Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Idealism asserts that cultural components are socially constructed, which means that these are ideas determined and shaped by social interactions among individuals and groups within a society. Therefore, the components of needs and resources are also socially constructed. The government, human instinct, or individual choices do not necessarily shape or determine cultural components according to idealism.
