Study Notes

Socialization

  • Agencies of socialization include family, the first to socialize you into the world, providing sustenance (basic needs), a place to practice social cues, and guidance toward societal expectations.
  • Schools provide age-structured learning, with a formal curriculum (delivered by teachers), a learned curriculum (what students retain), and a tested curriculum (assessed by tests). Social class (upper vs lower) affects opportunities. There are formal (AP, GPA) and informal (grades not recorded) aspects of school.
  • Peer groups consist of individuals with common interests, where roles (leader/follower) are determined by actions and interactions.
  • Other socializing influences include books, news, social media and radio, shaping perspectives that can be influenced by media censorship. These sources provide knowledge that might be absent from day-to-day experience.
