...Socialization, however, is not a normative term: it describes a process which may or may not affect the reflexive agent, and which may or may not lead to desirable, or 'moral', outcomes. Individual views on certain issues, such as race or economics, may be socialized (and to that extent normalized) within a society. Many socio-political theories postulate that socialization provides only a partial explanation for human beliefs and behaviours; that agents are not 'blank slates' predetermined by their environment.Pinker, Steven.

I can get like that also, I think everyone does. You're just intimidated but you really need to relax and be yourself. Just have fun and don't care what other people think. They may seem better than you in your eyes but they really are just human. So try to talk to them like you would talk to your friends. Good Luck! |

I think it completely depends on the size of the office. In the larger companies I've worked for (we're talking 500 people to a floor), it was a less gossipy group, but I came away with real friends in those instances, usually with the people in my immediate work group. The talk around the office was very casual with others, except for those people in the work group. We really got to know each other well. In the very small company it's much different. I find it to be much more cliquey, and gossip abounds. I don't do the office after work parties at ALL in this group. However the conversations around the office don't seem to have much in the way of boundaries. It's more like a large disfunctional family! I think you need to "read the room" you're talking to and make a decision on what topics to bring up based on that. |

How will technology influence How will technology influence
socializing in the next 20
years?
I already have a few ideas so
what I really need are
references to opinions on some
futurologists. Quotations will
also be helpful.

I am not psychic...but I only see it getting worse. All technology has done is hinder the communication process.The kids of today rely so heavily on technology to accomplish even the simplest of tasks. We are so deep into "technology" mode that people can barely carry on a conversation. Communication has greatly suffered because of this. Communicating is all through text,email, myspace, etc. People would rather send an email or text instead of taking a few extra seconds and actually TALK to a person. Don't get me wrong, I like the convenience technology has had to offer...but at what expense? |
