 1. Summary : Socialization is the process of adapting an individual as a member of society and learning social behavior. The goal of socialization can be explained by dividing it into impulse control and the development of conscience, role preparation and performance, and cultivation of values and meanings. Primary socialization can be classified as secondary socialization. In addition, it is classified into widespread inquiry and narrow socialization. Socialization is also important in adolescence and adulthood, along with the socialization of childhood related to biological drives. 2. Interesting or unusual things: It was interesting to see how Marshall interviewed the residents of the nursing home to investigate how their environment affected the idea of death. I had never thought deeply about death, but it was amazing that discussions about death occur naturally in nursing homes. I found that nursing homes contribute to socializing in a positive way that accepts death by providing

 Essentials By understanding the cases of isolated society for children in California and Ukraine, I learned the importance of socialization. Socialization is a social process that involves the interaction between people. The research object of sociology is human society, including social organization, social structure, social system, social change and other aspects. The research covers all aspects of social life, such as family, education, politics, economy, culture, religion, crime, etc. In a broad sense, socialization refers to the process of individuals accepting and internalizing social culture, values, codes of conduct, etc. in society. This process involves individuals gradually learning and accepting various cultures, values and behaviors in society through social interaction and social experience in the process of growth and development, so as to become a socialized member. This socialization process is a long-term, gradual and ever-changing process that runs through the entir

1.Summary   Deviance is any behavior that violates cultural norms. Norms are social expectations that guide human behavior. Deviance is often divided into two types of deviant activities. Next, the importance of crime statistics in shedding light on social issues and policymaking was also presented. First, crime statistics are more than simple reports on incidents of criminal activity and reflect the complexity of society and the criminal justice system. They reveal the extent of criminal activity, but also point out the limitations of the statistics, as they only show crimes that have been reported to the authorities and do not cover the full range of criminal activity. The relationship between incarceration rates and the population was subsequently emphasized, in particular the characteristics of the prison system in the United States, including high rates of incarceration and high rates of recidivism. Reference was also made to innovative criminal justice policies, such as drug cour

 [summary] Socialization is a fundamental concept in sociology that involves the process through which individuals learn and adopt the norms, values, and behaviors necessary to function effectively within a society. This process is complex and multifaceted, involving various goals, stages, and contexts, as outlined by numerous scholars. These goals emphasize that socialization prepares individuals to participate effectively in social life. Importantly, socialization is culturally relative, varying across different cultures and subcultures without implying any inherent value judgment about which is better or worse. While socialization is key to developing social behaviors, not all human behaviors are learned. Some behaviors, such as empathy and certain moral responses, may have biological underpinnings. The interaction between biology and culture is complex, with each influencing the other, demonstrating that human behavior results from a combination of innate predispositions and learne

 1. summarize The "Socialization" page on Wikibooks discusses the profound importance of socialization in human development. It uses extreme cases like Genie and Oxana Malaya, who suffered from severe isolation, to illustrate the critical role of social interaction in psychological and social development. The chapter also explores different types of socialization (primary and secondary), the goals of socialization such as impulse control and role preparation, and various theoretical approaches to understanding socialization, including symbolic interactionism and role theory. Lastly, it discusses the process of resocialization in total institutions like prisons and psychiatric hospitals. 2. interesting points Reading about the impact of socialization in sociology, particularly through extreme cases of isolation, is quite thought-provoking. It underscores the critical role that social interaction plays in our psychological and social development. The cases of Genie and Oxana Ma

  Summary:  This material delves into the complexities of socialization theory and its broad applications across various fields. Socialization theory is defined as the process whereby individuals acquire, adapt to, and grow within societal norms and expectations. It encompasses several theoretical frameworks, including symbolic interactionism, role theory, reinforcement theory, and internalization theory, all emphasizing the continuous and multifaceted nature of socialization. Individuals navigate this process through interactions, role adoption, and cognitive evaluation. The theory's practical implications are illustrated through case studies in gender socialization, death preparation, and education. For instance, socialization theory highlights how social class influences parenting practices in gender socialization, facilitates understanding of nursing home residents' attitudes towards death, and explains the impact of educational tracking on student outcomes. These applicati

  Summary This Wikipedia article discusses sociology and socialization. Socialization simply means preparing humans to function in social life. Generally, it is divided into primary socialization and secondary socialization. Primary socialization refers to socialization that occurs early in life, and secondary socialization refers to socialization that occurs additionally throughout life. Socialization theories include symbolic interactionism, role theory, reinforcement theory, and internalization theory. Whether we are properly socialized affects how we perceive someone in society as “normal” or “abnormal.”   Interesting Things We learned that social class influences socialization. I find the worst part of socialization to be 'neglect', and it's interesting to note how, in the end, non-human animals are very little different from animals when fully raised.   Questions As I read this article, I was interested in an explanation of the role the family plays in the socializati

  Summary This Wikipedia article deals with government. Government is a system that governs an organized community, usually consisting of a legislative, executive, and judicial branch that determines and implements policy. Government is mainly used at the national level, but also applies to local governments along with auxiliary agencies. The main types of government include democracy, totalitarianism, and mixed government, and the origins and historical development of government are also covered.   Interesting Things We have been able to identify five basic types of government distinguished by Plato. Aristocracy, democracy, oligarchy, plutocracy, tyranny. It is interesting to note the etymology of the term government and its variations between different languages.   Questions What social and economic conditions had a decisive influence on the formation and development of early governments?

Summary This Wikipedia article introduces sociology and political science. Politics is the process by which people make social and economic decisions. These politics have been observed in all human group interactions. Political power refers to the authority of social groups to manage the distribution of public resources. Authority asserts the legal and legitimate right to exercise power and is divided into three types: legal authority, traditional authority, and charismatic authority. There are many different forms of government. There are monarchies, democracies, totalitarianism, oligarchies, communist states, and theocracies. Interesting Things We looked at the relationships between politics, gender, age, race, and class. Monarchy, democracy, and totalitarianism as we originally knew them. In addition to communist countries, we also learned about other types of government: oligarchy and theocracy. What is interesting is that in a theocracy, God is recognized as the supreme civil rule

  Summary This Wikipedia article deals with economic sociology. Economic sociology is a discipline that studies the social causes and consequences of various economic phenomena and can be broadly divided into classical and modern schools. Classical economic sociology emphasizes the interaction of social and economic structures and institutions. Modern economic sociology focuses on the social consequences and meaning of economic exchange. Socioeconomics is a field of social science that studies the interaction between economic activity and social processes. Factors such as deforestation, pollution, and natural disasters have negative impacts on communities and households and have global impacts. This is influenced by government policies and contextual factors, creating a domino effect on human interaction with the environment. Socioeconomics understands and analyzes the interaction between humans and nature as these interconnected systems.   Interesting Things It was interesting that ec

 1. Summary  Socialization is the process of learning how humans function in a particular society. It is culturally relative, and people from different cultures, races, classes, genders, religious and social positions socialize differently. Primary socialization occurs in childhood and adolescence, and secondary socialization occurs throughout life when new groups are met. In the primary and secondary socialization processes, it is influenced by various factors such as parents, guardians, friends, and schools. Theories such as symbolic interactionism, role theory, reinforcement theory, and internalization theory help us understand socialization. 2.

  1. Summary Socialization refers to the process through which we engage in social interaction and communication with others. It encompasses the skills and behavioral patterns necessary for us to form and maintain relationships with others. Socialization is a fundamental aspect of our human existence, playing a crucial role in our ability to integrate socially and develop as individuals within society. Socialization can take various forms. Firstly, language and verbal communication are essential aspects of socialization. Through language, we share thoughts, convey emotions, and exchange ideas, enabling mutual understanding and interaction. Secondly, cultural norms and customs are integral parts of socialization. We learn what behaviors are appropriate or inappropriate in our culture and society, and by adhering to these norms, we become socially accepted and capable of effective interaction. Thirdly, emotional intelligence and social intelligence play vital roles in socialization. The

  1. What I read today is an article on various types of socialization among sociology. Socialization is called socialization, which is the behavior that allows someone to adapt to a society. The types of socialization include primary and secondary socialization, widespread socialization, and narrow socialization. The criteria for dividing the primary and secondary socialization are divided according to the period of socialization. Primary socialization generally means socialization in the early stages of life, that is, as children and adolescents, and secondary socialization is socialization that occurs when another group is met. It can also be distinguished by scope. Extensive socialization is intended to promote independence and individualism, and narrow socialization is intended for obedience and conformity. Socialization can be understood in various theories. There are four main categories: symbolic interactionism, role theory, reinforcement theory, and internalization theory. Sym

1-SUMMARY) This chapter explores the concept and importance of socialization. Socialization is the process by which individuals learn the norms, values, behaviors, and social skills necessary to function in society. The chapter covers various aspects of socialization. Socialization integrates individuals into society, shapes their identity, and enables them to interact and communicate effectively with others. Socialization occurs throughout a person's life, from childhood to adulthood, and includes different stages. Examples include primary socialization (in childhood) and secondary socialization (in later life). The chapter examines theories from key sociologists such as George Herbert Mead, Charles Horton Cooley, and Sigmund Freud, exploring how individuals form their self-identity and learn societal norms. Resocialization is the process of unlearning old behaviors and learning new ones. It often occurs in environments such as prisons, military training, and rehabilitation center

  1. Summary    Deviance encompasses behaviors that violate cultural norms, which are social expectations guiding human conduct. It's categorized into two main types: formal deviance, which involves breaking formally enacted laws like robbery or murder, and informal deviance, which involves violating informal social norms such as nose-picking or loud belching. Cultural norms are relative, meaning what constitutes deviance can vary widely across different cultures. For example, speech restrictions at the Christ Desert Monastery contrast with the general freedom of speech norms in U.S. society, illustrating cultural variation in norms. Sociological interest in deviance includes measuring formal deviance through crime statistics, exploring how individuals and groups define deviance versus normative behavior, and developing theories to explain the role and origins of deviance in society. This chapter will delve into sociological theories of deviance and examine current crime statistics

  1. Summary Socialization is a lifelong process encompassing both primary and secondary phases. Primary socialization occurs in childhood and adolescence, focusing on core identity and values, while secondary socialization involves adapting to new roles and groups throughout life. Mortimer and Simmons highlight differences in content, context, and response between these phases. Total institutions like prisons aim to resocialize individuals who have not been successfully socialized, characterized by uniformity, strict scheduling, and hierarchical authority. Feral children, lacking socialization due to neglect, underscore the importance of socialization in human development. Theoretical perspectives on socialization include symbolic interactionism, role theory, reinforcement theory, and internalization theory. Recent research suggests children are predisposed to imitate adult behaviors, aiding cultural transmission. Socialization involves acquiring norms, values, and behaviors for group

 1. Summary It covers several dimensions, including the purpose of socialization, the primary and secondary stages, the forms in broad and narrow meanings, and the patterns that emerge in various institutions. Discussions about the importance of socialization help to emphasize the importance of socialization in human development, especially through cases of wild children. The theoretical understanding of socialization presents a variety of perspectives, including symbolic interactionism, role theory, reinforcement theory, and internalization theory, which provide a unique perspective to analyze the process by which individuals are integrated into society. Furthermore, various research cases, such as gender socialization, social class, death preparation, and the impact of high school tracks on IQ, provide valuable insights into how socialization works in different contexts. These examples illustrate the multifaceted nature of socialization and its impact on many aspects of human life. 2

 1. Summary Socialization is the process of preparing humans to function in society, which Arnett describes as three goals. It involves the development of impulse control and conscience, role preparation and performance, and the discovery and cultivation of meaning. Socialization is culturally relative, and takes place differently in different cultures and subcultures. In theory, socialization is divided into primary and secondary. Primary socialization occurs in childhood, and secondary socialization is the process of meeting additional social groups. Arnett distinguishes between broad socialization and narrow socialization, the former promoting independence and individualism, and the latter promoting obedience and conformity. Also, socialization can take place across an entire institution. An entire institution is a place that specializes in resocializing individuals, such as a psychiatric hospital or prison. These institutions often socialize individuals using normative pressure. Th

Summarize Across the broad fields of sociology and socialization, we delve into the complexities of human behavior, interaction, and change. From individuals to groups, from micro to macro, sociology reveals the diversity and dynamics of society. The socialization process is the key to understanding how individuals are shaped into members of society. suggestion Recent research raises an interesting point: the socialization process in the digital age is undergoing profound changes. How interaction in virtual space affects an individual's identity and social skills is a topic worthy of further exploration. question However, in research on digital socialization, we still lack a comprehensive analysis of its long-term impact. For example, could over-reliance on virtual social interactions lead to the degradation of real-life social skills? This is not only an issue that sociology needs to pay attention to, but also a topic that the education and psychology circles should jointly explor

    1.Summary This material discusses socialization theory and its application in various fields. Firstly, socialization theory is defined as the process by which individuals learn, adapt, and grow within society, involving various theoretical frameworks such as symbolic interactionism, role theory, reinforcement theory, and internalization theory. These theories emphasize that socialization is a continuous and complex process, wherein individuals adapt and develop through social interaction, role shaping, and cognitive assessment. Secondly, through a series of research cases, socialization theory is applied in gender socialization, death preparation, and education fields. For instance, in gender socialization, the influence of social class on parental nurturing practices highlights the importance of socialization theory in the family environment. In death preparation, socialization theory helps understand the attitudes of nursing home residents towards death. In the education field, t

Q1：How does media (TV, Internet) teach us how to act and where we fit in the society?  A1：The media, especially television and the Internet, play an important role in teaching us how to behave and adapt to society. They shape our values and norms of behavior by presenting desirable models of behavior, ethical standards and social expectations. For example, the study of media violence(Effects of violence in mass media) also means television violence. It refers to the violent content that appears in television programs, including action violence and verbal violence. Such content may negatively affect the psychological and socio-behavioral development of viewers, especially children and adolescents. Studies by psychologists have shown that prolonged viewing of television violence may lead to mood swings among viewers, affect their self-perception, self-esteem and trust, and may even increase their aggressiveness and irritability.However, the media is also one of the main ways for us to o

1. Summary Social structure encompasses Microsociology and Macrosociology. Microstructure involves basic social relations, while Macrostructure involves relations between objects with their own structure. Various social structures include relation, communication, and sociometric structures. Social rule system theory simplifies these structures into specific rule system arrangements for analysis. 2.Interesting Point The point is that social rule system theory simplifies and analyzes various social structures into a specific array of rules. This theory provides the conceptual tools needed for analysis, while aligning with other sociological approaches such as role theory, organizational sociology, institutional sociology, and network analysis. This can be interesting in that it presents a new perspective on social structure and development and helps with an in-depth understanding. 3. Question   Can social rule system theory explain how it simplifies and analyzes social structures?

1. Summary Socialism advocates for public or worker ownership of means of production, fair resource allocation, and compensation based on labor. It criticizes capitalism for wealth concentration, inequality, and inefficient resource use. Examples like the Soviet Union involved state ownership and centralized planning. Critics argue central planning can't match market efficiency. Some socialists propose market socialism with central planning setting prices. Western European socialist governments post-World War II implemented mixed economies, nationalizing key industries while maintaining a free market 2.Interesting Point In Western society, institutions adopt a mixed economy. This is a combination of the goals of socialism and the elements of capitalism, a way of nationalizing important industries and maintaining a market economy at the same time. This can be seen as an example of finding creative solutions in a dynamic and complex political and economic situation. This mixed econo
