【Week 9.1 April 29(Mon)】——Cheng Yating

1) Summary

It explores the concept of socialization, which refers to the process through which individuals learn and internalize the norms, values, beliefs, and behaviors of their society. It introduces elements of socialization, theoretical understandings of socialization, and some research examples. After reading, I understand the importance of socialization in shaping individuals' identities, personalities, and social interactions and its role in transmitting culture and maintaining social order. Various agents of socialization, including family, peer groups, schools, media, and religion, influence socialization outcomes. Also, the significance of socialization across the lifespan, from infancy to old age, and discusses the socialization experiences of marginalized or stigmatized groups.

 

2) Interesting

The concept of resocialization refers to learning new norms, values, and behaviors when transitioning to a new social environment or undergoing significant life changes. Resocialization can occur in various contexts, such as entering a new job, joining a religious community, or undergoing rehabilitation in prison. This highlights the dynamic and ongoing nature of socialization throughout the life course and the capacity for individuals to adapt to new social contexts.

 

3) Question

How do different agents of socialization interact and intersect to shape individuals' socialization outcomes? For example, in what ways do media and family representations of gender roles reinforce or challenge family socialization messages regarding gender expectations?

1. Summary Scientific method is a method of acquiring knowledge, a systematic mode of thinking and a means of research, which is used to solve problems, explore laws and test theories. The key processes include observing phenomena, constructing hypotheses, planning experiments, collecting data, analyzing results, and summarizing conclusions. The scientific method focuses on proof and repeatability, using experiments and observations to test hypotheses during research, and adjusting or confirming theories based on data. 2. Mention of new, interesting The debate between postmodernism and modernism has been going on for a long time, and they have done a lot of research to carry out this debate. Although this problem has been solved with the efforts of scientists, it also shows that the development of anything is not static, and only continuous exploration can make better progress. 3.

  summarize The scientific method is not a single recipe. It requires intelligence, creativity and imagination. In this sense it is not a blind standard or procedure, but more a way of thinking that encourages us to remain open and critical, constantly challenging and validating existing theories.

In this sense it is not a blind standard or procedure, but more a way of thinking that encourages us to remain open and critical, constantly challenging and validating existing theories. About the points I learned 1. The scientific method is based on careful observation and rigorous skepticism. This means that scientists should not readily accept any ideas or assumptions, but should always question and think critically about observational data. 2.Scientific inquiry is not merely the pursuit of truth, but the process of shedding inhibited skepticism and establishing reliable beliefs.

 Summary: Social stratification is a multidimensional concept encompassing the impact of factors such as wealth, income, race, education, and occupation on individuals' social status. In modern Western societies, social stratification is typically divided into upper class, middle class, and lower class, with each class further subdivided into smaller categories. Social stratification is not only about quantitative inequalities but also involves beliefs and attitudes toward social status. Within complex social structures, there exist various stratification phenomena, with the most privileged individuals and families enjoying disproportionate access to income, power, and other social resources. Social mobility refers to the movement of individuals, social groups, or populations between or within layers of the stratification system. Open stratification systems allow for mobility between individuals, whereas closed systems have minimal mobility, with social status often remaining uncha...
