Crosser Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 The 'socialisation process' is the way we all come to adopt acceptable behavioural norms and it encompasses so much more than what we read or watch. It includes our family, work and many life circumstances and group influences. I am unable to decide which has been most significant in determining my own values and beliefs but have come to see that it is, or should be, also a teaching process by which we can adjust and improve our behaviours in any field by constant rationalisation, new understanding, realisation and example. Indeed it is, however this sometimes (especially in this age) accounts to brainwashing by our media and peers. Radicalisation isn't just for others, sometimes it's applied to YOU without you even realising the fact............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At some point in their life, people should learn how to think; but we all learn somethings in our younger years. It might be a belief in God, it could be that rich people are richer because they are better people or it could be that its ok to exploit people. We all have an inbuilt learned bias.

No, free thinking is one of the few things we (as individuals) have left to bargain with in real life, it helps us move forward in careers, politics, life choices and almost everything.... Once that is taken away by ANYONE, we are just drones of any system which wants to control us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnlittle Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Absolutely. Education is so important in enabling informed free-thinking yet is often denied to some or rejected and misused. Our biases thus are perpetuated and passed on whether radical, conservative or religious or not. Some people succeed without the need to question their values but many also are destined to fail.

Ridgewalk Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 I remember in my childhood watching 'Star Trek', and I am sure it was very influential in its time. The crew of the Enterprise was racially mixed, the ship had to be interracial because it represented all of mankind. There was much more racism back in 1966, when it was first shown; the show was very much ahead of its time. I am sure we all have other influences. I am a Liberal Democrat, LDs are said to be more into science fiction then members of other political parties. I can immagine many Conservatives would enjoy the TV program, Yes Minister, more so than Labour voters. UKIP voters maybe like it too. Your thoughts please. That’s a really good question. Difficult to answer unless you have some «* Eureka «* moment «* «*Saul on the road to Damascus*» experience. I think many influences are sub-conscious. Although I’d like to think that Marxist class consciousness had influenced my values and behaviour I suspect it’s Catholic social teaching that has most influenced me, having had a massive dollop of the stuff growing up. I can say, having been around many young Liberals in the mining village I grew up in, I could never in a million years vote Liberal or their new incarnation as the Lib Dems, Tories by a different name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
