ABSTRACT

Public discussion about education has in recent years emphasized the importance of personal, social, and moral education (P. S. M. E.) for the full age range in compulsory education. The socialization process, either in a general or more specific context, may be studied, and so could be an object of learning in schools. Turning now to morality and moral education, one is immediately faced with a rather crude characterization of this, caught in the term moralizing. The 'social aspects of life' is a phrase carrying a number of differing meanings. First chapter says that the people can regard it as referring to the set of social institutions and associated practices which constitute the framework of a society. Second, social aspects of life can refer to the process of socialization, in which new members are inducted into a social group's norms. Third, they may note that social living involves the ability to know something about others.
