 1.SUMMARY

Socialization is a life process, but it is generally divided into two parts. Primary socialization occurs early in life during childhood and adolescence. Secondary socialization refers to socialization that occurs during childhood and throughout life when a person encounters new groups that require additional socialization. Although some scholars argue that only one of these occurs, most social scientists tend to combine the two, arguing that an individual's basic or core identity develops during primary socialization and that later, more specific changes occur through secondary socialization. there is. - Respond to differently structured social situations by acquiring new group memberships and roles. The need for socialization in later life may stem from the increasing complexity of society with an increasing variety of roles and responsibilities.Mortimer and Simmons describe three specific ways in which the two parts of socialization differ. Content - Childhood socialization is thought to be related to the control of biological impulses. Socialization during adolescence is associated with the development of important values and self-image. Socialization in adulthood includes norms and behaviors associated with work roles as well as more explicit and specific norms and behaviors, such as superficial personality traits.Context - Initially, the socializer (the person being socialized) more clearly assumes the learner's status within the context of the initial environment (e.g. orientation family, orphanage, period of homelessness, or other early social environment). groups early in a child's life), school (or other educational context), or peer groups. Additionally, early relationships are more likely to be emotionally charged. In other words, it's very emotional. When a person becomes an adult, the person being socialized sometimes assumes the role of a student, but much socialization occurs after the person being socialized fully assumes the adult role. Additionally, the situational context (e.g. work environment) makes it more likely that more formal relationships are formed, which moderates the emotional component.Responsiveness - Children and adolescents are more likely to comply than adults. Additionally, most adult socialization is self-initiated and voluntary. Adults can leave or terminate the process at any time if they have the appropriate resources (symbolic, financial, social).Of course, socialization is a social process. It involves interactions between people. As noted in the distinction between primary and secondary, socialization can occur in a variety of situations and as a result of contact with numerous groups. Some of the more important contributors to the socialization process are parents, guardians, friends, school, siblings or other family members, social clubs (e.g. religious or sports teams), life partners (romantic or platonic), and peers. Each of these groups contains a culture that socializers must learn and apply to some degree to fit into the group.

2.Interesting, impressive point

One of the most common methods used to illustrate the importance of socialization is through the use of examples of the small number of unfortunate children who, through neglect, misfortune, or intentional abuse, were not socialized by adults while growing up. Such children are called "feral" or wild. Some feral children have been taken into captivity by people (usually their parents). In some cases, this child abandonment occurred because of parents' rejection of the child's severe intellectual or physical disabilities. Feral children may have experienced severe child abuse or trauma before being abandoned or running away from home. Others are claimed to have been raised by animals. Some are said to have lived on their own in the wild. When fully raised by non-human animals, feral children display behavior (within their physical limitations) that is almost completely similar to that of certain protected animals, such as fear or indifference toward humans.Wild children typically lack basic social skills that are learned during socialization. For example, they may fail to learn how to use the toilet, have difficulty learning to walk upright, and show no interest in human activity around them. They often appear mentally handicapped and have almost insurmountable difficulties learning human language. The decline in language learning ability due to prolonged isolation is often due to the existence of a critical period for language learning, and is accepted as evidence supporting the critical period hypothesis, and examples of such children are often used for the following purposes: It raises questions about potential biological and genetic determinants of human behavior and development. It is very difficult to socialize an isolated child at a very young age into a relatively normal member of society, and these individuals often require careful care throughout their lives.
