Are people prisoners of socialization?

First of all, are you talking about the general concept of a person, or a specific person? Secondly, the prisoner you are talking about is a state that humanity is about to develop into, a process. Or is it that as long as society is produced, human beings become its prisoners.

I believe that after thousands of years of development after the establishment of human society, although the main function of society is still to maintain the survival and development of human beings, it also produces a certain alien force from within, and this force in turn binds people, annihilates individual differences, and obeys this force. Its essence is the reaction force of the material world to the transformation of human beings, that is, when human beings create and transform the objective world, the objective world is also shaping the human soul. From the macro perspective of the general concept of human beings, with the development of human society, human beings are becoming more and more prisoners.

Socialization is the process of transformation from a natural person to a social person. It is only when we are not yet born that we are an independent natural person, and once we come into contact with this world, we also exist in society. From this point of view, we cannot be separated from this society, and nature is also a prisoner of society.

We have freedom vis-à-vis the prisoner, the freedom to choose and change. If you can't resist, just enjoy it, accept socialization with a positive attitude, take the initiative to participate, enrich yourself, and exert your own influence, you can break away from the prisoner and become the master.

Let's think about two concepts first, what socialization and what prisoner. Socialization is a neutral concept. Then, from your own standpoint, if it is positive, you can choose to treat the prisoner negatively or neutrally, pointing out the disaster of human socialization, or pointing out that people cannot get rid of socialization.

If it is the opposite, try to prove that people can completely get rid of the socialized "capture". For example, it points out the possibility of pluralistic socialization under the concept of socialization, or points out the interrelationship between people and socialization, where people are not prisoners, but are part of the socialization imposers.

In a way, it is because in some ways people really do not have the right to autonomy in society, they cannot be their own masters, learn basic life skills and basic social norms, internalize values and cultivate social roles that conform to people's identity. However, on the contrary, people can also exert their own subjective initiative and can carry out and create activities to a certain extent.

My ideal life is to go to work at 9 o'clock, eat from 12 o'clock to 13 o'clock, leave work at 5 o'clock at 5 o'clock, exercise from 5 o'clock to 7 o'clock to 7 o'clock, work 4 days a week, and have 3 days off. Go to a resort every two months for a week, climbing, hiking, walking the dog, swimming, drinking beer, and being in a daze. You live in a country of more than a billion people, and basically 100% of the businesses in this country have their own competitors, and there is more than one.

You don't want to work overtime, your competitors don't want to work overtime, everyone doesn't want to work overtime. The best-case scenario is that everyone doesn't work overtime, they all do all the competition in the 8-hour working day, and then by 5 p.m., everyone is off and no one is allowed to work.

It's a pity that one of your competitors doesn't think so. Maybe their company is stronger than yours and wants to maintain this advantage. Maybe their company is weaker than yours and wants to close the gap.

In any case, when everyone uses the same methods as before, increasing the number of hours of work becomes a no-brainer.

Yes, people are the driving force of socialization and are trapped in a cage.
