What does "socially inculcated restraints" mean?

Question

In Heart of Darkness, what the hell does this interpretation of Kurt'z famous speech mean? “The horror, the horror” could be a precise condemnation of himself and what he done, hence an affirmation of socially inculcated restraints.

Answer 1

You don't spit on the dance floor unless you want a crack on the jaw.

Answer 2

The idea that homeschoolers are all socially awkward is based on faulty logic at best. This is a proven myth. There have been several studies done that show homeschoolers to be just as well-socialized as non-homeschoolers. The only difference in one study was that the homeschooled kids were more likely to be in positions of leadership. I would imagine that most people who make the claim that homeschool kids are socially awkward don't have a set definition. I would guess that whatever a known homeschooler does in a social setting could be called socially awkward. If he's shy, it's because he's homeschooled. If he's outgoing, maybe he doesn't know boundaries. If he's in a bad mood or deep in thought, he just hasn't been socialized enough. Really any kind of behavior can be interpreted as social awkwardness when you've already decided that someone's socially awkward. It's just human nature to interpret what you observe with the knowledge you already have--even if the knowledge you already have is wrong. My question is: have any of these people who've labeled all homeschoolers as social misfits been to a public school? I grew up in them and I taught in them. I would think it would take one stroll down a school hallway to realize that a huge percentage of kids are socially awkward to say the least.
