Topic: Understanding Socialization

1. Among the type of Socialization which one is important for you ,

and Why?
Primary Socialization is the most important to me because essential for
harmonious physical and mental development of the child and is
satisfied generally by the family (parents), the first 7-8 years of the child.
In childhood and family the primary socialization is best achieved. This
process of transformation of children into true social
human beings, by teaching basic values, through training and language.
Primary socialization is a process deeply emotional character, unlike the
other forms of socialization, secondary and continuous, focused towards
emotional neutrality.
Socialization primary (or basic) allows the learning rules of of behavior,
norms and values that can be assimilated at early ages and which is
informational and emotional baggage of any individual2
It can be stated that the primary socialization has a strong maternal
character associated to some degree with the father's
influence. There is a difference between how the mother or father
educates a child, which has a beneficial role on the child,
giving her valuable and varied experience. After at least eight weeks after
birth, the baby distinguishes between mother
and father when communicating with them.

2. Which agent of socialization exposes us to real world situation?

Explain
Family is the agent of socializations exposes us to real worlds situation.
Family is the first agent of socialization. What constitutes family is also
socially constructed and may or may not exclusively refer to blood
relatives. Family may include neighbors and/or close friends, but more
typically includes parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles,
cousins, etc. These family members teach a child what he or she needs
to know. For example, they show the child how to use objects such as
clothes, computers, eating utensils, books, or bikes; how to relate to
others (some as “family,” others as “friends,” still others as “strangers” or
“teachers” or “neighbors”); and how the world works (what is “real” and
what is “imagined”). As you are aware, either from your own experience
as a child and/or from your role in helping to raise one, socialization
includes teaching and learning about an unending array of objects and
ideas.
Today, parents are deciding when to buy their child a cell phone, how
much “screen time” they can have in a day, and are using all types of
technology to monitor their children, from location tracking apps to
Internet filters. Not only are families demonstrating norms related to
technology through their own modeling and ongoing process of
socialization, but they are also teaching norms and values explicitly.
