The languages of our culture (the verbal and visual signs we use to represent the world to ourselves) literally "construct" what we think of as "real" in our everyday existence. In this sense, reality is a "text" or "composite" of texts, and these texts (rather than the God-created reality) are the only reality we can know. Our sense of self –who we are, how we think of ourselves, as well as how we see and interpret the world and give ourselves meaning in it–, is subjectively constructed through language.
In our times, the language use in mass media of communication is constructing our reality and conception of the world. Media; internet, magazines, newspapers, television and the government; are controlling the way how the "reality" is describe, they modify or select the contents trying to influence us with their political, or social opinions and orientation.Today, when we have direct access through Internet to the press, is our responsibility to check a huge group of this "reality" (build by language) and select or discriminate which is the proper, or which is the REAL "reality"
