrative is a story. Therefore, a metanarrative is a story about a story, encompassing and explaining other 'little stories' within totalizing schemas.
Dominant Discourse : Dominant Discourse Dominant discourse is this collection of expectations we take for granted. It embodies socialization by the dominant or decision-making group. Dominant discourse gives us the prevailing "accepted" rules of everyday living as practiced by our decision-makers. Dominant discourse rarely includes the perspective of the Other, the non-power holding Other. -- Jeanne Curran
Language Games : Language Games Wittgenstein, in his early positivist work, saw sentences as pictures of the world. He later came to the view that language is, in fact, a series of games that are played out, each with its own rules.
He saw philosophical problems as coming not from the real world, but from language itself. Our concepts define our experience which we understand only through words.

Differend : Differend A term for a dispute resulting from the fact that one party cannot voice her complaints (or points) because the other insists on speaking within a different language game or genre of discourse (such as one person speaking within narration and the other within speculation). People who are caught in differends find themselves in difficult conversations. Such difficult conversations result from people using terms in different ways while presuming they are using terms in the same way. - Lois Shawver
Dialogic : Dialogic Dialogic encounter assumes an essential faith in human interaction. It is not a method, but rather an attitude or orientation toward communication. In dialogic communication each participant possesses genuine concern for one's partner instead of as a means to an end. This facilitative communication is opposed to coercing and exploiting, dishonest forms of interactions that are used to manipulate people in various degrees.
- T. Dean Thomlison
Pluralism : Pluralism The rhetoric of unified theories and priviledged levels of explanation, part of what Rorty calls 'foundationalism', has to be relinquished (Rorty,1979).
Pluralism is to not just to accept that 'different views are possible' but to accept that different views are simultaneously valid.
