Socialization is a form of interaction by which people acquire personality and learn the way of life of their society.
It is considered the essential link between the individual and society. In fact, socialization allows the individual to learn
the norms, values, languages, skills, beliefs, and other patterns of thought and action that are essential for social living.
(Robertson, 1987:115)
Socialization is a process that introduces people to social norms and customs. This process helps individuals
function well in society, and, in turn, helps society run smoothly. Family members, teachers, religious leaders, and peers
all play roles in a person's socialization.
This learning material will provide you with information and activities that will help you understand
socialization, its context, content, processes, and consequences.
Socialization concerns both social structure and interpersonal relations. It contains three key parts: context,
content and process, and results.
Context refers to the culture, language, social structures and one’s position within that particular society. It also
includes history and the roles people and institutions around them performed in the past. One's life context will
significantly affect the socialization process. For example, a family's economic class may have a huge impact on how
parents associate or deal with their children.
Research has found that parents emphasize the values and conducts most likely to help children succeed given
their condition in life. Parents who expect their children to work blue-collar jobs are more likely to emphasize
correspondence and high regards for authority, while those who expect their children to pursue artistic, managerial, or
entrepreneurial professions are more likely highlights creativity and competence.
Gender stereotypes also bear strong influence on socialization processes. Cultural expectations for gender roles
and gendered behavior are conveyed to children through color-coded clothes and sorts of game. Girls usually receive toys
such as dolls or dollhouses that stresses physical appearance and domesticity while boys receive playthings such as legos,
toy soldiers, or race cars that involve thinking skills or manly type of sports. Additionally, research has shown that girls
with brothers are associated to understand that household labor is expected of them but not of their male siblings. Girls
tend to be engaged in doing chores without receiving a pay while their brothers do.
Race also plays a factor in socialization. Since white people bear a disproportionate experience of police
violence, they can encourage their children to defend and know their rights when the authorities try to violate them. In
contrast, parents of color must instruct their children to remain calm, compliant and secure in the presence of law
enforcement.
While context sets the stage for socialization, the content and process comprise the work of this undertaking.
How parents assign chores or tell their children to interact with police are examples of content and process, which are
also defined by the span of socialization, the methods used, the people involved, and the type of experience.
School plays an important role in socialization of students of all ages. In class, young people receive instructions
related to their conduct, tasks, authority, schedules and deadlines. Teaching this content requires social interaction
between educators and students. Typically, the policies and expectations are both written and spoken shall be reiterated
thoroughly. In this manner, the student conduct is either rewarded or punished. As this occurs, students learn standards
of proper behavior suitable for school.
Results are the outcome of socialization and refer to the way a person conceives and conducts after undergoing
this process. For example, with small children, socialization exhibits focus on control of biological and emotional
impulses, such as drinking eating with bare hands rather than eating with spoon and fork or asking permission before
picking something up.
