I have learnt two things from being a delivery driver. One is that if you work hard, people will notice and two is that if the job is done right the first time you wont have to correct it later. Although I believe that working “stupid jobs” are important the author, Hal Niedzviecki, of the short story Stupid Jobs Are Good To Relax With has a different opinion of work ethic then I. Niedzviecki promotes doing the minimum since they are getting paid the minimum since they are being paid bare minimum anyways.

Socialization is “the process whereby an individual acquires a personal identity and learns the norms, values, behavior and social skills that are essential appropriate to his or her social environment.” Socialization applies to our daily life and it’s the most important process of human society. Without socialization the human would not be able to take part in group life and develop human characteristics.
