Document Summary
Process by which people learn their culture: by entering into and disengaging from a succession of roles, by becoming aware of themselves as they interact with others. Primary socialization; is the socialization that occurs during childhood. Secondary socialization; is the socialization that occurs later in life. Role; behaviour expected of a person occupying a particular position in society. Social interaction enables infants to begin developing their sense of self. Self: a set of ideas and attributes about who one is as an independent being. Proposed the first social scientific interpretation of the process by which the self emerges. As a child, we develop a sense of independence and self when our demands aren"t met right away (ex; letting the baby cry instead of immediately helping) Rather than a self that emerges naturally, freud argued that it was due to social interaction. When we interact with others, they interact back with us.
