Editor's Notes
- Socialization, as a lifelong interactive process of cultural learning, involves different types of social actors, about social expectations and how to interact with other people. In this lesson, we identify and discuss four of the most influential agents of socialization in childhood: family, school, peers, and media.
- Agents of socialization are the individuals, groups and institutions that create the social context in which socialization takes place. It is through agents of socialization that individuals learn and incorporate the values and norms of their culture as well as their various positions in the social structure in such terms as class, race and gender. Socialization occurs throughout our life, but some of the most important socialization occurs in childhood.
- Obviously, a major agent of socialization is the family. This is the first social institution and group that shapes individuals’ selves and personality, the most important agent of socialization. Because there is a great diversity of family structure and size, the impact of family on self-formation is not universal. Moreover, cultural standards of nurturing, display of affection and standards of discipline. From our families, we also inherit our position in the social structure. Families all belong to some social class, racial and ethnic group. This initial social positioning is central to our self-formation but also to our life-chances. The set of dispositions that mark us as part of our social class: manners, speech patterns, vocabulary and articulation styles, bodily behavior and postures. Our habitus defines the type of social interactions in which we feel comfortable. In short, from the moment we were born we are already socializing with our parents, siblings, & relatives. And we can inherit the manners of socialization coming from our family. As infants, we are completely dependent on others to survive. Our parents, or those who play the parent role, are responsible for teaching us to function and care for ourselves.
- In Philippines, in general culture of filipinos, the recent fiestas in the Philippines, many Filipino children can inherit the ways of their parents act with those social events. Another example Filipinos upon turning the age of 18, are not expected to move out of their parents' home and get a place to himself/herself, unlike in American countries. Or Children born last tend to be raised with more relaxed standards of discipline. As a result, they tend to be more sociable and more accepting of unconventional ideas and lifestyles.
- The next important agent of childhood socialization is the school. Of course, the official purpose of school is to transfer subject knowledge and teach life skills, such as following directions and meeting deadlines. In modern societies, education is the most important agent of socialization after the family. Schools are the first impersonal and collective environment that children encounter. Whereas schools’ official function is the transmission of knowledge, they also promote certain values – honesty, competition, respect and individualism – and norms, such as not cheating on tests or being punctual or not arguing with teachers. Children also learn to deal with authority figures other than their parents and with peers. Also, for the first time, schools introduce students to impersonal assessment of their abilities through grades and official records that will follow the students throughout their educational career.
- Another agent of socialization that relates to school is our peer group. peer groups give us an opportunity as children to form relationships with others on our own terms plus learn things without the direction of an adult. Our peers have an incredible amount of influence on us when we're young, so it's understandable that parents worry about the type of friends we choose. our peers also give us a chance to develop many of the social skills we need as adults.
- And in my personal opinion, making new friends outside of school is making connections.
- The last agent of childhood socialization we're going to discuss in this lesson is mass media, which includes television, Internet, radio, movies, books, and magazines. Mass media also seems to reinforce gender and other stereotypes. In addition, on an average, American children watch over two hours of television every day and as much time playing video games.
- This is another agent that our parents are understandably concerned about. Especially today, children are exposed to a wide variety of content, including violence and sex, which many deem inappropriate. Supersaturation refers to the state where we are so completely surrounded by various mass media and they are so embedded in our lives that we no longer find that fact remarkable or noticeable.
