Agents of Socialization FAMILY –HAS THE GREATEST IMPACT ON SOCIALIZATION –THE FIRST TO TEACH SKILLS, VALUES, & BELIEFS –EVEN TEENS CONTINUE TO PLACE THEIR GREATEST TRUST IN THEIR PARENTS

What a difference a year makes!

THE FAMILY RESEARCH SUGGESTS THAT NOTHING IS MORE LIKELY TO PRODUCE A HAPPY, WELL-ADJUSTED CHILD THAN BEING IN A LOVING FAMILY. RESEARCH ALSO SHOWS THAT THE CLASS POSITION OF PARENTS AFFECTS HOW THEY RAISE THEIR CHILDREN.

LET’S EXPLAIN… CLASS POSITION SHAPES NOT ONLY HOW MUCH MONEY PARENTS HAVE TO SPEND BUT ALSO WHAT THEY EXPECT FROM THEIR CHILDREN. –PEOPLE OF LOWER SOCIAL STANDING USUALLY HAVE LIMITED EDUCATION & PERFORM ROUTINE JOBS UNDER CLOSE SUPERVISION. –THEY EXPECT THE SAME FOR THEIR KIDS.

ON THE OTHER HAND… WELL-OFF PARENTS, WITH MORE SCHOOLING, USUALLY HAVE JOBS THAT DEMAND IMAGINATION AND PROVIDE FOR MORE PERSONAL FREEDOM. –THEREFORE, THESE PARENTS TRY TO INSPIRE THE SAME QUALITIES IN THEIR CHILDREN.

THE SCHOOL SCHOOLING ENLARGES CHILDREN’S SOCIAL WORLDS TO INCLUDE PEOPLE WITH BACKGROUNDS VERY DIFFERENT FROM THEIR OWN.

SCHOOLS TEACH A WIDE RANGE OF KNOWLEDGE & SKILLS… “THE HIDDEN CURRICULUM” HONORING COMPETITION, ACADEMIC SUCCESS, SOCIETAL VALUES, ETC.

SCHOOLS ARE MOST CHILDREN’S FIRST EXPERIENCE WITH BUREAUCRACY –RUNS ON IMPERSONAL RULES –A STRICT TIME SCHEDULE –“JUST A NUMBER” EX. JULIA = #17 –THESE BEING THE HALLMARKS OF MANY ORGANIZATIONS THAT WILL EMPLOY THEM LATER IN LIFE.

PEER GROUPS BY THE TIME THEY ENTER SCHOOL, KIDS HAVE DISCOVERED THE PEER GROUP: A SOCIAL GROUP WHOSE MEMBERS HAVE INTERESTS, SOCIAL POSITION, AND AGE IN COMMON.

PEER GROUPS UNLIKE FAMILY & SCHOOL, THE PEER GROUP LETS CHILDREN ESCAPE THE DIRECT SUPERVISION OF ADULTS. OFFERS THE OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS INTERESTS AND TOPICS NOT DONE WITH ADULTS

*NOTE!!!!!!!!!!!! PEERS MAY AFFECT SHORT-TERM INTERESTS SUCH AS MUSIC BUT PARENTS RETAIN GREATER SWAY OVER LONG-TERM GOALS SUCH AS GOING TO COLLEGE…

PEER GROUPS FINALLY, ANY NEIGHBORHOOD OR SCHOOL IS A MOSAIC OF MANY PEER GROUPS. PEOPLE ARE INFLUENCED BY PEER GROUPS THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO JOIN, A PROCESS CALLED ANTICIPATORY SOCIALIZATION.

ANTICIPATORY SOCIALIZATION LEARNING THAT HELPS A PERSON ACHIEVE A DESIRED POSITION –SCHOOL DRESS –PROFESSIONAL – YOUNG ATTORNEY HOPING TO JOIN THE FIRM – “SAME LOOK” – SAME HANG-OUTS, ETC.

MASS MEDIA IMPERSONAL COMMUNICATIONS AIMED AT A VAST AUDIENCE SPREAD INFORMATION ON A VAST SCALE NEWSPAPERS = > RADIO => TV IN THE U.S., IT HAS AN ENORMOUS EFFECT ON OUR ATTITUDES AND BEHAVIOR. –HIGHEST RATE OF TV OWNERSHIP IN THE WORLD –THE AVG. HOUSEHOLD HAS THE TV ON FOR 7 HRS. A DAY –PEOPLE SPEND ALMOST ½ OF THEIR FREE TIME WATCHING

HOW ABOUT YOU? HOW MANY HOURS A DAY DO YOU SPEND WATCHING TV?

TV STUDY FOUND THAT THOSE AGES 2 – 18, AVERAGE 5 ½ HOURS PER DAY “CONSUMING MEDIA.” –INCLUDES ALMOST THREE HOURS A DAY WATHCING TV –WITH THE REST DIVIDED BETWEEN WATCHING VIDEOS, PLAYING VIDEO GAMES, ETC.

THINK ABOUT IT! CHILDREN GROW UP SPENDING AS MANY HOURS IN FRONT OF A TV AS THEY DO IN SCHOOL OR INTERACTING WITH THEIR PARENTS!!

WHAT DO YOU THINK? IN 1997, THE TELEVISION INDUSTRY ADOPTED A RATING SYSTEM FOR SHOWS. –WAS THAT A GOOD IDEA? –IS IT EFFECTIVE? –DO YOU PAY ATTENTION TO / ABIDE BY THE RATINGS? WHY / WHY NOT? IS TV HAZARDOUS TO AMERICANS’ WELL- BEING…. WELL???
