Resocialization
Captions available
The idea
Resocialization is the process of discarding learned norms and adopting new ones, usually on entering a setting organized around a different way of life.
In practice
Recruits, novices, and long-term patients each learn a new set of rules by unlearning old ones.
Where people slip
Resocialization requires abandoning norms, which is what makes it harder than first learning.
