Document Summary

Socialization: lifelong social experience by which people develop their human potential and learn culture. Personality: a person"s fairly consistent patterns of acting, thinking and feeling. Cases of isolated children: anna, isabelle and genie. Basic human needs: humans have two basic needs or drives: the life instinct (eros), which is the need for sexual and emotional bonding, and the death instinct (thanatos), which is aggression. These opposing forces work at an unconscious level and create deep inner tension. Freud"s model of personality: there are three parts: the id represents the human"s basic drives, which are unconscious and demand immediate satisfaction. Id is rooted in biology, making newborn babies needy, but society suppresses it, which is why one of the first words a child learns is no . The second part is ego, which is a person"s conscious efforts to balance innate pleasure-seeking drives with the demands of society.
