CHECK C.1. Check for Understanding (15 minutes) Directions: Read and analyze the provided caselet below and answer the questions that follow. Genie Wiley's story is one of extreme social isolation and its profound impact on human development. Discovered in 1970 at the age of 13, Genie had spent nearly her entire childhood isolated in a small, dark room in her parents' house. This isolation deprived her of human contact, language exposure, and social interaction, leading to severe developmental delays and emotional trauma. After her discovery, Genie became the subject of intensive research and rehabilitation efforts aimed at helping her develop language skills and socialize with others. Imagine that you are a sociologist, what can you do to help her with her case? ______________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ Learning Modules by PHINMA Education is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License.  GEN 002: Understanding the Self Module #2 Name: _________________________________________________________________ Class number: _______ Section: ____________ Schedule: ________________________________________ Date: ________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ D. CONCLUDE D.1. Summary / Frequently Asked Questions 1. What are the consequences of extreme isolation on individuals' development and well-being? Answer: The consequences of extreme isolation on individuals' development and well-being can be profound. It can lead to challenges in language acquisition, social skills, emotional development, and understanding of social norms. Individuals who experience extreme isolation may struggle to communicate effectively, form meaningful relationships, navigate social situations, and develop a coherent sense of identity. 2. How do feral children differ in terms of language acquisition, social skills, and understanding of social norms compared to children raised in society? Answer: Feral children differ significantly from children raised in society in terms of language acquisition, social skills, and understanding of social norms. Due to their isolation, feral children often have limited or no language skills, struggle to understand social rules and norms, and may exhibit behaviors more commonly associated with animals. They face challenges in communicating, making connections with others, and comprehending complex social interactions. 3. How does Charles Cooley's concept of the "looking glass self" apply to modern-day social interactions, especially in the context of social media and peer influence? Answer: Charles Cooley's concept of the "looking glass self" remains highly relevant in modern-day social interactions, especially with the influence of social media and peer pressure. Social media platforms often serve as mirrors through which individuals perceive how others see them, influencing their self-esteem and self-perception. Similarly, peer influence, cultural expectations, and interpersonal dynamics contribute to shaping individuals' identities and beliefs about themselves, highlighting the ongoing interplay between individual identity and social influences.
