Social Construction of Reality

In the movie their reality in the neighbrohood is socially constucted of how people see them and what other think. At this time blacks were seen as bad people and that is why they think blacks are bad. Some unwritten rules are that you should not be a rat and tell on other people it is seen as a bad thing. The people in the neighbrohood don't mess with the mob becasue other wise they know they will pay for it. The people in the niebrohood treat anyone who is has anything to do with Sonny very well becasue they know he has their back. I do see the racist attitudes as a social construction becasue they seperate themselves by neighbrhood by race and others don't really get to interact with other racises becasue it is looked down at. They also swear at the blacks and call them names when they have not done anything.
