Oxana lived among dogs and therefore acquired dog like manner. Kids who didn"t acquire human speech and culture lacked social interaction. Sociology explores the role of nurture in terms of development of the self. Main idea: development of self-identity is a difficult process and it"s only becoming more so. Socialization: the process by which people learn their culture. Becoming aware of themselves and their self through their interaction with people. Role: expected behavior from a person acquiring a specific position in society. Study comparing the abilities of children that were raised in prison with their mothers and children raised in an orphanage with 6 nurses raising them. Children in orphanage had way less contact.
