The article discusses the concept of socialization, historical cases, and different theories explaining socialization. Through the analysis of cases involving feral children and individuals experiencing extreme social isolation, it elucidates the importance of socialization in individual development.

    Yes.The goals and outcomes of socialization may differ across cultures and social backgrounds. While socialization aims to transmit cultural values, norms, and behaviors to individuals, the specific content and emphasis may vary. For example, socialization in cultures with strong religious traditions may prioritize moral and spiritual development, whereas socialization in secular societies may focus more on secular values and skills for success in a competitive world.

    Yes, the influence of socialization varies across different cultures and social backgrounds. Socialization is a process through which individuals learn and internalize the values, norms, behavior patterns, and social roles of society. Different cultures and social backgrounds shape individuals' experiences and outcomes of socialization. For example, factors such as family, education, religion, and media play different roles in various cultures and societies, influencing individuals' socialization processes. Consequently, some societies may emphasize collectivism and family values, while others may prioritize individualism and personal achievement.

1. Summary Scientific method is a method of acquiring knowledge, a systematic mode of thinking and a means of research, which is used to solve problems, explore laws and test theories. The key processes include observing phenomena, constructing hypotheses, planning experiments, collecting data, analyzing results, and summarizing conclusions. The scientific method focuses on proof and repeatability, using experiments and observations to test hypotheses during research, and adjusting or confirming theories based on data. 2.

  summarize The scientific method is not a single recipe. It requires intelligence, creativity and imagination. In this sense it is not a blind standard or procedure, but more a way of thinking that encourages us to remain open and critical, constantly challenging and validating existing theories.

In this sense it is not a blind standard or procedure, but more a way of thinking that encourages us to remain open and critical, constantly challenging and validating existing theories. About the points I learned 1. The scientific method is based on careful observation and rigorous skepticism. This means that scientists should not readily accept any ideas or assumptions, but should always question and think critically about observational data. 2.Scientific inquiry is not merely the pursuit of truth, but the process of shedding inhibited skepticism and establishing reliable beliefs.

 Summary: Social stratification is a multidimensional concept encompassing the impact of factors such as wealth, income, race, education, and occupation on individuals' social status. In modern Western societies, social stratification is typically divided into upper class, middle class, and lower class, with each class further subdivided into smaller categories. Social stratification is not only about quantitative inequalities but also involves beliefs and attitudes toward social status. Within complex social structures, there exist various stratification phenomena, with the most privileged individuals and families enjoying disproportionate access to income, power, and other social resources. Social mobility refers to the movement of individuals, social groups, or populations between or within layers of the stratification system. Open stratification systems allow for mobility between individuals, whereas closed systems have minimal mobility, with social status often remaining uncha
