Resocialization is particularly extreme when individuals are removed from their previous roles within society, and their former identities are stripped away. What sort of life change would lead to this more dramatic form of resocialization?

Entry into a total institution.

Explanation: Resocialization is the process by which an individual's sense of social values, norms and beliefs are changed and this may sometimes require extreme measures. Erving Goffman defined resocialization as a process of tearing down and rebuilding an individual's role and socially constructed sense of self. This process usually takes place in a total institution.

A total institution is a place or system where a number of people in similar situations who are cut off from the wider community for a considerable time lead an enclosed, formal and structured type of life. Examples of total institutions include prisons, fraternity houses, cults and military boot camp.

The process starts by eroding the individuals' identities and independence before being re-engineered or resocialised.

dear friend:

  i hope this letter finds you in soaring spirits and vibrant health. as you had expressed the wish to know about culture, traditions, and unity of india in your previous letter, in the following lines i have tried my best to give you glimpses of our culture, traditions, and unity. you will be amazed to know that our culture is the oldest culture in the world and the birth place of hinduism, buddhism, jainism, and sikhism. you won’t find any other culture as varied and multi-colored, multi-lingual as ours. each region has its own unique culture, traditions, language. there are 22 official languages in india.

  basically, india is a spiritual country with orthodox traditions. for example the people of india believe in traditions set by their wise forefathers. arranged marriages, joint-family system, universal brotherhood, vegetarianism, celebrating festivals such as diwali, holi, eid, etc., are the salient features of our culture and traditions.

  another unique aspect about our country is ‘unity in diversity’. in spite of the multi-lingual, multi-religious, multi-traditional, multi-cultural society, people live peacefully together, respecting one another’s views, cultures, traditions, and differences. i am sure you would love to visit india soon, and have a first-hand experience of the multi-colored culture. give regards to uncle and aunt. do visit india with your family and experience our hospitality.

your friend,

no, dan should reduce his discretionary spending. not long-term goals involve more planning than short-term goals do
