Socialization- is the process through which
people learn their culture's basic norms, values, beliefs, and appropriate
behaviors.
When reading chapter 6 and watching the videos and reading I started to
feel more connected to this chapter then any before. This chapter deals with
the socialization on how we operate with the social world. From when we are
children we are shaped by family beliefs and social ideals. While growing up we
change taken on new roles that is achieved status, student, employee, spouse,
retiree. These different achievements are influenced by the society we choice
to live in. Every one on the earth doesn't have the same values that other
choice to but its then that when people become individuals we gain a sense of
self by what we interact with inside of the society we live in.
The video "A call for Men, a video conference led by Tony Porter" that explain the "Man Box" This man box are the ways in witch men are expected to act. Social norms that are passed down in parenting. How men shouldn't cry to how men are the protectors in the family. But the most important role of all is to never act like a girl this show weakness. Agents of socialization plays a
role in the thinking of how these beliefs come to place. "Family" as
stated in chapter 6 is the "primary agent of early socialization." In
the family young men learn from their fathers.
This video related
back to the article "Parents Socialization of Children" since not all cultures
base man to act in these norms. Different parenting technique is practice such
as Authoritative, Permissive, Authoritarian, and parenting.
These are different ways kids are raised around the world and though their
society norms that is practice. As for the video "Killing Us Softy"
is how woman are viewed in society. It is a very moving video on how woman are advertised
through marketing, media, and ideals. While watching this video as a male I was
being reminded the every witch way how society appropriate behavior effects
woman. From the way they are judged about their appearance to their role
in the family was being influenced on woman since childhood.
I'm so glad that you can see the ways that females are being pressured everyday to live. Your blog is very interesting and as a female I always thought that guys never cared or understood how difficult it is to be a female just like its probably hard being a male because of all the labels and standards that we are required to live up to everyday. Its good to know that you are reminded of what we face everyday. The pictures that you used are very good examples of this as well.
ReplyDeleteI have to agree this blog was more fun to work with because it was more down to earth and more relatable than the others. Because it allowed us to express our own feelings and still show us that we're not the only ones going through this .
