Views on Socialization

Views on Socialization

During our class time we discussed various topics. One topic that caught my attention was Socialization. This chapter explains the different theories of development from many well known sociologists. This chapter also explains how different settings affect socialization as a whole. The reason I felt this chapter was best was because this is everyday life and it's interesting to see what affects communities and individuals. It also interests me to see how different sociologists view theories of development.

Mass media has a big influence on socialization. In mass media, they teach citizens new styles and new ideas. This causes people in the U.S. to wear a certain brand or act a certain way. I can relate to this personally since I wear brands such as Aeropostale, Nike, and Adidas. These brands are personal favorites of mine so I would chose them over any other brand any day. Everyone has their own favorite brand and try to display it off to show others that their brands are superior. I feel that these ways are popular trends and if you don't dress the same, you are looked at as an outsider or a creep. This is one of the settings that not only affects families and some communities, but the entire nation/world.

Socialization can be viewed and described in various ways. These ways can be viewed as personality, isolation, or nature. Every person acts the way they do for a reason. The way you were brought up can affect the way you act towards others. I was brought up to be generous and respectful therefore, I show respect towards everyone that deserves it.
