Construction of reality

At the beginning of the unit was about the words sense ambiguity and in the linguistic side we said that the way we describe reality is reality. The only reality we know is the reality is the one culturally described and constructed and what we take for certain is actually imposed by society. It is for this that it is important to construct your own reality.

Applying this previous statement to the graphic novel Ghost World we can see expressed a different construction of reality, a construction based on the senses of these two teenage girls fed up with the superficiality of society and their attempts to depart from it. Their look of society is a bit cynical, ironic, and sarcastic and a lonely sense of independence. Enid all over the history tries to avoid being label which make her change her imagine again and again which in a way represents the importance of the images in our society and the typical label of a person according to their features that were all influenced by the mass media.

This continuous struggle to be different, not to fall in the game of what society labels you to be, think or behave is what can actually make a difference. However, the intensity of this feeling make Enid to also produce a superficial and quite judgemental personality just by trying to be different (hipster-like?) and not be labeled, she labels everything and everyone. 

Therefore, I can avoid but wonder until what point are we being influenced by the media and society?  Do we judge as the media and society does?
