This document summarizes several major social-psychological theories of human development:
1) Freud's psychoanalytic theory which views development occurring through the id, ego, and superego.
2) Piaget's stages of cognitive development from sensorimotor to formal operations.
3) Cooley's looking-glass self and Mead's role-taking which see the self developing through interactions and assuming social roles.
4) Agents of socialization like family, school, and peers which teach individuals to participate in society.
Socialization is the lifelong process by which people learn the attitudes, values, and behaviors appropriate for their culture. It is influenced by several agents including family, schools, peers, media, and the workplace. Socialization affects both cultural practices in society and individuals' self-images. Several theorists have contributed to our understanding of socialization including Cooley, who introduced the concept of the looking-glass self, and Mead, who discussed the importance of generalized and significant others.
This document provides an overview of Unit 3 in a sociology course which examines how society shapes the individual. It outlines topics that will be covered such as theories of personality development, socialization agents, adolescence and dating, work, adulthood, and deviance. Students are expected to understand concepts like nature versus nurture, social control, unemployment, and Levinson's stages of adult development and apply sociological perspectives to analyze how culture and social forces influence human behavior and interaction.

The unit covers theories of personality development, socialization agents, adolescence and dating, social control and deviance, work, and adult development stages. Students are expected to understand and apply concepts related to these topics, such as nature versus nurture, socialization theories, dating patterns, deviance perspectives, changes in the workforce, and Levinson's adult development stages.
This document discusses the key agents of socialization which are the institutions that influence individuals to learn social norms. It identifies the main agents as the family, peers, school, and community. The family is described as the primary agent of socialization where children first learn norms. Peers also have significant influence especially during teenage years. School socializes children through both its formal curriculum and hidden curriculum. The community provides local norms and opportunities to interact with others. Overall, socialization is explained as the process where individuals internalize societal expectations through interactions with various social institutions.
1) Socialization is the process of learning social norms, beliefs, and values from others through social interaction.
2) Theories of self-development include psychological perspectives that see the self emerging through psychosexual stages or life stages, and sociological perspectives that see the self developing through social interactions and interpreting others' reactions.
3) Agents of socialization like family, peers, school, workplace, religion, government, and media help communicate social expectations and reinforce norms during the socialization process across the life course.

2 Culture, Health and Society - Basic Conceptsmloefler
This document defines and explains key sociological concepts related to culture, norms, values, and socialization. It discusses how culture is the shared way of life learned and transmitted between generations in a society. Norms provide guidelines for acceptable behavior while values represent abstract ideals. People learn norms and values through the process of socialization primarily from their family and peer groups when young, and later through schools, work, and media. Understanding these foundational sociological concepts is important for discussing and analyzing society.
This document discusses the formation of personal identity through both nature and nurture.

Socialization is the lifelong process through which individuals develop their human potential and learn culture through social experience. Theorists like Freud, Piaget, and Mead examined how personality develops from the interplay between innate human drives and social influences from agents of socialization like family, friends, schools, and media. Modern research demonstrates the crucial role of socialization in forming personality, as seen in studies of socially isolated children and monkeys.
Lesson One - Introduction into sociologyaqsa_naeem
This document provides an introduction to key concepts in sociology. It defines sociology as the study of social behaviors and explains that sociologists explore human social interactions through studying relationships between individuals, groups, and social institutions. Some key points:
- Sociology examines how social institutions like family, education, work, health care influence behaviors and how people are socialized from a young age.
- It explores different sociological perspectives like functionalism, Marxism, feminism to analyze topics like crime, family, media.
- Social diversity and social structure influence individuals, but sociologists take different theoretical approaches like structuralism which emphasize social control versus action theory focusing on individual agency.
This document provides an introduction to the concept of socialization. It defines socialization as the process by which humans learn to function in society and defines it as culturally and individually relative. The document outlines socialization as a two-step process involving external teaching of social norms and internalization of those norms. It discusses why socialization is needed for both society and individual development.

Ali Jan submitted a paper on socialization to Ma'am Uzma Waseem. The paper discusses socialization as the process of learning the norms and values of society. It compares the perspectives of psychology and sociology on human behavior. Psychologists focus on how the mind influences behavior while sociologists examine how society shapes behavior. The main agents of socialization discussed are social groups like family and peers, and institutions like schools, workplaces, religion, government, and mass media. These agents teach individuals the norms, expectations, and material and non-material culture of society.

The document discusses a sociology group project on socialization. It includes the group members, topics being covered such as socialization, social development, mind and emotions, social interaction, social structure, and socialization in gender. It provides information on the definition of socialization, its purpose, and the socialization process. It also discusses social development in children and social structure and interaction.
The document discusses socialization and the various ways it shapes individuals. It defines socialization as the process of learning the norms, values, and behaviors necessary to function within society. It occurs through different agents like family, school, peers, workplace and media. There are various types - primary socialization mainly occurs through family in childhood, secondary socialization teaches appropriate behavior in smaller groups, and anticipatory socialization prepares adolescents for adulthood. Socialization transmits culture and influences one's self-image, knowledge, language, habits and skills in society.
1) The document discusses the socio-legal dimensions of gender, including the social construction of gender, masculinity, and femininity. It describes how gender is socially constructed through socialization agents like family and schools.
2) Power and subordination are intrinsically linked to gender, with patriarchal social systems and institutions maintaining male dominance and women's subordinate status. Women experience subordination through various forms of discrimination and control.
3) Honour killings represent an extreme form of patriarchal control where women are killed for violating social norms around sexuality and relationships. India lacks clear laws around honour killings despite their prevalence.
Gender is a social construct that is determined by culture and society, not biology. It defines the roles and relationships between men and women in a given culture. Gender is socially constructed through various processes such as socialization in institutions like the family and schools, which teach children behaviors deemed appropriate for their sex and reinforce gender norms and stereotypes. The social construction of both masculinity and femininity is shaped by the interests of dominant social groups and changes over time and location.
Socialization is the lifelong process by which people learn their culture and acquire identities. It involves learning societal norms, values, and expectations. The ways socialization occurs can differ based on factors like race, gender, and class. Socialization is distinct from casual socializing as it has the purpose of learning one's culture rather than entertainment.
This document discusses the concept of society and how it can be studied sociologically. It addresses that society:
1) Is made up of groups of people who shape their lives in patterned ways that distinguish them from other groups.
2) Cannot be easily defined or observed as a whole object due to its complex and fluid nature, being composed of countless other components like culture, class, ethnicity.
3) Can best be studied sociologically by observing how people live their lives and interact with each other in patterned social processes that together make up the larger society.
This chapter discusses key concepts related to social interaction and social structure. It defines social interaction as how people relate to and form social bonds with one another. Social structure refers to the framework of predictable relationships in a society, including status, role, groups, and institutions. Status is a social position while role refers to the behaviors expected of a status. Role conflict can occur when roles attached to different statuses conflict. Groups are formed around shared norms and values and involve regular interaction among members. Social structure holds society together through mechanical solidarity based on shared views or organic solidarity based on interdependence of specialized roles.
Socialization is the lifelong process by which people learn their culture and acquire a sense of self. It involves learning societal norms, values, and expectations. The ways socialization occurs can differ based on factors like race, gender, and class. It is distinct from simply socializing with others, as its purpose is to interact and learn from others like family and friends.
The document discusses socialization and the nature vs nurture debate. It argues that most social scientists adopt a multi-factored approach that acknowledges both biological and environmental influences. Socialization is defined as the lifelong process of learning social norms and roles through various agents like family, school, peers and the media. The debate is complex with no single determining factor and most traits result from multiple interacting influences.

4. Developing a Social Self
• Self: a person’s
conscious recognition
that he or she is a
distinct individual who
is part of a larger
society
– Emerges through
social experience
– Socialization-
cultural process of
learning to
participate in group
“I” vs. “Me”
• “I” is myself as I am
– Unsocialized self
• Spontaneous
• Creative
• Initiator of social action
– Young Children
• “I” dominated
– “I’m hungry”
– “I want a toy”
• “Me” is myself as others see
me
– Socialized self
– Based on our perception of
how others will respond to
our actions
• Reactive
– Develops later in life
• I: “I want to take a piece of my
friend’s candy without
permission.”
• Me: “How will Sally respond to

monkeys who are
isolated?
– Distressed
– Apathetic
– Withdrawn
– Hostile
– Abusive parents

6. Internet/Technology
• How does the
internet help
socialization?
– More access to
new ideas, people
from around the
globe, and
information.
• How does the
internet prevent
socialization?
– We become
trapped in our own
little world and miss
out of making real-
life connections
7. Structural-functionalist view on
socialization
• Approach: Socialization…
• Serves as the important function
of:
– reinforcing the social structure
– maintaining society
– transmitting culture from one
generation to the next. clip
• Motivation and ability to perform
role expectations are acquired
through socialization
• Prerequisites for survival of the
social systems
• Example:
• Can be compared to
vaccination:
• Members of society are
injected with the attitudes,
values, beliefs, and norms that
will allow them to assume and
successfully fulfill the roles of
full and productive citizens
8. Conflict theorist view on
socialization
• Approach: Socialization…
• One of the most powerful and
effective tools used by those in
power to:
– maintain the status quo
– legitimize existing social
inequalities
• Prepares people for class
related roles they will fill
throughout their lives
• Example:
• Upper class children:
– Socialized for positions of
authority and leadership
roles
– How to interact among
members of same class
and lower classes
• Lower class children:
– Socialized for positions to
serve those higher on the
social ladder
• Trained to show respect for
those above them in social
class
9. Symbolic Interactionist view on
socialization
• Approach: Socialization
• Stress importance of:
– Primary groups
– Interpretation of meaningful
symbols
– Development of a social
identity
– Viewing self as an object
• **Symbolic interaction’s major
contribution to sociology is
socialization.
• Example:
• Looking Glass Self-Cooley
– Our self-image is largely a
result of how we interpret
others’ impressions of us
• Symbols :
– Verbal
– Non-verbal
10. The Looking-Glass
Self
• A self concept (image
of yourself as having
an identity separate
from other people)
based on our ideas of
others’ judgments of
us
– 1. We imagine how
we appear to others
(as if they were a
mirror)
– 2. We imagine the
reaction of others to
our imagined
appearance
– 3. We evaluate
ourselves according
to how we imagine
others have judged
• NOT A CONSCIOUS
PROCESS
• EX. 1. You approach a
group of classmates
and are immediately
aware that you are
giving off an
impression
– 2. You “read” both
their verbal and
nonverbal reactions
to assess whether
they see you as you
see yourself
(friendly, witty,
charming)
– 3. If their feedback
is positive, you feel
friendly, witty, and
charming. If their
feedback is
11. Social Perception
• Process by which we
form impressions of
others and ourselves
– We give off and
receive cues about the
kinds of persons we
are
• Depend on:
– Physical appearance
– Clothing
– Gestures
– Tone of voice
– Facial expressions
– Posture
• Use these cues to
determine:
– Occupational identity
– Social class
– Group membership
• Stereotypes are used
when we cannot know
everything about
someone we meet…
