Directions: Read the text carefully and do the activities that follow. Write the letter that
corresponds to your choice.
Human beings are social animals. We live in groups-in societies- and in every society,
children must learn certain attitudes, knowledge and skills. The process by which we learn how to
act in our society is called socialization. We learn the behavior and beliefs of our society- we are
socialized- both by observational learning and by direct teaching. The teaching may be no more
than making sure that a child sees how a certain behavior is done and when it is called for, so
that the child will imitate it. In a movie or a program, for instance, a father may stand when the
national anthem is played, looking meaningfully at his 4-year-old child, who then also stands and
is rewarded with a smile. Or the teaching may be direct and verbal. You must say please when
you want anything. You must wait for your turn. You must share your food and toys with your
brother and sister.
