Socialization process
Socialization is a lifelong process in which an individual learns the essentials of society. Socialization is a process
of learning norms, rules, regulations, values and attitudes of society. It is a lifelong process which starts from
childhood till to the death of a person. Socialization is a vital process of learning through which the society exists.
Each and every society socializes its members according to its own values. For example, if a baby enters in
American society, he/she socializes according to the characteristics of American society. In the same way, the
children of Russian societies are being socialized according to the characteristics of Russian societies. A man
learns ways of attitudes, behaviors, languages, and cultures of a society through the process of socialization.

psychology.about.com/d/theoriesofpersonality/a/...
According to Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic theory of personality, personality is composed of three elements.
These three elements of personality--known as the id, the ego and the superego--work together to create complex
human behaviors.
The id is the only component of personality that is present from birth. This aspect of personality is
entirely unconscious and includes of the instinctive and primitive behaviors. According to Freud, the id
is the source of all psychic energy, making it the primary component of personality.The id is driven by
the pleasure principle, which strives for immediate gratification of all desires, wants, and needs.
The ego is the component of personality that is responsible for dealing with reality. According to Freud, the ego
develops from the id and ensures that the impulses of the id can be expressed in a manner acceptable in the real
world. The ego functions in both the conscious, preconscious, and unconscious mind.The ego operates based on
the reality principle, which strives to satisfy the id's desires in realistic and socially appropriate ways.

The superego is the aspect of personality that holds all of our internalized moral standards and ideals that we

Time of Trial (1975), Habits of the Heart: Individualism and Commitment in American Life (1985)
and Religion in Human Evolution: From the Paleolithic to the Axial Age (2011).
d. Emile Durkheim considered by many to be the father of sociology. He is credited with making
sociology a science, and having made it part of the French academic curriculum as "Science Sociale".
During his lifetime, Emile Durkheim gave many lectures, and published an impressive number of
sociological studies on subjects such as religion, suicide, and all aspects of society.
sociology.about.com/od/Profiles/p/Karl-Marx.htm
Marx's theories about society, economics and politics, which are collectively known as Marxism, argue that all society progresses through
the dialectic of class struggle. He was heavily critical of the current socio-economic form of society, capitalism, which he called the
"dictatorship of the bourgeoisie," believing it to be run by the wealthy middle and upper classes purely for their own benefit, and predicted
that it would inevitably produce internal tensions which would lead to its self-destruction and replacement by a new system, socialism.
Under socialism, he argued that society would be governed by the working class in what he called the "dictatorship of the proletariat." He
believed that socialism would eventually be replaced by a stateless, classless society called pure communism.

7. Even among identical twins, brothers and sisters, teachers should not compare abilities because
a. every individual is unique
b. comparisons can arouse the feeling of hostility and anger
c. comparisons can lead to unnecessary pressures
d. all of these
Although every person has unique DNA (except for the identical twins), identification of people is not
based on the sequencing of someone's genome. Instead, analysis of mitochondrial DNA in a region of a
displacement-loop (D-loop or control region) or of short tandem repeats (STRs) is used for identification
purposes. D-loop analysis is used for individual identification in forensic analysis. This is possible due
to the polymorphisms of such sequences resulting from substitutions of base pairs during DNA
replication process

8. The lowest IQ indicated in the intelligence scale isa. moron
c. idiot
b. imbecile
d. feeble-minded
www.personality-and-aptitude-career-tests.com/iq-rating-scale.html
Original IQ Rating Scale
As described previously, Mr. Lewis Terman was the originator of the term of the IQ in 1916. He presented the IQ
rating scale in different categories as under:
IQ Ratings of Over 140 - Genius or near genius
IQ Ratings of 120 to 140 Highly intelligent
IQ Ratings of 110 to 119 Very intelligent
IQ Rating of 90 to 109 Normal or average intelligence
IQ Ratings of 80 to 89 Dullness
IQ Rating of 70-79 Borderline deficiency
IQ Ratings Under70 Definite feeble-mindedness
In psychology, an idiot has the least intelligence on the IQ scale (this now is equivalent to someone who
is mentally retarded or the more politically correct mentally challenged); an imbecile is not quite as dumb as
an idiot and is now considered equivalent to moderate retardation; a moron is then the highest level of
intelligence for someone who is mentally retarded, thus considered as being mildly mentally retarded.
Specifically, those who have an IQ between 0 and 25 are idiots; IQs between 26 and 50 are considered
imbeciles; and those who have an IQ between 51 and 70 are considered morons.

Jewish A. Merin,Ed.D

justifies the means, since he used all kinds of nefarious means to get elected.It is something that you say

we'll have to cut down the forest to make space for the golf course, but I feel the end justifies the means.

b. Himself
c. Other
Socrates is described as having neglected his own affairs, instead spending his time discussing virtue,
justice, and piety wherever his fellow citizens congregated, seeking wisdom about right conduct so that he
might guide the moral and intellectual improvement of Athens. Using a method now known as the Socratic
dialogue, or dialectic, he drew forth knowledge from his students by pursuing a series of questions and
examining the implications of their answers. Socrates equated virtue with the knowledge of one's true self,
holding that no one knowingly does wrong. He looked upon the soul as the seat of both waking
consciousness and moral character, and held the universe to be purposively mind-ordered.

Stages of Cognitive Development. Piaget identified four stages in cognitive development:

Sensorimotor stage (Infancy). In this period (which has 6 stages), intelligence is demonstrated through
motor activity without the use of symbols. Knowledge of the world is limited (but developing) because
its based on physical interactions / experiences. Children acquire object permanence at about 7 months
of age (memory). Physical development (mobility) allows the child to begin developing new intellectual
abilities. Some symbollic (language) abilities are developed at the end of this stage.
Pre-operational stage (Toddler and Early Childhood). In this period (which has two substages),
intelligence is demonstrated through the use of symbols, language use matures, and memory and
imagination are developed, but thinking is done in a nonlogical, nonreversable manner. Egocentric
thinking predominates
Concrete operational stage (Elementary and early adolescence). In this stage (characterized by 7 types of
conservation: number, length, liquid, mass, weight, area, volume), intelligence is demonstarted through
logical and systematic manipulation of symbols related to concrete objects. Operational thinking
develops (mental actions that are reversible). Egocentric thought diminishes.
Formal operational stage (Adolescence and adulthood). In this stage, intelligence is demonstrated
through the logical use of symbols related to abstract concepts. Early in the period there is a return to
egocentric thought. Only 35% of high school graduates in industrialized countries obtain formal
operations; many people do not think formally during adulthood.
44. Which of the 3 id, ego, and superego, consist(s) of instincts?
a. ego
c. ego & superego
b. superego
d. id
The id is the primitive and instinctive component of personality. It consists of all the inherited (i.e.
biological) components of personality, including the sex (life) instinct Eros (which contains the libido),
and aggressive (death) instinct - Thanatos.
The id is the impulsive (and unconscious) part of our psyche which responds directly and immediately to
the instincts. The personality of the newborn child is all id and only later does it develop an ego and
super-ego.
45. Dr. Y teaches in a remote multigrade class. His principal and supervisors seldom visit him. He teaches

c Achilles heel
d. persecution complex
During the phallic stage, the primary focus of the libido is on the genitals. At this age, children also begin to discover
the differences between males and females.
Jewish A. Merin,Ed.D

8
Freud also believed that boys begin to view their fathers as a rival for the mothers affections. The Oedipus complex
describes these feelings of wanting to possess the mother and the desire to replace the father. However, the child also
fears that he will be punished by the father for these feelings, a fear Freud termed castration anxiety.
The term Electra complex has been used to described a similar set of feelings experienced by young girls. Freud,
however, believed that girls instead experience penis envy.
Eventually, the child begins to identify with the same-sex parent as a means of vicariously possessing the other parent.
For girls, however, Freud believed that penis envy was never fully resolved and that all women remain somewhat
fixated on this stage. Psychologists such as Karen Horney disputed this theory, calling it both inaccurate and
demeaning to women. Instead, Horney proposed that men experience feelings of inferiority because they cannot give
birth to children.
