Toxic Socialization
Toxic Socialization (Michael S., 2016) is a socialization process that damages the Physical Unit, undermines human potential, and disables the body's ability to contain higher levels of Consciousness. Toxic socialization undermines development and damages an individual by:
- Exposing the physical unit to violence and Abuse.
- Neglecting the needs of the physical unit. Neglect includes:
- physical neglect, failure to meet nutritional needs, inadequate food, shelter,
- emotional neglect, abandonment, failure to provide supervision
- medical neglect/psychological neglect/educational neglect (Behl et al., 2003)
- Destruction and/or degradation of primary attachments (i.e., Parental Displacement) and their replacement with “cultural” authorities.
- Indoctrination
Notes
As this working paper indicates, the deleterious effects of violence and neglect in the childhood are well established.
"Spare the rod and spoil the child" is an admonishment to expose children to violence.
Toxic socialization is implemented in order to create a docile and compliant Physical Unit with low CQ, willing to fit into the accumulation machinery of this planet (Sharp, 2016).
