Activity 1 

1. Key concepts: society is made up of selves. For an individual to live in a  society, they
have to interact and be a part of the social system. 

Society affects the self, and the self affects the society. 
2. Key concepts: religion, media, parents, schools. Religion influences choice of  moral
standards; media is a pervasive move toward how a 

person develops, especially in public; parents are potentially the most  influential of all
agents of socialization; and schools start shaping public 

behavior of people at an early stage in life. 

3. Key concepts: learning the expectations and knowledge of a society, and  developing
sense of self. Learning the expectations of society helps 

one to fit in, as well as frame what a lifestyle should be like. Developing a  sense of self
is how learning to be part of society and one’s ability 

make that happen defines the person. 

4. Key concepts: Work and family roles are largely realized as adult roles. They  define
what we generally need to socialize ourselves to be successful 

as grown-ups that are not as important in the same way for children and  minors.
