SOCIALIZATION
Socialization is how we learn the norms and beliefs of our society.
From our earliest family and play experiences, we are made aware
of societal values and expectations
The Process
of SOCIALIZATION
(Life Course)
CHILDHOOD
from birth to twelve years old
is grounded not in biology but in culture. In high-income
countries, childhood is extended.
ADOLESCENCE
emerged as a buffer between childhood and adulthood,
ages 13-17
we link teenage years with emotional and social turmoil as
young people struggle to develop their own identities.
emotional and social turmoil results from cultural
inconsistency in defining people who are not children but not
yet adults
ADULTHOOD
is the time when most of lifes accomplishments take place,
including pursuing a career and raising a family
personality is formed, it continues to change with new life
experiences
there are two stages: (1) Early and (2) Middle stages
EARLY ADULTHOOD
ages 20-40 years old
young adults learn to manage day-to-day affairs for themselves,
often juggling conflicting priorities: schooling, job, partner, children
and parents.
during this stage, many women try to "do it all" - a pattern that
reflects the fact that our culture gives them the major responsibilty
for child rearing and housework even if they have demanding jobs
outside the home.
MIDDLE ADULTHOOD
roughly forty to sixty-five years old.
people sense that their life circumstances are pretty well
set.
they also become more aware of the fragility of health,
which the young typically take for granted.
OLD AGE
the later years of adulthood and the final stage of life - sixtyfive years old and above
differs in an important way from earlier stages in the life
course
is the stage wherein people leave roles that provided both
satisfaction and social identity.
TOTAL INSTITUTIONS
is a setting in which people are isolated from the rest of
society and controlled by administrative staff
include prisons, mental hospitals, and monasteries.
RESOCIALIZATION
breaking down inmates' existing identity
building a new self through a system of rewards and
punishments

SOCIALIZATION
* GENDER SOCIALIZATION
- is learning societys gender map, the paths in life set out for us

different traits that are expected in males or females
