Chap 3

Chap 3 (Socialization: from infancy to old age)
This chapter tell us that socialization is when the older teach the young ones about experiences in life.
We also form our own special personalities when young and develop it though out our lives.
We humans develop our personalities by socializing with other people, that socialization will set the way we talk, think, feel, etc. The need to create a social personality is very important for survival in the human specie.
A century ago people thought that humans were born with instincts that determined their personality and behavior. That was later proved to be a big mistake.
Some key points for understanding socialization are:
Sigmund Freud's Elements of Personality based on his theory of psychoanalysis.
Model of personality: like the basic needs that every individual experince as a new born. The ego, the personality when we develop  awareness and have to face the fact that we cannot have everything we want.
The mass media also plays a big role in an individual personality. also politics.
