 II. Essay.
What is socialization? How does it occur? Where does it occur?
Who is responsible for this process? (10 points)
Socialization is a lifelong process during which we learn
about social expectations and how to interact with other people.
Nearly all of the behavior that we consider to be ‘human nature’ is
actually learned through socialization. It is during socialization that
we learn how to walk, talk, and feed ourselves, about behavioral
norms that help us fit into our society, and so much more. Social
groups often provide the first experiences of socialization.
Families, and later peer groups, communicate expectations and
reinforce norms. People first learn to use the tangible objects of
material culture in these settings, as well as being introduced to the
beliefs and values of society. Socialization occurs throughout our
life, but some of the most important socialization occurs in
childhood. For most people, the process of socialization begins in
the family. Family is their first source through which they
commence their social communication. As a child, a person learns
to see and interpret himself and society through the eyes and
understanding of his parents and other elders of the family. It is
with the aid of the older family members that he/she becomes
familiar with the social culture. It is through the family that
‘socially acceptable’ ways of thinking and behaving are imparted
to a child. Values such as sharing, honesty, idealism, discipline,
etc., are also cultivated in a person through his family. Therefore, it
is vital how parents treat their children, and also how parents
behave in front of them because it is through these interactions that
a child will perceive and develop a sense of ‘self’.
