Understanding Race and Its Complexity

Perception of the World

• The view of the horizon illustrates the idea that what seems simple can actually be complex.

• Initially perceived as "flat," it is revealed to have a curvature, symbolizing the layered complexity of certain societal constructs, such as race.

Race: A Social Construct

• Race is described as not based on biology, challenging traditional notions that biology determines racial categories.

• Instead, race is characterized as an idea or construct created by society, one that attributes specific characteristics to biological differences, even though these differences are minimal.

• Race should be understood as a cultural and social concept, influenced by historical, political, and economic contexts.
