Talk:Internalization

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Is one of the ideas of internalization that we become our parents? No matter how much we may try to fight it when we're young, or how much we may deny it, are we a product, a direct reproduction, of our parents?

I definitely think so. Starting from the gender socialisation, for instance when preschool school boys can be allowed to room farther away from home to preschool girls, so is the concept when we are older. The father has the responsibility to travelling and visiting friends or relatives at farthest rates to that of women.

This also implies to the sexual division of labour, so to say. From the early childhood, it is noted young boys copy or imitate those roles done by by the male parent and so does the young daughter copy those from her mother.

I n summation i can say it is to alarger extent to say that the ideas of internalization one of the ideas that we become our parents..

I'm not making changes on the main page because I just dropped by casually. But I think the definition here misses an important point: Internalization is often about the acceptance of personal responsibility. We INTERNALIZE when we take responsibility for our own actions and the consequences of them. We EXTERNALIZE when it is all someone else's fault. This definition stresses the Freudian use of the word -- accurately, I think. But it does not include more modern uses of the term -- especially the one I mentioned. I'd like to see one of the "regulars" add to this. 69.73.75.222 00:26, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
