1. Summary
Socialization is a sociological concept made up of various elements, and there is consensus about its importance. The goals of socialization include impulse control, development of conscience, role preparation and performance, and formation of meaning. This is done differently depending on the culture, and evaluation is not appropriate when comparing across cultures. Socialization is important in human development, but not all behavior is learned. Socialization primarily occurs during childhood and adolescence, and secondary socialization that occurs when a person belongs to a new group is also important. This includes specific elements such as regulation of biological impulses, development of values and self-image, and norms and behaviors related to work roles. Additionally, the context of socialization varies between early years and adulthood, and the form and emotional elements of relationships change accordingly.
2. Interesting things
To what extent human behavior is determined biologically and learned is still an open question in the study of human behavior, but recent reviews of biology, genetics, neuroscience, and psychology literature suggest that culture can influence biology and vice versa. I was impressed with this part. It seemed that the word "socialization" was only related to sociological reasons, but it was amazing that it was also related to genetic reasons that humans could not be involved in in the first place.
3. Question
What would happen if only primary socialization occurred without secondary socialization? Or what are the advantages?
If only primary socialization is achieved, the individual's social knowledge and skills may not be sufficient to respond to various social situations because individuals initially only experience social interactions in close environments such as family, friends, and school. The ability to respond to social situations may be reduced and there may be limitations in forming relationships with various people.
