The infant enters this world as a selfish little organism pre-occupied with its physical needs. It
soon becomes a human being, with a set of attitudes and values, likes and dislikes, goals and
purposes, patterns of response, and a deep abiding concept of the sort of person it is. Every
person gets through a process we call socialization----the learning process which turns a person

cultures and societies, it varies. Even in conformists’ societies, some individuality is found
within the personalities that provides a point of distinction and comparison for others.
