An interactive process n Humans aren’t passive n Human agency engages with the micro and macro-social forces of socialization n Interpretive and expressive element of the individual n Ensures variations and social change
Easiest to detect the effects n Children n n Still learning social norms Behaviors that are “cute” or humorous would be “threatening” or weird if adults engaged in them n Populations with developmental disabilities n Frequent challenge to write/implement programs that transmit social norms
Agents of Socialization n Parents/family n n n Social class Race/ethnicity Neighborhood Schools and daycare n n Sports, leisure, & extracurricular activities Work/profession Some argue mass media is also a primary agency… and becoming increasingly important.
