socialization

imagine if you had lived on some desserted island and didn't know what modern society was like

if you were driving a car (just go with it) and a cop pulled in behind you, you wouldn't give a frick b/c you don't understand what that implies. yet for us, who have been socialized to fear being pulled over, anxiety/attention take hold

I don't think that's necessarily true. Even animals warrant reactions. Some of it is socialized, some of it isn't. I dont believe humans are necessarily born as a "blank slate" like you think.

There's a reason many societies generally held similar traditions/customs.

Even barbaric tribes would have a semblance of "commitment" between the opposite sexes.
