1. Explain the relationship between Sociology and Education and Education with Society.
An individual can learn very little by himself. Others play a very important role and
contribute a lot to his learning process, to those he met and encounter in his day to day life.
The presence of other persons is important because a person learns from the knowledge
gained by others. Therefore the process of getting education is always a social process. The
word Sociology is from the Latin word ‘socius’ – which means ‘companion’ and the Greek
word ‘logos’ which means ‘ the study of’. So the word literally means the study of
companionship or social relations. The word Education comes from the Latin ‘educere’
which means ‘to lead out’. Webster defines education as the process of educating or
teaching. Thus, from these definitions, one can assume that the purpose of education is to
develop the knowledge, skill, or character of students. Sociology and Education are
mutually interrelated and they are interdependent on each other. While Education with
Society is also interrelated. The type of education everything depends upon the society we
live in. According to Ottoway (1957), "one of the main purposes of education is to transmit
to the young the cultural values of a society. Through education, society makes sure that
its traditional ways of life are preserved. The aim of education is not only to educate,
enhance and teach each learners but also to develop those social qualities and feelings of a
child which will enable him to grasp his responsibilities in the society.

2. Discuss the Agents of Child Socialization.

The four primary agents of socialization examples are family, schools, peers, and mass
media.
Family- A family is typically regarded as the most significant socializational force. We are
entirely reliant on other people to survive as infants. Our parents, or those who play the
parent role, are responsible for teaching us to function and care for ourselves. They instruct
 us about close bonds, group dynamics, and resource sharing, along with the rest of our
family. They also give us our first set of values, beliefs, and standards, which typically
mirror their own social status, religion, ethnicity, and other factors.

Schools- The school is the next crucial component of early socialization. Of course, the
stated objectives of education are to impart topic knowledge and to impart practical abilities
such as adhering to rules and deadlines. But pupils learn from more than simply the
academic material that has been developed by instructors and school officials. Through our
interactions with instructors, staff, and other students, we also pick up social skills at
school. For instance, we learn the value of following rules and that in order to succeed, we
must learn to wait, be quiet, and occasionally seem to be interested even when we are not.

Peers- Peers are another important socialization tool for both kids and adults, but their
impact is most noticeable while kids are young. Children observe their peers and pick up
social skills from them. Peer groups frequently have an impact on children's interests,
speaking patterns, worldviews, and attitudes to a range of situations. Children who
consistently engage in favorable peer interactions tend to acquire strong social skills and
may feel more at home in their own community. That’s why it also important as early age
that a child should engage with other people, their peers to build their selves.

Mass Media- TV, the Internet, radio, magazines, books, and more are examples of mass
media. It is becoming a more significant socializing tool in the lives of many people
especially today that we are living in a modern and lot of technology world that is why
children may be especially affected. Media, like all agents of socialization, can offer a
variety of advantages, including: (1) Extending one's horizons culturally, (2) Enabling
communication between people and their relatives and family, (3) Providing information
that people might not otherwise have access to.

3. Describe the notable contributions of the respectable personalities in Moral Education.

There were many respectable personalities that gives notable contributions in Moral
Education, and this were the following;

1. Jesus- Jesus is the ultimate Moral Norm. There were teachings that focuses on the word
of Jesus, and many follows the word of Jesus. We, Christian follows the word of God,
the Ten Commandments. We may have different religion, but we were following the
same path, which is the right path. We live in this world following the morals that we
think that are right. Of course, we have the right to choose but as a person we strive to
be better for ourself and the number reason is that because we have faith, we have faith
in God, we believe in Jesus, we believe and trust that by following the path and word
of Jesus, we’ll know the truth and the right.
2. Pythagoras- Pythagoras is most well-known for his heroic discovery of the
Pythagorean Theorem. Though his mathematical influence was his most notable one,
Pythagoras also heavily influenced moral, ethics & religion. Pythagoras’ moral code
 made him a hero. His ethics were a more personal and more identifiable aspect of his
personality, rather than just his actions. The Pythagorean beliefs were “secrecy,
vegetarianism, periods of food abstinence and silence, refusal to wear animal skins.”
These beliefs made Pythagoras not only a good person, but a hero.
3. Confucius- Confucius promoted education for the poor and underprivileged. For him,
education was very essential that everyone must have whatever status you may have.
His famous line which is the golden rule is that “Do to others as you would want done
to you." This line marks the most to everyone especially to moral education, this shows
respect, understanding and the principle of treating others. It involves character of a
person, on how he should react after the situation.
4. Plato- Plato gives importance to nursery education, he thinks nursery education plays
a vital role in the education of man. It help to build his moral, character and state of
mind.

or who God is. He define and explain God in a positive ideas. He also emphasize the
great power of a teacher, the molder and giver of knowledge which helps character.
