ABSTRACT
A child actually passes through many stages of adaptation to the social environment, and the functions of his social behavior are highly variable, depending on particular developmental stages. The child’s social behavior, therefore, must be thought of as behavior that has been refracted innumerable times as a function of the biological development of the organism. In real life, people sustain their existence by adapting nature to their needs in the course of labor. Human industry is collective in nature, and always requires a certain degree of organization of social forces, as a preliminary moment for its appearance. Man’s social behavior is determined by the behavior of his class, and each person is inevitably a person from a particular class. Aristotle long ago demonstrated in rough outline the transition from one stage to another stage that, in general, coincides with those divisions everyone is more or less in agreement about.
