Answer to Question 1

Socialization is the process through which we are taught and trained to behave in society or in particular social settings. It is how we come to understand the expectations and norms of our groups. Throughout our lives, we are constantly being socialized to behave in certain ways (or to not behave in others). The process begins in families, where parents attempt to teach their children a wide range of different rules and norms. But socialization continues at every stage of the life course and involves learning from many different people: in schools from our classmates and teachers; in workplaces from our colleagues and bosses; in churches from priests, rabbis, imams, and our fellow congregants; in political, cultural, and civic organizations, where we are socialized by an array of people ranging from a camp counselor to a piano teacher; and even through the mass media, where we learn about behavior by watching television shows.
