Socialization Post 6

Socialization Post


We have been learning about the socialization process.  This includes the distinction between nature and nurture and the importance of nurture.  We also saw that certain agents of socialization (family, peers, school, media) play a strong role in the nurture process. Sometimes they nurture you purposefully (manifest lessons)  and sometimes they nurture you unintentionally (latent lessons).  Explain the nature-nurture dynamic and how agents play a role in it?  Give examples of socialization from your own life.  


To demonstrate literacy, feel free to comment on the myriad sources we read and viewed for parenting (various parenting styles (Tiger, Helicopter, Free Range, etc)) and the movie (Consuming Kids).  We also reflected on how music can be an agent of socialization.  We also did the agents of socialization around the world (The Duggers, The Pacific Island, Thailand, and Western Africa).  Discuss the how the various agents affected them and their views on life.


Reflect and write about your life experiences and your thoughts and views on where you notice socialization through parents, media, peers, etc..
