This one is among the phrases that I like and I should use it more often. Or least when I can: 'a recent construct'. For e.g.:
It's traditional for children's stories to be screwy. Think of what life was like hundreds of years ago. Childhood as this specific phase where people are coddled and treated like special snowflakes is quite a recent construct.
