Document Summary
Sosa 1003 lecture 6 september 19, 2018 chapter 3 socialization. Socialization is the process by which people learn their culture: they do so by (1) entering into and disengaging from a succession of roles and (2) becoming aware of themselves as they interact with other. Role is a set of behaviours expected of a person occupying a particular position in society. When a baby was born, it has no sense of self. Her son might engage in the role of a son or disengage one day. Convincing evidence of the importance of socialization in unleashing human potential comes from a study conducted by rene spitz. Spitz compared children who were being raised in an orphanage with children who were being raised in a nursing home attached to a women"s prison. Both institutions were hygienic and provided good food and medical care.
