Social Conditioning 68
Social conditioning is the sociological process of training individuals in a society to
respond in a manner generally approved by the society in general and peer groups within
society. The concept is stronger than that of socialization, which is the process of
inheriting norms, customs and ideologies. Manifestations of social conditioning are vast,
but they are generally categorized as social patterns and social structures including
nationalism, education, employment, entertainment, popular culture, religion, spirituality
and family life. The social structure in which an individual finds him or herself influences
and can determine their social actions and responses.
