Humans attribute meaning to the world around them according to what they have learned to attribute meaning to. One influence in this learning is a tendency to secure a personal identity during the socialization process. They first create meaning on their own, and then these meanings are adjusted in an effort to fit personal social needs. The frequency and time between these two steps will vary according to external circumstances and degree of socialization, i.e. advanced socialization will diminish the time between the two steps - personal meaning is immediately exchanged for social meaning, and external circumstances will determine how often a new item enters the mind for examination.
Thus the less successful one has been in the socialization process, the more likely he will not understand how to interact with the society he lives in.
