Document Summary

Socialization = the process by which people acquire a social identity and learn about the groups to which they belong and do not belong: develop their human capacities and learn to negotiate the social and physical environment. In-group= a group to which a person belongs to, identifies, admires, and or feels loyalty. Out-group= any group to which a person does not belong. Internalization = the process in which people take as their own and accept as binding the norms, values, beliefs and language that their socializers are attempting to pass on. Nurture = the social experience that make up every individuals life. Social interaction as well as social contact is essential in human development. Collective memory = the experiences shared and recalled by significant numbers of people; such memories are revived, preserved, shared, passed on and recast in many forms like holidays, rituals and stories: example; memories of war.
