Social conditioning
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Social Conditioning refers to the sociological phenomenological process of inheriting tradition and gradual cultural transmutation passed down through previous generations. Manifestations of social conditioning are vast, but they are gererally categorized as social patterns and social structures including education, entertainment and popular culture, and family life. Social Conditioning can be understood as representing the role of 'Nurture' in the Nature vs. Nurture debate, while the 'Nature' aspect is represented by the phenomena described by sociabiology.
The term is sometimes used in other fields i.e. history and philosophy.
