justify&semi;">Have you ever wondered how did we obtain the ability to communicate with other people and how did we learn to differentiate between good or bad &&num;8212&semi;- ethical or unethical &&num;8212&semi;-moral or immoral &&num;8212&semi; virtuous or vicious conducts&quest; Or how do we acquire the skills to participate in other social activities&quest; In sociology the concept of learning social knowledge during the course of life is called socialization&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">Socialization is a process through which we learn our respective culture as well as&comma; it is the process through which social knowledge is transmitted from one generation to another&period; We obtain knowledge of our native language&comma; social norms&comma; values and beliefs via social interaction&period; Social interaction refer to social encounters among two or more than two individuals&period; For instance&comma; new born baby initially socialize within institution of family until school going age where he learns basic survival skills such as&comma; how to walk&comma; talk&comma; feed himself and use bathroom via interacting with his family members &lpar;parents and sibling&rpar;&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">However&comma; there is difference between socialization and socializing&period; In order to comprehend the concept of socialization one must understand difference between socializing and socialization&period; Socializing refers to social interaction &lpar;social encounters with friends&comma; teachers&comma; colleagues&comma; siblings&comma; parents etc…&rpar; it is the part of socialization process&period; Whereas&comma; socialization refers to the lifelong process of learning social skills&comma; it initiate since birth and continues until death&period; We learn new thing in different stages of our lives via socializing with different people within distinct social groups&period; As we grow older and enter in to the new stage of lives our identities &lpar;social status&rpar; change within society such as&comma; parent&comma; lawyer&comma; doctor&comma; employee or employer etc… due to which we learn new rules in order&comma; to perform our roles associated with our new status&period; It enable us to play our social roles associated with our social identities within distinct social groups for instance&comma; usually until the age of 3 children socialize within institution of family where&comma; their status might be of brother or sister &&num;8212&semi; son or daughter however&comma; when they start attending school they obtain new statuses such as&comma; student&comma; friend and classmate&period; Norms at school differ from family rules as a son or daughter within family children don’t raise their hand to ask question from their parents or siblings whereas&comma; as a students they have to raise their hand in classroom to ask question from teachers&period; In order to function within school children have to learn and understand school code of conduct&period; These rules of conduct are supposed to teach life skills to children and prepare them future to socialize in different social groups&period; Children learn knowledge of books&comma; punctuality and discipline at school which help them to achieve anticipated career goal in future&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">Moreover&comma; if we don’t socialize with people within distinct social groups&comma; we would not be able to learn and understand social norms and without obtaining knowledge of social norms we could not function or participate within a society&period; In 2005 children and home department investigator found a seven year old girl in a dark small room of an old house in plant city&comma; Florida&period; Investigator reported that when he found her she was not wearing any cloths except a swollen dirty diaper her hairs were filled with lice &&num;8212&semi; her skin was filled with rashes and insect bites&period; Moreover&comma; the room in which she was found was covered in feces and insects&period; However&comma; she was immediately sent to the hospital for medical exam&period; After examination doctor found out that&comma; she is not able to walk&comma; talk and understand any language even though she did not had any genetic abnormality or disease&period; Children and home department concluded that&comma; due to the negligence of her parents she have not learned basic social skills&period; She did not had any kind of interaction from her parents such as&comma; holding&comma; hugging&comma; demonstration of basic skills etc… therefore she did not obtain the ability to walk&comma; talk&comma; use bathroom and chew solid food&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">The famous debate of nature and nurture has been going on since classic Greek period&period; Plato believed that&comma; formation of man personality depend on biological characteristics or genetics&period; Whereas&comma; according to Aristotle&comma; man personality is the product of social environment&period; However&comma; in sociology we focus on the nurture part&period; Lee argued that&comma; our personality is the product of habit formation&period; Habits refer to the repeated actions or conducts of individuals&period; The process of socialization also aid in development of people personalities in a given society&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>Written by&semi; Khushdil Khan Kasi<&sol;p>&NewLine;<&excl;--CusAds0-->&NewLine;<div style&equals;"font-size&colon;
