Document Summary
Is about the lifelong process of how we learn our culture (roles, norms; expectations, values) Start from when we born and last until we die but frequencies are small in 3rd,4th,5th,6th decades of life, larger during first two decades. Become aware of ourselves by interact with others. We define ourselves, develop the sense of selves. Unleash one"s potential that"s embedded in our genes; through interaction with others, we become fully human. I want/like/interested in this and others are not etc. ; not already imprinted in our biology, it"s something that needs to be learn, they are biologically might be there but it needs to be explored, unleashed. If we are carbon copy each other, and have same thought and everything, we can"t distinguish from each other. How we understand of self is different with how others understand ( different aspects) Difference are relevant; difference from siblings, who grew up in same historical timeline or geographical area of the world.
