The race is not something that has been inherited by someone from the birth but it is the society who has made the concept of the race and has separated the individual from the other people depending on this race (Company, 2018). Therefore, a race is totally a social construction made by people and not natural. Taking the example of the United States where the population is so diverse we often come across the term race. Tough people in this nation live peacefully by accepting each other’s differences but this difference is the main things which have come up due to the social construction of the society and the people growing in that particular structure.
