Document Summary

Social isolation and the crystallization of self identity. The ability to learn human culture is only a potential. It is realized through socialization, the process by which people learn their culture.

A role is the behaviour expected of a person occupying a particular position in society. normal children do. Socialization is key to the development of self-identity. When children are left isolated they do not develop the same way that. Social interaction enables us to develop our sense of self-a set of ideas and attitudes about who we are as independent beings.
