The Function of Socialization in Social Evolution

By the cognitive aspect in socialization is meant not only the creation and
modification of group and personal opinion, but also the use and improvement of social
and individual technique, a function of the mental interaction of the members of the
group. The fund of knowledge of the group, its proverbs, its creed, and its theory; the
technical equipment of the group, its tools, its weapons, its medical remedies, and its
types of skill; its approved ways of doing things, its standards, and its ideals are all
social developments in the knowledge phase of life. Before entering into an analysis
of the function of intellectual development in the socialization of the person, we shall
consider the role that socialization in the noetic phase has played in human experience
and how far this evolution in the intellectual side of life multiplies the social spirit, or
facilitates and rationalizes its expression.

The cognitive aspect of consciousness in its growth, not only (a) is closely
dependent upon socialization, but (b) has played a role of increasing importance in
promoting the socializing process. The development of the art of language, so
obviously at once effect and cause of social interrelations, made possible
[1] abstraction and the evolution of the higher forms of reasoning out of the germ
present in perception. The invention of writing and of the printing-press, feasible only
because [2] of the existence of a leisure class in a stable social order, facilitated the
communication between the minds of every age, thereby inestimably promoting the
accumulation, criticism, and the diffusion of knowledge.

Estudyante Blues
By: Freddie Aguilar
Ako ang nakikita, Ako ang nasisisi, Ako ang laging may kasalanan
Paggising sa umaga, Sermon ang almusal, Bago pumasok sa eskwela
Kapag nangangatwiran, Ako'y pagagalitan, 'Di ko alam ang gagawin
Ako'y sunud-sunuran, Ayaw man lang pakinggan, Nasasaktan ang damdamin

6
NEGOR_Q4_DIASS/HUMSS11_MODULE11_V2
Ako'y walang Kalayaan, Sunod sa utos lamang
Pag-galing sa eskwela, Diretso na ng bahay
Wala naman akong aabutan, Wala doon si Nanay
Wala doon si Tatay, Katulong ang naghihintay

Tatawag ang barkada, Sa kanila'y sasama, Lagot na naman bata ka

Kapag nangangatwiran, Ako'y pagagalitan
'Di ko alam ang gagawin, Ako'y walang kalayaan
Sunod sa utos lamang, Ako ang nakikita
Ako ang nasisisi, Ako ang laging may kasalanan
Pag-gising…
