Document Summary
Socialization: the process by which people learn their culture, including norms, values, and roles and become aware of themselves as they interact with others. Socialization as a concept has evolved and now is more focused on the end result: internalization. Internalization is the act of applying the learnt roles and behaviours from socialization to oneself (relates to freud, blah blah blah). Socialization is crucial for human potential to be unleashed. Un-socialized children can be seen in the (cid:272)ases of (cid:862)fe(cid:396)al (cid:272)hild(cid:396)e(cid:374)(cid:863) o(cid:396) a stud(cid:455) do(cid:374)e (cid:271)(cid:455) re(cid:374)e pitz (cid:894)(cid:1005)9(cid:1008)(cid:1009), (cid:1005)9(cid:1010)(cid:1006)(cid:895) where he compared nursing school babies and orphanage babies. Orphan babies had only 6 nurses per 45 babies, while mothers cared for their babies in the prison. Spitz found that because of that, and the fact that the children in the nursing home were exposed to society whereas the orphans had their cribs blocked with sheets, the orphans were less demanding.
