What does Berger (1963) describe as a metaphor for social reality?
a fairground ride
a circus
a puppet theatre
a ballet
a puppet theatre
Peter Berger argued that we construct our own ‘social reality’ through our everyday lives, but that we often fail to recognise this. His metaphor of the puppet theatre suggests that we act out social roles as if we are controlled by forces beyond our control (the puppeteer’s invisible strings). However, if we were to think critically and sociologically (looking up at the strings), we would realise that we have the power and the freedom to act differently. 6-7
