Purpose: The purpose of this discussion forum is to gain understanding of socialization and agents of socialization. Also, to gain understanding of how agents of socialization may impact your social behavior.Socialization is how we are taught to think, behave or act in society. In other words, this is a learned behavior NOT a genetic predisposition. Agents of socialization is any source that is trying to shape us/you socially. This may consist of friends, neighbors, family, co-workers, or even mass media may consist of an agent of socialization. Instructions: Answer/discuss either question. Go ahead and do both if you want. Please follow the rubric to help guide your answers. (Make sure you follow the rubric for each week, because it does fluctuate, meaning, sometimes I want you to answer all questions and sometimes I allow you to choose what you want to discuss with each other)1) Do you think anything learned can be unlearned? This is a huge social debate. Internalization needs to be mentioned now. Internalization, in a nutshell, is when people learn something at such an early age that they are NOT even aware it was something that had to be taught to them. Think about this for example, is a boy/male born knowing that it is more socially acceptable for him to wear a blue shirt versus a pink shirt? Or, did he learn this social standard of dress at such an early age that he does NOT remember it being socialized to him, therefore he is programmed so to speak to dress that way? Discuss this topic using any example you see fit, you dont have to use gender, that was simply my example. 2) Discuss why you think NOT all yo
ur agents of socialization have the same impact on you potentially. That is, why do you think you listen to one agent of socialization over another? Can this be problematic? Why or why not?Please follow rubric CriteriaRatingsPtsThis criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeDemonstrates knowledge & understanding of content3 ptsExcellent (posts were well developed & questions addressed)2 ptsSatisfactory (Posts were developed & questions addressed)1 ptsUnsatisfactory (Posts were made but did not address question asked)0 ptsDid not post (No posts.
