        Soc 142: Socialization
 
    The human potential is enormous, and we all come into life with a variety of inborn, biosocial systems that favor the actualization of that potential.  The socialization course (Soc 142) shows how the natural self-actualization processes interact with the countless social experiences we have in everyday life, shaping our personality and development in one direction or another. The goal of the course is to help you learn how to best guide and direct your own socialization – and self-actualization – toward the goals that you most value.
