Word for the Day for Thursday, October 16, 2008

The Word for Today is Socialization.

Last time around, it was about us as social animals.

This time, looking a bit closer, I see not all definitions are complimentary, for example, the one that relates to a Socialistic government. But even there, the idea, by itself isn't bad, it's just how poorly it's been practiced, which gives the word "Socialism" a bad name. (By the way, Socialism comes across as a Mature Soul method of government. Too bad "enterprising Young Souls" had to ruin it for the "rest of us").

As for where Socialization begins in a culture, it is in the Baby Soul stage, after basic survival lessons are learned.
