Sažetak
Communication reveals the way of how reality is discovered, taken for granted, or changed by individuals and groups in positions of power. That means that reality is a social construction which is reflected through language. It is related to the threat of the fundamental questions of theory of construction, evaluation, the criteria of meaning, and the structure of explanation. We do not react to events directly, we always react to interpretations or definitions of the situation, relevant and meaningful to our lives. Events are as real, as we define them to be real. Social consensus plays the most important role in defining what is appropriate and desirable in particular society. A broader human, as well as scientific communication can lead us to unsupervised access to good information and useful knowledge about how society works, and what a real reality should be.
