The term socialization refers to the process by which someone is learning to live in

society, learning about the cultures and beliefs as well as how to act appropriately by how society

accepts it. We leave our state of nature through this process. Another fact is that we are born into

socialization and it is continuous throughout our lives. It is considered to be an interactive

process since we are almost completely going through it most of our time being alive and in the

process of doing so we are actually passing it on to others, socializing them . An example of it

may be like when we are watching youtube videos on how to cook something, we are learning.

We can take into consideration how there are biological roles that take place in socialization, like

how we inherit eye colour, and there are preferences in society and cultures like some that brown

eyes are the lowest ranked in population by eye colour hence them believing that it is the least

attractive eye colour. The five agents that were recognized by sociologists were family, school,

peer groups, media, and the workplace. Although some might be self-explanatory like family and

school, some aren’t like peer groups. For family, we can learn about communication, trust,

distrust, love, hate, and family roles. For schools we can learn about rules, learn about authority,

and also to read. For peer groups we can gain the knowledge of teamwork, dating, and

friendship. From the media we can learn about news, fads and fashion and also sports. Finally

from the workplace we can gain new knowledge about expected behaviors viewed in a more

professional way, sort of like a refresh of everything but in a continuum. As for me I believe I

was mostly influenced by my family. Which would be that I can learn about love, hate, family

roles, and so much more. I think that I was the most influenced by that agent because it was kind

of where it all started and how my parents raised me. It's the way I've been since, with of course

mild changes. For example my parents would tell me that I had to be clean and have good
hygiene which fits into gender roles, that I learned about at a young age because of the family

agent.
