 Socialization encompasses various elements that contribute to the process of preparing individuals to function in society.
Goals of Socialization: Arnett outlines three main goals of socialization: impulse control and conscience development, role preparation and performance, and cultivation of sources of meaning. Socialization is culturally relative and differs across cultures and social groups.
Primary and Secondary Socialization: Socialization occurs throughout life, with primary socialization occurring early in childhood and secondary socialization continuing as individuals encounter new social groups and roles.
Broad and Narrow Socialization: Arnett distinguishes between broad socialization, promoting independence and self-expression, and narrow socialization, emphasizing obedience and conformity. Socialization can vary in its outcomes and approaches within different social contexts.
Total Institutions: Total institutions like prisons and mental health facilities aim to resocialize individuals who were not successfully socialized previously. These institutions employ various methods, including the "mortification of the self," to reshape individuals' behavior and identity.
Importance of Socialization: Feral children, who lack socialization, demonstrate the critical role of socialization in human development. Socialization research explores various aspects, including gender socialization, social class influences, and preparation for death.
Theoretical Understandings: Different theoretical approaches, such as Symbolic Interactionism, Role Theory, Reinforcement Theory, and Internalization Theory, offer insights into the process and outcomes of socialization.
Socialization as Joining Groups: Long and Hadden propose a revised understanding of socialization, framing it as the process of transforming newcomers into group members. Socialization occurs through interactions with certified members of the group.
Research Examples: Studies explore the effects of socialization on topics such as social class, death preparation, and educational tracks, demonstrating how socialization shapes individuals' attitudes, behaviors, and outcomes
interesting points
The idea of total institutions, such as prisons and mental health facilities, offers insight into the extreme measures taken to resocialize individuals who were not successfully socialized previously. The concept sheds light on the institutional mechanisms used to shape behavior and identity.
discussion points
The text emphasizes that socialization is culturally relative, varying across different cultures and social groups. How does cultural diversity shape socialization practices and outcomes? What implications does this have for understanding cultural norms and values?

 1. Summary Arnett described the goal of socialization as follows. 1. Impulse control and development of conscience. 2. Preparing and performing roles, including professional roles, gender roles, and roles in institutions such as marriage and parental roles. 3. The source of meaning, the cultivation of what is important, valuable, and to live. Socialization is the process of preparing humans to function in social life. Socialization is relative to culture and does not force evaluation judgments. Since socialization is the adoption of culture, it differs from culture to culture and from subculture to culture. It should be noted that socialization is a key sociological process in the development of individuals who can function in human society, but not all aspects of human behavior are learned. Socialization is generally divided into two parts. Primary socialization occurs early in life in childhood and adolescence. Secondary socialization refers to socialization that occurs througho...

Introduction to the blog

This blog is a digital forum where students from Spring 2024 class in Invitation to Sociology at the Hanyang University in Korea will discuss their weekly readings and activities. Each week you are expected to post a blog post on at least 3 pages worth of the readings assigned for next week on our blog (here)  and make a comment on another student's post. As you are expected to do the assigned readings FOR the lectures they are assigned to, you are expected to post your blog and comments BEFORE that lecture. Deadline: Saturday midnight, for main blog posts and Sunday, midnight for comments. Exception: blog posts for the first week can be posted during the first week of class as if they were for the second week. An ideal commentary should be about a third of a page in length (~200 words), divided into three clearly labeled sections in which you: 1) summarize in your own words of materials you read; 2) mention any new, interesting, or unusual items learned; 3) identify at l...

W12.1 Blog for reading materials

1.Summary Goffman's dramaturgical theory has been applied to various social phenomena, including social movements, online identity construction, and theatrical performances. 2.Discussion The pursuit of essence is human beings' superficial understanding of things, and the pursuit of differences is human beings' deep understanding of things. Essence can be applied and labeled. It is a superficial understanding of things and is the process of people's understanding of the world. Lazy means. It is believed that as long as you master the essence of things, you have mastered everything about them, that is, you can transform cognition into action. Therefore, I believe that constructing essence is the first step to understand things, and constructing differences is the most important thing to understand things. People should construct their understanding of differences by constructing essence. Whether it is playing games, reading novels, getting drunk, or skydiving, all kinds o...
