    The document discusses how understanding agents of socialization is important for interacting with others. The author realized that their introverted nature and fear of saying something wrong was still impacting how people viewed them. Even though they were silent, their presence or lack of presence could cause people to think they are rude or stupid. The biggest takeaway was that by speaking up more confidently, the author could now actively influence how others see them, rather than passively letting their silence shape others' perceptions.

    Application of Knowledge, Agents of Socialization 2

    The understanding of the Agents of Socialization is key when interacting with other

    humans, especially if those humans are family, friends or peers of any kind. This sort of

    understanding allows you to make conscious decisions about how you act and therefore, by

    extension, how you influence those around you. The biggest takeaway I’ve gotten from this

    specific chapter is how I need to act around others. For the past years, I’ve been mainly

    introverted and silent. This isn’t from a lack of confidence, but rather a fear of saying something

    wrong. This fear causes me to be silent most of the time, watching and listening to others talk,

    waiting for a chance to jump in with something I know to be right. However, I now realize

    thanks to chapter 2, that even these non-speaking events are impacting people, making them

    think about me in a certain way. This is an interesting idea that I had never truly thought of

    before, that even in inaction, action is taken. My presence or lack thereof could also cause the

    exact thing that I’ve been trying to avoid by being silent and waiting, people to think of me as

    stupid or rude.

    This chapter was really great cause it got me thinking that I would actually be able to

    have the exact same effect I’m already having on people, except now I would have more control

    over it because I’d be able to say what I mean, instead of waiting for the right time. The act of

    waiting had the same result as me talking, just in a more negative way. Thanks to this chapter, I

    can begin to speak my mind more clearly, taking a more active role in how others view me, from

    friends to people at college to people at work.
