Section 1 –
In this section it talks about how personality, emotions and internal control are all parts of who we are. How emotions depend on socialization. “Socialization during childhood centers on learning our culture’s feeling rules.” By socializing with others, that is how we learn how to think, act, and feel. This section explains how socialization and culture can guide us in feeling and expressing emotions. But there is still more research needed.
Key Definition(s): Socialization: “A continuing process whereby an individual acquires a personal identity and learn the norms, values, behavior, and social skills appropriate to his or her social position.” (Dictionary.com)
Key Word(s): Superego: “The part of the personality representing the conscience, formed in early life by internalization of standards of parents and other models of behavior.” (dictionary.com)

Experiences within these groups establish our values, beliefs, and along with other stuff.
Key Definition(s): Self-Concept: “The idea or mental image one has of oneself and one’s strengths, weaknesses, status, etc. ; self-image.” (dictionary.com)
Key Word(s): Resocialization: “The process of learning
