The movie Mama is about two feral children abandoned in the
woods for years of their lives. When found they could not speak, walk upright,
and found smiling threatening. They acted like wild animals and took a
very long time to be introduced to society. Feral children relate to sociology
because they show how society socializes us as children and without those
influences, we would be so far behind developmentally. Supposedly society is
what makes us human, and feral children are examples that support that theory.
Without socialization from society, we would all act as these abandoned
children do because after all, society built us. Everything we know (consciously and subconsciously) is because society taught it to us.
