The process of socialization and solidarity

Abstract

We live in a distinctly individualistic and consumerist society, the repercussions of which interfere in the various forms in which sociability develops. Understanding them requires effort, but even more complex is the challenge to find ways of overcoming the impasses involved in these issues. Would it be possible to identify the deep-rooted relations of social coexistence based on solidarity and with the possibility of them spreading widely within society? The discussion starts with socialization based on the verticality of interactions, passing through interpretations where there is room for reciprocal influences between subjects, and ends with a rapprochement between socialization and solidary culture, seeking an alternate path. While still modest, it is real, as experienced by people who are at the same time so close to us and often so remote from our perception.
