To test the effects of social isolation you would have to set up experiment that compared a group of normally socialized infants (control group) with a group of isolated infants- infants with little or no human contact (the experimental group).

There was an experiment done with isolating infant monkeys. The test consisted of isolating monkeys for different lengths of time before introducing them to group life. They found that monkeys that had been isolated for around three months were able to learn to play and adjust to group life. They found the monkeys that had been isolated for six months or more never adjusted to group life and the other monkeys wouldn't accept them.

# data[].attributes.body
The studies found that the monkeys that couldn't adjust to group life grew up to be hostile adults and when they had babies they rejected or ignored their babies or physically abused them.

The Harlows created another experiment in which to study isolation on monkeys. This experiment consisted of seperating baby monkeys from their mothers at birth and and exposed them with two artificial mothers. The mothers were two wire dummies that were approximate to the same size, and shape as adult monkeys. The difference was one of them had the wires exposed and one of them had a soft cloth covering it. The studies found that the baby monkeys liked the soft one better even when the wire dummy was the only one with a food source. Closeness and comfort seemed to be more important to the monkeys than food.

Scientists are careful when drawing conclusions about the behavior between people and animals. Many experts on human life believe that humans have emotional for affection, intimacy, and warmth that are as important as their physiological needs for food, water, and protection.

Babies that deny close human contact usually difficulty forming emotional ties with other people.

According to classic studies the developmental rate of institutionalized children who generally receive less physical contact than children in family settings can be improved with only 20 minutes of extra touching a day.

There was a case in Pennsylvania of a little girl named Anna that was found in the second floor on a farm locked in a room and tied to a little chair. She lived the first 6 to 10 months of her life in a care facility but when outside agencies denied payment to her she had to be sent back to her mothers house. For 5 years Anna was only given milk to drink. When she was found she was barely alive. At the time of Anna's discovery she couldn't walk or talk and showed few signs of intelligence.

This applies to my life because I know somebody that got a new puppy. They didn't show it enough attention and it just stayed in a room and didn't get enough attention. Every time someone would go in that room the dog would get really hyper and act like a puppy even when it got older. It wasn't trained and didn't get enough attention so it didn't know to act any different.

The term culture refers to the knowledge, language, values, customs, and physical objects that are passed from generation to generation among members of a group.

# data[].attributes.body
There is a material side, and a non material side of culture. On the material side of culture in the United States it includes physical objects such as skyscrapers, computers, cellphones, and cars. On the non material side it includes beliefs, rules, customs, family systems and capitalist economy.

One role of culture is to help explain human social behavior. What people do and don't do, like and dislike, what they believe and don't believe, and what they value and discount are all based on culture.

Culture and society are tightly woven together, one couldn't exist without the other, but they aren't the same thing. Society is a group of people who live in a defined territory and participate in common culture.

# data[].attributes.body
All the different elements of culture knowledge, language, values, customs, and physical objects form a whole culture that defines that society's total way of life.

Human behavior is based on culture. Since people are not born knowing their culture, human cultural behavior must be learned.

# data[].attributes.body
Culture and instincts in a way compare to each other. If humans were controlled by instincts alone, they would all behave in the same way with respect to those instincts. Those who study the mind might point out for instance, that language would not be be possible if humans did not have some predisposition- some instinct- to learn certain things.

If culture is to be transmitted, it must be learned anew by each generation. Both the creation and the transmission of culture, known as cultural transmission, depend heavily on the use of symbols.

Culture plays a big part in my life because I wouldn't be who I am today if I wasn't raised the way I was. I was taught how I should act when I was young and I don't think I would want any other culture in my life.

Religion is an unified system of beliefs and practices concerned with sacred things.

# data[].attributes.body
The particular things considered sacred vary from culture to culture. For example, Bolivian tin miners attach sacred meaning to figures of the devil and of bulls, because Americans don't share those religious beliefs, these cultural items are part of their non sacred, or profane, world.

Sociologists study religion without becoming involved in theological issues.

# data[].attributes.body
The sociological study of religion involves looking at a set of meaning and practices attached to a world cannot be directly observed, and therefore studied with scientific methods, sociologists limit their study to what can be observed: the beliefs and practices related to sacred things.

# data[].attributes.body
Religion exists in some form in virtually all societies. The earliest evidence of religion and religious customs and taboos have been traced as far back as 50,000 B.C.

The first practice was people learning or starting to bury their dead. Some scholars believe they started this because of the belief of life after death.

Religion also plays a huge part in my life. Almost everything I do I have to think about my religion. How i'm raised, how I act, the decisions I make, the clothes I wear, and even the kind of music I listen to.
