Document Summary

Social experience: the key to our humanity: socialization: the lifelong social experience by which individuals develop their human potential and learn culture, personality: a person"s fairly consistent patterns of thinking, feeling, and acting. Nature and nurture: the biological sciences: the role of nature; europeans linked cultural diffs to biology, the social sciences: the role of nurture; behaviourism holds that behaviour is not instinctive but learned. Understanding socialization: six researchers have made contributions to our understanding of human development: Freud, piaget, kohlberg, carol gilligan, herbert mead, erikson. Sigmund freud"s elements of personality: basic human needs: eros and thanatos as opposing forces, composed of id, ego and superego, personality development. Critical review o gender bias, internalization of social norms, childhood experiences have lasting affect. Critical review: differed from freud, viewing the mind as active and creative, cognitive stages are the result of biological maturation and social experience.
