If all(entirely) needs are met automatically by the time a human is born, what is the importance of socialization? To reproduce? Reproduction can be achieved without socialization. hm..this leads me into questioning whether reproduction is truly instinctual. A human can choose to reproduce or not. By why do most humans do? Because of instincts? How does this actually work?
Maybe I didn't really explain myself correctly, sorry. Don't you think it is natural for a human to try interact with another human? Would you find it more natural for a human to interact with a tree? Humans will naturally congregate together. Like I said, there are things one person cannot do without the help of another. Additionally, there are things one person can do that the other can't. To be completely self-sufficient is virtually impossible. This is what has given birth to societies. People grouped together to form villages and eventually cities. For this reason people socilize. Humans need each other by the end of the day.
