Reality is product of cultural and historical period

Reference no: EM13507868

The text asserts that "reality is a product of the cultural and historical period in which it exists." Examine this position either cross-culturally (comparing societies in two different countries) or historically (comparing one country, probably the U.S., in two different time periods). For example, you could discuss accepted "truth" about the Earth's position in the universe today compared to that of the 1600s.
