Sociology – Lesson #2 Socialisation
Primary Socialisation �At home (parents, family but also culture – e. g. food) �Children are not passive learners. They receive information but they also may reject some of it for different reasons.
Secondary Socialisation Mass Media Examples: �The good guys and the bad guys �Definition of beauty ( a pink world) �Alkinoos’ favourite coulour �Top Gun What if there was no mass media industry?
Secondary Socialisation Schools Children learn how to interact with other children, with adults and how to deal with rules. They also learn how to be independent from parents, the importance of time but also they acquire the skills needed to survive in the society. What if there were no schools?
Secondary Socialisation Peer groups Definition: Peer groups are people in the same social position whom we are with regularly, for example a class at school or a particular group of friends. We look up to other people’s behaviour because: 1. We don’t know how to behave in certain circumstances and we are looking for guidance 2. We seek acceptance from the group. This may transform our behaviour.
Secondary Socialisation Religion The idea of an ideal behaviour and the possibility of punishment if you don’t reach that standard. What if there was no religion?
