W9.1 April 29 (Mon) -- Kim Eunseon
1.Summary
This Wikipedia article addresses the need for socialization and the importance of human interaction.
Socialization is generally divided into two parts. Primary socialization occurs during childhood and adolescence. Secondary socialization refers to socialization that occurs when a person interacts with a new group that requires additional socialization. In primary socialization, an individual's core identity is formed, and through secondary socialization, specific changes occur in response to the acquisition of context.
To explain the importance of socialization, we can look at several cases in which socialization did not occur due to neglect or abuse. A representative example would be the neglect of Genie and Oksana. They can also be said to have been placed in the wild. Children in the wild lack the basic social skills they learn during socialization. They don't know how to have a conversation or public etiquette.
Socialization is essential and culturally very relative. This means that even though the process and results of socialization are different and different from culture to culture, it is easy to be resocialized according to changing situations.
2. Interesting points
It is said that institutions that deal with resocialization include prisons and mental hospitals. The goal of these institutions is said to be to facilitate a complete break with the past life in order to resocialize the individual into a new life. It involved the suppression of previous individuality, cultural ties, and previous behavioral patterns, and I wondered if it would be easy. Even in Korea's prisons, the recidivism rate among criminals is quite high. This means that resocialization of people with a high mental age is difficult. It is difficult to break away from one's past life, and I became curious about what method would be needed to solve this problem.
3. discussion
If the experiment was designed to have the same background and human relationships, would the same socialization occur? Does genetics have no effect on socialization?
