【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?
