MAKING SOLDIERS - United States Army Basic Training At Fort Benning

United States Army Basic Training (also known as Initial Entry Training, IET) is the recruit training program of physical and mental preparation for service ...

In the military, the first step for any soldier is boot camp. This first stage to being able to serve your country is a brutal 8-12 weeks. During these weeks the officers are working to break down what you think you already know and believe. By breaking through these borders, they are able to do something unique that not many other institutions do. They are able to rebuild you into the type of soldier that they want you to be. This type of process is called resocialization. The actual definition of resocialization is the process of changing your self-values, beliefs, and norms (Conley, 2017).

Resocialization is actually a very important step in boot camp. If the military could not succeed in doing so, then we would not have the uniformed military that we currently have. We have such a strong military because by breaking their soldier down, they can rebuild them with the military’s own values, beliefs, and norms.

The military breaks down the incoming soldiers in a series of steps. For example, in the army the very first thing that happens when you get off the bus is the officers are yelling at you to get off the bus and to move faster. Some steps that follow are being issued a uniform, so then everyone is basically under the same identity. Also, for the weeks you are there, there is a lot of physical labor and training. These training are mainly to get you into the mindset of going over seas and if needed to kill someone you are able to do so. These steps are all part of resocialization. The military has got this method down well because by the end of boot camp, the soldier know are instilled with the military's values, beliefs, and norms.

Social Interaction: What influences our interactions?

Socialization is a process of learning to interact with others and establishing behaviors and rules for us to follow based on these established interactions. It’s an ongoing process throughout our lives. These are “guidelines” presented to us by society teaching us how to function productively as a member of a society based on a collection of “standards” we are presented with. Ultimately your exposure to these interactions helps you develop your personality and who you become as a person.

When does Socialization Begin?

Socialization begins from the moment you are born. From the choice of name, your parents give you, to the outfit color you are dressed in and the toys we are given that have predefined gender roles. Most commonly your outfit color will match your name and biological anatomy of male or female and even that new toy will be associated with a role to perform or expectation of behavior associated with it. Meaning: That new doll defines you as female or that new toolset like dad’s is giving you expectations and ideas of behavior that is expected to go with the object. That’s right, it’s a social construct beyond basic biological anatomy that labels our genitalia and certain sexual traits. Before society gave it a meaning and association with a gender and certain roles and traits that we modernized it simply was just an object. 

Nature versus Nurture: The age-old debate. 

Which wins? The answer is both have a hand in how we develop. Our bodies, for example, may have a reaction to dust and result in sneezing. That's natural. Nurture however is when we are trained to cover our mouths and nose and when someone responds with a “bless you.” The nurture part may change when you are in a different location that doesn’t say “Bless you” or where you aren’t taught the same behaviors. There are limitations to both nurture and nature although they tend to work in conjunction with one another during socialization. Without socialization, the human aspect won't fully develop.

We are heavily influenced by agents of socialization. 

Primary sources: 

1- Family/siblings 

*Note: Demographics, social class, and even birth order can change roles and traditions.

2- School and other institutions: Now peers and teachers also influence us and possibly religious leaders.

3-Media: What is being presented in magazines, on ads, what are we hearing in music and what cultural aspects and changes are we acquiring that help to define us as we become consumers of this media source?

As time passes we experience other forms of socialization. 

Erving Goffman coined the term: Total Institutionalism: which consist of locations such as prison, branches of the military, monasteries, concentration camps, colleges, mental health facilities or any other location that’s designed to break down your currently defined identity and replace it with ones that are rigorous and the same as everyone around you. You wear the same clothing, eat the same foods, are conditioned to believe the same beliefs and undergo almost identical experiences. Events are planned, controlled and isolated from those outside this institution for an extended period of time.

Resocialization- This is the process by which a person learns to adapt to new norms, behaviors, and values. This occurs in several ways. Leaving a total institution and re-entrance back into society is a good example as it also is responsible for your desocialization process since your old values are broken down and the goal is to establish new behaviors. You are then left taking them into the world and learning how to apply them on the outside. Moving to a new country, traveling abroad, or a terrible accident where memory loss is experienced is just a few examples of ways you may need to learn to resocialize. 

Will your new behaviors alter your behavior outside of an institutionalized structure and could you easily conform back? As we seen many times in the prison system resocialization can be hard for many and an area where the system seems to be lacking in helping those through that process and often many reverts back to old habits and find themselves in a similar situation but with modified methods of how to commit a new crime.

As we continue socializing through life our experiences and exposure to events in our lives will vary on an individualized more personal level but we share a few things in common and one of them is based on the dramaturgical theory. 

In this theory, we are merely actors on a metaphorical stage.We have roles and scripts that we adhere too and our the location that it is occurring is our set. We all act in these roles and present ourselves to society based what we want the world to see or what we believed is expected of us.Many times our roles overlap and in some cases, we experience role strain while trying to achieve them. 

It’s important from a sociological point to understand how the macro level of socialization can change society as a whole based on these social cues and signals we give off even if unknowingly we set the stage for what we deem acceptable and “normal”. On the other hand, it’s also important to realize on an individual level that our experiences will vary greatly from a person to person yet collectively they coincide with one another since both factor in to how we come to define ourselves and percieve one another.

Как мы лечим наркоманию: 📍Первый шаг – это комплексное медико-психологическое обследование и анализ ДНК, диагностика общего состояния здоровья, выявление сопутствующих заболеваний, подбор оптимальной схемы лечения наркомании. 📍Второй шаг – детоксикация, вывод из организма токсичных веществ, купирование острых признаков абстинентного синдрома. Говоря простым языком, снятие «ломки». 📍Третий шаг – собственно лечение наркомании согласно индивидуальной программе (медикаментозная и метаболическая терапия, индивидуальная и групповая психотерапия, аппаратные методики, массаж, элементы программы «12 шагов» и т.д.). И, наконец, наркологическая реабилитация, восстановление коммуникативных связей, трудовых навыков, формирование новых представлений о себе и реальном мире. #лечение #наркомании #реабилитационный #для #наркозависимых #наркологический #центр #Киев #Харьков #Одесса #Днепропетровск #лечение #реабилитация #клиника #сын_наркоман #вылечить_наркоманию #помощь #психиатрия #наркология #программареабилитации #recovery #therapyaddiction #rehab #resocialization #rehabilitation #antidrug #Киев (at Sky Family Park)

Sorry if this has been asked already but what do you mean by "assimilated transexual"?

Hi! Here’s how I answered this ask a year and a half ago. I mostly agree with what I wrote there, except that I have become a lot more dubious about the existence of “resocialization” in the interim. I used to think it was really uncommon, but possible. Now, I don’t think it’s possible. I think some trans people (certainly not the majority, but a minority who are able to pass over extended periods) are able to publicly appear to have been resocialized as the opposite sex, in some contexts. But I think when I initially wrote about this, I underestimated the extent to which our formative years literally form us.

A simpler way to put it is, we as trans women may think that living “as women” for a certain amount of time will make us “effectively women”. That’s what I thought when I started my blog. However, I don’t think that way anymore. Not only am I male (always have been, always will be), I am an adult male, hence a man. (Though, a weird kind of man who most people perceive to be a woman.) It’s complicated but I’m ok with that!

Best wishes.

Sometimes when I see autism feel posts that seem to describe something I would classify as also a neurotypical feeling/experience I can identify this dumb thought inside my mind of annoyance that I have to squash and be like - No. "normal" experiences are allowed to be had by all people and that if even one autistic person has that experience then it does become an autistic feel. I still have work to do. If the process were easy it wouldn't be real change.
