Today in
sociology we discussed multiple different topics including Socialization-Human Development, Super-ego, and Peer group. Socialization
human development is a lifelong social experience by which individuals develop
human potential and learn patterns of their culture. Socialization prepares
people to participate in a social group by teaching them its norms and
expectations. Socialization has three goals within it which include; The
teaching of impulse control and developing a conscious, preparing individuals
to perform specific social roles, and using shared sources of meaning and
value. Superego is part of Sigmund Freuds psychoanalytic theory of psychology. The
superego is the part of the mind that acts as the critical conscience, it
reflects social standards learned through life. Psychoanalysis is a
psychological theory developed by Sigmund Freud that is set to treat mental
disorders by studying the interaction between conscious and unconscious
elements in a person. This also works to bring repressed thoughts into mind,
and uses techniques like interpretation of the dreams, and free association.
Free association is when a client is sitting there talking to Freud and talking
about every single little thing that comes to their mind. Freud tended to only
study people who were sick, not healthy people. A peer group is a group of
people whose members have interests, social position, and age in common.
One thing I can do to benefit myself and society is
realizing that some people are not open to talking about how they are feeling,
and honestly some people don’t even know when something is bothering them. So,
if someone is having a bad day I and being rude I should take into
consideration that they might have a lot going on. This will benefit me because
it will cause me to get less worked up over people, and this will benefit
society because I won’t be fighting anyone.
One thing I can do to negatively impact myself and
society is by not taking into consideration that some people do not have a good
home life or a good life in general. Some people may be living meal to meal and
check to check so if I do not take these things into consideration this will
make me feel bad because I am not donating to people who need it and im dealing
with other crabby people. This will impact society because if no one Is willing
to help the less fortunate then who will ever help them?
One thing society can to positively impact me is by
providing me with more opportunities to help people in need. When I am helping people,
it makes me feel really good and gives me a warm fuzzy feeling inside.
One thing society can do to negatively impact me is by
not providing opportunities for the less fortunate to be helped by the
community.
A solution is to provide schools with more posters, send
out emails and even put ads of websites for help cooking food, or even
fundraising for the people in need.
