            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.
