Yes, partially. It's impossible to escape.
There's an entire industry that brainwashed Americans into spending three months salary on a rock that isn't even rare to declare their love for someone. Commercial interests have hijacked our most intimate relationships because of a devious ad campaign. Of course our reality is, in part, socially constructed.
Originally posted by StyleTimeI'd go further ST, our religions and morals shape our reality. I am an atheist, however, I respect peoples right to have any belief they wish. My reality has no God, so immediately the values many take as divine become subjective choices etc.

When commercial interests muddy up our most intimate relationships, you're definitely dealing with social constructs. Pretty devious ones, in fact.
