{"quotes":[{"text":"And so we see the paradox that evolution has handed us. If man is the only animal whose consciousness of self gives him an unusual dignity in the animal kingdom, he also pays a tragic price for it. The fact that the child has to identify -first- means that his very first identity is a social product. His habitation of his own body is built from the outside in; not from the inside out. He doesn't unfold into the world, the world unfolds into him. As the child responds to the vocal symbols learned from his object, he often gives the pathetic impression of being a true social puppet, jerked by alien symbols and sounds. What sensitive parent does not have his satisfaction tinged with sadness as the child repeats with such vital earnestness the little symbols that are taught him?","author":"Ernest Becker","tags":["identity","socialization","symbolic-prisons"],"id":20148,"author_id":"Ernest+Becker"},{"text":"We might miss the days of being unreachable.","author":"Melanie Gideon","tags":["inspirational-attitude","internet","socialization"],"id":101442,"author_id":"Melanie+Gideon"},{"text":"Humor is a social lubricant that helps us get over some of the bad spots.","author":"Steve Allen","tags":["communication","humor","laughter","socialization"],"id":200204,"author_id":"Steve+Allen"},{"text":"If you feel rejected by others, do not deprive yourself. There will always be someone who will accept of who you are and your hopes would be fulfilled if you are persistent with yourself.","author":"Saaif Alam","tags":["education","morality","socialization"],"id":204736,"author_id":"Saaif+Alam"},{"text":"Humans pursuing deep, complete connections respond to quite different incentives from those that influence self-interested utility maximizers. Rewards, monitoring, and punishments are less likely to be effective than engagement, communication, norms, socialization, identity, and common purpose. They share not out of a calculation of reciprocity but from a psychological pleasure in sharing. Those seeking connections make decisions from their hearts as well as their heads, influenced by emotion, fairness, empathy, and intuition. Their behavior, thoughts, feelings, and even personal attributes are highly socially contingent. The range of humanity includes individuals who display every possible combination of selfishness and sociability.","author":"Anne-Marie Slaughter","tags":["common-purpose","communication","emotion","empathy","engagement","fairness","identity","intuition","norms","socialization"],"id":205121,"author_id":"Anne-Marie+Slaughter"},{"text":"Which is worse?

However, a person who has a high quotient intelligence can comprehend some critical concepts, which is unlikely for a human being with average intelligence. The method for this person to increase his/her level of intelligence is that they should be encouraged to examine or study the critical issues and difficult concepts that revolve in our current environment.","author":"Saaif Alam","tags":["education","intelligence","socialization"],"id":295886,"author_id":"Saaif+Alam"},{"text":"As children become increasingly less connected to adults, they rely more and more on each other; the whole natural order of things change. In the natural order of all mammalian cultures, animals or humans, the young stay under the wings of adults until they themselves reach adulthood. Immature creatures were never meant to bring one another to maturity. They were never meant to look to one another for primary nurturing, modelling, cue giving or mentoring. They are not equipped to give one another a sense of direction or values. As a result of today`s shift to this peer orientation, we are seeing the increasing immaturity, alienation, violence and precocious sexualization of North American Youth. The disruption of family life, rapid economic and social changes to human culture and relationships, and the erosion of stable communities are at the core of this shift.","author":"Gabor Maté","tags":["addiction","attachment","child-development","homeschooling","parenting","socialization"],"id":321268,"author_id":"Gabor+Mat%C3%A9"},{"text":"In a formal socialization, no one individual can stand without the other to rely on, regardless of the situation.","author":"TOOTS888","tags":["inspirational","reality","realization","socialization","society","toots888"],"id":325587,"author_id":"TOOTS888"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":10,"total":18,"pages":2,"next":"?page=2\u0026page_size=10"}}
