Constitutively social(as used to describe human nature and relationships): Fundamentally dependent on other people and society—it's built into what you are, not just something added on top. You can't be fully yourself without social connection.
Non-exercise impossible to distinguish from incapacity(as used to show how society can blur the line between unwillingness and inability): When social pressure or circumstances make it so you can't tell the difference between someone choosing not to do something and someone not being able to do it at all.
Social conditions(as used to explain external factors that shape what people are able to do): The circumstances created by how society is organized—things like laws, norms, opportunities, or barriers that affect what people can do.
The distinction collapses(as the main claim about physical objects versus abstract structures): The clear difference or boundary between two things breaks down or disappears—meaning they might not be as different as we thought.
