Socialization is something which typically every child learns as they grow older. Children learn to play fair and share their toys and not get into fights and to deal with the situation if they DO get into fights, and so on. This is part of growing up physically, psychologically and emotionally, all at the same time. Unfortunately, many children grow up in abusive and isolated households where they do not receive this information and interaction with other children and adults. They are separate from society and separate from adults who act like adults, thus debilitating them further.
When someone goes through puberty and early adulthood without these necessary developed social skills, they are almost decades behind their peers regarding certain types of interaction. Socialization skills are one of the most often neglected traits in these adults since they were never exposed to emotionally viable adult behavior from their parents and their parents’ friends. This is truly disturbing, since it simply continues a pattern from generation to generation of low emotional maturity and self destructive behavior.
Employee drug and alcohol testing was originally created to protect military and then later civilian company assets, so that someone who is under the influence of drugs or alcohol would not be endangering the lives of anyone else. Today, it has become helpful in many other ways, simply because it identifies this pattern of disease and destruction at any point along the process, and allows you to nip it in the bud if you so choose.
One of the most fragile things about us is our humanity. While we are able to conjure great strength, if we have not been equipped as little children to practice normal everyday interactions with others, then we are essentially handicapped well into our adult years until we find a way to develop those skills, and slowly…excruciatingly slowly…pull the dormant disease out of our minds before it becomes active.
