Socialization Quotes

Socialism was not the socialization of losses and the privatization of profits. (Jacques Delors)
[I believe in] the throne...parliamentary institutions...private enterprise and individual opinion against the socialization of the state...equity in the distribution of public burdens and strict maintenance of public faith with the creditors of the state [and] a fresh guarantee of peace by an alliance with France and...Belgium for the defence of our common interests against unprovoked attack. View quote
Austen Chamberlain
The process begins with the individual woman's acceptance that American women, without exception, are socialized to be racist, classist and sexist, in varying degrees, and that labeling ourselves feminists does not change the fact that we must consciously work to rid ourselves of the legacy of negative socialization. View quote
Bell hooks
People have many myths about anger that cause them to categorize the issue in a certain way. For instance, some people consider anger to be biological or hereditary, but this myth does not have any solid foundation. Although some people are more prone to anger due to their psychophysical make-up or emersion in the modes of passion and ignorance, their socialization or quality of association will have a greater impact on their reactions. Although we do bring forth other infl uences into a situation such as our karma, which affects the ways in which we respond to specifi c situations, it is a myth that anger is biological and a permanent, unchangeable aspect of the body.

Bhakti Tirtha Swami
Women are socially disadvantaged in controlling sexual access to their bodies through socialization to customs that define a woman's body as for sexual use by men. Sexual access is regularly forced or pressured or routinized beyond denial. View quote
Catharine MacKinnon
Capitalism in its imperialist stage arrives at the threshold of the most complete socialization of production. In spite of themselves the capitalists are dragged, as it were, into the new social order, which marks the transition from complete free competition to complete socialization. Production becomes social, but appropriation remains private. The social means of production remain the private property of a few. The framework of formally recognized free competition remains, but the yoke of a few monopolists on the rest of the population becomes a hundred times heavier, more burdensome and intolerable.

Margaret Mead
There has to be innate circuitry that does the learning, that creates the culture, that acquires the culture, and that responds to socialization. View quote
Steven Pinker
Personality and socialization aren't the same thing. View quote
Steven Pinker
Some still ask of us: what do you want? We answer with three words that summon up our entire program. Here they are...Italy, Republic, Socialization... Socialization is no other than the implantation of Italian Socialism... View quote
Benito Mussolini
To build community requires vigilant awareness of the work we must continually do to undermine all the socialization that leads us to behave in ways that perpetuate domination. (Bell hooks)
"Urban problems" are increasingly becoming a political issue as the socialization of the means of production is accompanied by the increasing socialization of the means of consumption or, if one prefers, from the moment collective facilities begin to play a strategic role in the structure and rhythms of everyday life.

Manuel Castells
The easiest way to get brainwashed is to be born. All of the above principles then immediately go into action, a process which social psychologists euphemistically call socialization. View quote
Robert Anton Wilson
Why after my years of education, after studying the secular civilization and the socialization process, should I decent to the level of common people, I will make them rise to my level, let me not resemble them, they should resemble me! View quote
Mustafa Kemal Atatürk

The early socialization of a child is crucial. View quote
Ruth Westheimer
I don't pretend there aren't biological differences, but I don't believe the desire for leadership is hardwired biology, not the desire to win or excel. I believe that it's socialization, that we're socializing our daughters to nurture and our boys to lead. View quote
Sheryl Sandberg
An intrinsic problem, similar to the one we discussed in connexion with tradition in general, presents itself with the process of transmission of the symbolic universe from one generation to another. Socialization is never completely successful. Some individuals 'inhabit' the transmitted universe more definitely than others. View quote
Peter L. Berger
By ‘successful socialization' we mean the establishment of a high degree of symmetry between objective and subjective reality. View quote
Peter L. Berger
The child does not internalize the world of his significant others as one of many possible worlds... It is for this reason that the world internalized in primary socialization is so much more firmly entrenched in consciousness than worlds internalized in secondary socialization.... Secondary socialization is the internalization of institutional or institution-based ‘sub worlds'... The roles of secondary socialization carry a high degree of anonymity... The same knowledge taught by one teacher could also be taught by another... The institutional distribution of tasks between primary and secondary socialization varies with the complexity of the social distribution of knowledge. (Peter L. Berger)
A social world [is] a comprehensive and given reality confronting the individual in a manner analogous to the reality of the natural world... In early phases of socialization the child is quite incapable of distinguishing between the objectivity of natural phenomena and the objectivity of the social formations... The objective reality of institutions is not diminished if the individual does not understand their purpose or their mode of operation...He must ‘go out' and learn about them, just as he must learn about nature. View quote
Peter L. Berger
The so-called communism of capital, that is, its drive toward an ever more extensive socialization of labor, points ambiguously toward the communism of the multitude. View quote
Antonio Negri
All children are born pure egoists. They perceive their needs to the exclusion of all others. Only through socialization do they learn that some forms of gratification must be deferred and others denied. View quote
Andrew Vachss
First let us ask whether our wealth-creating agencies, particular that of industry, are to be based upon private enterprise of policy management. I can not see how any intelligent observer can have any possible faith in the capacity of political management to provide either stability or progress if it should set out to operate the agencies of wealth creation, particularly industry. It is my firm conviction that any form of 'Government Regulation of Business' is bound to result in an ever-increasing interference with the broad exercise of initiative - the very foundation of the American system. That is the natural evolution of bureaucracy. If that be so, might not the ultimate logical result be the necessity for the socialization of industry through the break down of the profit system induced by the accumulative effect of the ever-increasing political management. We do not need to go far afield to see definite evidences of that possibility. View quote
