Socialization by the ook And the ed
Sociologists define socialization as "the process by which, through contact with other human beings, one becomes a self-aware, knowledgeable human being, skilled in the ways of a given culture and environment." (Giddens, Duneier, & Appelbaum) There are many ways in which we socialization occurs. Interaction with parents, family, neighbors and community members, teachers and fellow students, and religious leaders all contribute to socialization. Other contributors may include cultural influences such as TV and other media, the influence of a child's native language, religious mores, and various racial, ethnic, or gender messages that arrive from various sources. While psychologists often focus on the influence of early life experiences (such as the relationship between the mother and the infant during breast-feeding and weaning) in socialization, many sociologists tend to focus on broader family and cultural issues.
Certainly for many people, especially those who attend daycare and public…...

The teacher can be part of the community that helps to guide the child along in the role of life. It is an important responsibility, but it is just one role to be played. Other members of the community may be equally as responsible, although homeschool moms might beg to differ. One recent study showed that homeschool moms are sometimes fearful about teachers and the community overreaching their boundaries. Concerning homeschool moms, the authors wrote, "they are far too informed to allow their children to participate in the manipulation of numbers as they relate to school performance" (Sanborn, Santos, Montgomery, Caruthers, 2004, pg. 27).
The onslaught of data available through the internet, as well as through other media has informed the latest generation with a relatively large amount of information, more so than at any other time in man's history. Students are more prepared to learn than they were in previous…...

review (2008) suggest that professional mentors and role models have a strong influence on the development of professional nurses and that committed, ethical, and empathetic service on the part of those mentors and role models is associated directly with the development of similar approaches on the part of new nurses. That review also indicated that mentors and role models play an important role in helping new nurses form realistic career expectations that minimize dissatisfaction, disillusionment, and diminution of empathy in clinical settings (Murphy, Jones, Edwards, et al., 2008).
The implications of the Price study (2009) suggest that while individuals who choose nursing as a career do exhibit higher levels of empathy and caring as a group than the general population, those qualities are more likely to diminish through the entire course of professional nursing training. This result runs counterintuitive to expectations that professional nursing training would foster those predispositions and…...

Piaget stated that he believed some 'primitive' peoples never achieve the final stage of formal operations, reflecting his Eurocentric bias -- and his bias in prioritizing abstraction over concrete reasoning as a theorist. Lawrence Kohlberg has been accused of a similar bias in his conceptualization of moral development. According to Kohlberg, children proceed through a series of six stages in which they first obey out of a fear of punishment, then out of devotion to 'rules,' and only later do they formulate higher ethical principles. In Kohlberg's analysis, at the highest moral level of development, "laws are evaluated in terms of their coherence with basic principles of fairness rather than upheld simply on the basis of their place within an existing social order. Thus, there is an understanding that elements of morality such as regard for life and human welfare transcend particular cultures and societies and are to be upheld…...

Socialization into the Profession of Nursing
Feng, . & . (2012). Socialization of New Graduate Nurses to Practicing Nurses. Journal of Clinical Nursing, 13(14), 2064-2071.
The purpose of this study was to discover the socialization involvements of new graduate baccalaureate nurses to practicing nurses. According to the article, "Socialization of New Graduate Nurses to Practicing Nurses" by Feng, the way that nurses struggle with the stress of their specialized role has been of interest to both researchers and healthcare administrators over the past 30 years. Work stress of clinical nurses comes mainly from organizational and professional factors. However, few studies have explored the professional and organizational socialization experiences of new graduate nurses. After considering the difficulties in my socialization and into my new role as a N holding a new BSN, it is apparent that the transition needs to be stress free. As stated…...

esocialization." There is something about the term that sounds just a bit "Big Brotherish." While there may be some instances where this practice is valuable, such as in the case of habitual violent criminals, it seems like a practice that should be avoided for most of society. The implications of this process are many. For example, who is ultimately to say that one set of beliefs and values is "wrong" and must be resocialized with a new set of "right" beliefs and values. Who decides what is right and what is wrong? Who has the ultimate power to make those life-changing decisions? The ethics of this practice clearly come into question, as do the methods. How do we judge the effectiveness of this practice, and how do we choose who is…...

African-American families are close through many generations and branches of the family tree, often more so than other ethnic and social groups and the proverbs these families share seems to be the twine that binds them together and makes them strong.
In an American society that tends to ignore the influence of elders as they age, it is refreshing to see the important role African-American grandparents play in their family and the transmission of culture, history, and socialization skills. The text notes that grandparents are "the essence of family bonds," and in our country, for a majority of society, that is not always the case. In our mobile society, families draw farther and farther apart, and often, these rich relationships between grandparents and their grandchildren do not take shape. Many ethnic cultures maintain these bonds, creating a tight-knit fabric of family that is much more prone to passing on information,…...

Culture and gender: The socialization agents of the schools and the popular media
While students may often debate issues related to gender equality in school, schools can also reinforce gender-based stereotypes. Teachers may unintentionally reinforce traditional gender roles by the types of stories they select to read in literature classes; the students they call upon to answer math problems; and the different types of expectations they set for their students. Even within the relatively egalitarian United States, these practices have been observed. In fact, in merica the myth of equality may be far more dangerous in some respects, because of…...
mlaAccording to David Sadker in 1999, sexual segregation still existed in the United States educational system -- women are likely to major in the far less lucrative fields of the humanities, and concentrating in these subjects lead to far dimmer employment prospects (Sadker 1999:23). Although women today have outnumbered men by a narrow percentage at many universities, this barrier (psychological and logistical) to women making inroads in STEM fields remains in 2013. Employment prospects for humanities and social science graduates are even worse than in the 1990s. Rather than fight the problem of sexism, many schools are creating single-gender classrooms as a way of coping with the fact that girls' performance in math and science tends to falter at puberty. Sadker sees this as a Band-Aid solution, rather than truly addressing the problems of gender equity in the classroom 'head on.' After all, real life is not segregated by sex.
Sadker has a point: even though single-gender classrooms may show greater gains for students in the short run, many nations with gendered educational systems (such as those in traditional societies, in the Middle and Near East, or nations such as Japan where private single-sex schools are more actively patronized) do not show demonstrably more equity between men and women in performance on tests of math and science. In fact, in only two nations do women outperform males in STEM subjects: Sweden and Iceland, where traditionally males have focused on hunting and fishing as a way of life, versus white collar jobs (Can girls excel in math and science, 2009, Education in Japan Community Blog). But this should not be seen as evidence that women are innately uninterested in or poor in math. "Records from top schools in Boston show that girls outperformed boys in physics in the mid-19th century" and female enrollment was higher in these classes while "Latin and Greek…were considered the province of gentlemen -- until the 20th century, when lucrative opportunities began to open up in the sciences" (Can girls excel in math and science, 2009, Education in Japan Community Blog). Schools can have a powerful shaping influence in determining what subjects are gendered male and female, and thus indirectly affect the future of students in terms of what career paths they choose and what salaries they eventually earn.
The popular media can also have a profound influence upon gender perceptions. Children consume many hours of television per day, often at ages before they can exercise their critical faculties to evaluate the accuracy and
While, many of the adults are continuing to cling to the ideas of the past and they are attempting to impose them upon their children. The information from the source that was written by Sherrod, is illustrating the differences in opinions between the various generations. As, the younger generation is more open minded and will look beyond the typical stereotypes. This is significant, because one could argue that the conflict that occurred from Paulus and Thebedi are larger issues surrounding the differences in opinions about the overall role that race is playing within society itself.
Moreover, the woman is Walker's story is an illustration of how racism is used as a tool to be able to maintain the status quo within society. Evidence of this can be seen with observations from Chin (2004), who found that racism is used as a tool to deny particular groups of people access to…...

Extended families and the support they provide is essential to the continuation of African-American culture, customs, and heritage, and the mothers, grandmothers, aunts, and nieces of the family, (as the previous article indicated) are often the messengers of these elements of their family's history and preparation for the future.
While many Black parents discuss race with their children, and believe that is an important life lesson for the future, many families do not, as they feel their children will learn this hard lesson on their own, and do not need to make their children feel inferior or lesser than their White counterparts. Others believe if their children do not know about the concept of race and racial inequity, it will not harm them in the future.
Of course, these are all personal parenting choices, and they indicate, that just as in any ethnic group, there are differences in how parents choose…...

Socialization Typical socialization agents that most people are exposed to from a young age include family—mother, father, brothers or sisters, grandparents, cousins, uncles, aunts and so on—then there are neighbors, teachers, peers at school. Other socialization agents include people at church, people on the TV that the children watch—even if they are cartoon characters, they still represent a socialization agent in a way. Over time these socialization agents will change. The individual will stop relying so much on family and start focusing more on technology or mass media or peers or school or religion for socialization. Family is probably the most important agent of socialization in the younger stages of development, but once the individual begins to have a sense of independence, that socialization process kicks over into a different direction and the individual wants to be more accepted in other groups than just one’s family. So a church group or…...
They will be trained in what the employee needs to know right away. So whether this is certain functional skills or for a low-level retail job it is more likely to learn about the organizational culture, that manager will be able to convey only the needed information during this initial encounter phase.
An important component during the encounter phase is to have a series of seminars over the first few weeks -- perhaps with multiple new employees -- where the employees can receive supplemental training that reinforces what they are learning from their supervisors and from the first trainer. It is also important to have a mentor at this stage. I find that the mentor can be somebody who is in the same position, but who has been around a while and is a good representative.

Components of Socialization
Bronfenbrenner's ecological theory consists of five components of socialization. They are the microsystem, mesosystem, exosystem, macrosystem and chronosystem. This creative effort attempts to demonstrate each of these components and there effects on an individual in the context of a divorce from the perspective of a child.
Divorce and Collateral Damage
Penny curled up in a ball under the blankets as the angry voices of her parents slipped under the door to her bedroom and attacked her pretty pink ears.
"You're drunk!"
"You're a whore!"
She closed her eyes and covered her ears. The war had been building for as long as the nine-year-old could remember. She suddenly jumped from her bed and ran sobbing into the living room of their middle class suburban home. "Stop!" she sobbed. "Just stop, stop, stop, stop, stop!"
"Screw it," said her father and he walked out the door for the last time.

mlaRegardless of this her parents were shocked and disappointed when she became pregnant in 1966. They assigned blame on each other, the degenerate music, the hippy culture, and a general lack of morals in our society. Neither one blamed them self. Penny dropped out of high school and went to live with her aunt in a neighboring state. When the child was born she signed some papers and gave it up for adoption.
In the years to come Penny then went through a string of boyfriends; however she never was able to establish a lasting relationship with any of them. This pattern continued through two marriages and five more pregnancies (two abortions, one miscarriage, and two live births) by four different men. They say you never really grow up until you learn to forgive your parents. Penny did this when she was 35.
However by then her own children were young teenagers and quite used to parenting themselves…..
Family, Mass Media and Education as Socialization Factors
A growing body of evidence confirms that agents of socialization play crucial roles in the social development of an individual. Certain agents are identified as being more influential than others, with these agents being responsible for causing the most influence in our lives and playing a major role in the altering of our self-images over the course of our lives. Some of these agents include family (especially parents), schools and peers, work environment, gender and the mass media, among others. The development of a social life and the social relationships of an individual are inextricably related to the influence from these respective agents and how they are manifest in people's day-to-day lives (Henslin, 2013). There are several agents of socialization that have most significantly affected my life, including most especially family, mass media and education. These socialization agents were selected based on…...

In our opinion, at this time the most pressing challenge faced by school leaders is safely continuing with student education while also managing the risk of disease posed to people by the current COVID-19 pandemic. Many school districts immediately scrambled to get technology into place to support distance-learning, but quickly found that while the technology is important for delivery of classroom materials, the technology is only a tool in the hands of educators. Educators need to be able to teach using the technology, and, if they are unable to do so, they put their students at a disadvantage.
Moving forward,....
Distance learning is a great topic for a research paper. Many schools have been moving towards a distance-learning model or at least incorporating distance-learning in their teaching programs. Of course, in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting need for many in-person schools to quickly transition to an online model, distance learning has become even more important.
