SOCIALIZATION

Hi Humans,

I admire you humans for your willingness to observe rules. You call it socialization, and you teach it to your children at an early age (by parents and nowadays also in pre-school). We domesticated dogs learn it too. You guys teach it to us (yourselves or in obedience school). Socialization is important to make one’s way in life (for humans or dogs). For a dog it is a matter of survival. If a dog remains so unsocialized that he or she bites humans or defecates on the floor in the house or rips apart the furniture or shows any other destructive actions, that dog could end up in the pound and euthanized (a scary thought). For a human the consequences of inability to socialize are usually not so fatal, but it can certainly affect the quality of life.
Now look at the human, Donald Trump. He seems to be challenged as to socialization. He has plainly said that he can’t stop himself from touching female humans whom he finds attractive. Any criticism causes him to react with little thought. Any flattery will make him your devoted servant. It is amazing that so many humans will follow such an unsocialized leader. Well, this mass human behavior is nothing new. It has happened many times in the past.
