Psychology knows that race is a social construct, a way in which human society seeks to separate and often objectify its members. While race is a product of humanity, the relationship is twofold, as psychology also recognizes that individuals are the product of their respective environments, and as such, the presence of race impacts individuals. Therefore, it can be said that the relationship between race and humanity is cyclical, since neither can survive without the other and each is a product of one and the other.
