Answer to Question 1

Racial socialization is the aspect of socialization that contains specific messages and practices concerning the nature of one's racial or ethnic status as it relates to our identity, interpersonal relationships, and location in the social hierarchy. Racial socialization includes direct statements regarding race, modeling behavior, and indirect activities such as exposure to an environment that conveys a specific message about a racial or ethnic group. The most important aspects of racial identity and attitudes toward other racialethnic groups are passed down in families from generation to generation. Some minority parents feel that racial socialization is essential because it provides children with the skills and abilities they will need to survive in the larger society.
