Functions of Socialization
Agents of Socialization
1. The Family
2. Peer Groups
3. Media
4. School
5. Workplace
The Family
The family- In the first few years of the child’s life, the parents serve as
the mirror in which the child begin to see his self and the sources of
ideas about what is important and what is not. It is from parents and
family that children first learn values and behaviors. Moreover, the
family reflects the attitudes, values, and customs of the social class,
religion. Ethnic group and region of which it is a part.
The Peer Group
Peer Groups-Peer groups refers to groups whose members are more or
less of the same age, sex, and rank. According to K. Davis(1949), peers
stand in the same relation to persons in authority and therefore "see the
world through the same eyes”
The Media
• Television being part of media has become a major agent of
socialization
• It has been observed that children tend to spend more time
watching television rather than schooling or family matter
The Workplace
• On the Job Training (OJT) – informal socialization through their
organization’s values and outlook
• Resocialization - mostly seen on the field of medicine, law,
military and police
• Desocialization – training programs to strip away the self-images
and perspectives that are the results of previous socialization
Charles Horton Cooley (1964) calls the social self the “looking glass
self”. This is the conception of the self or the ability to visualize oneself
through the response of others. We acquire our sense of self by seeing
ourselves reflected in others’ behavior and attitude toward us and by
imagining what others think about us. The looking glass self involves
three processes: presentation, identification, and subjective
interpretation. We start by ‘imagining’ the way we appear to others,
and then we ‘identify’ with how we imagine others judge that
appearance, and finally we ‘interpret’ those judgments for our own self-
image. For instance, before we buy a polo shirt, we first imagine how
others will evaluate our appearance when we are wearing that shirt.
This theory views the inherited biological structures as the main factor
that determines human behavior. The genetic endowments provide
the foundations that determine the type and quality of personality that
will be formed through social interaction. Superior physical and mental
endowments are likely to produce individuals with better physical
attributes and above-average mental abilities. Great leaders of men and
nations, men and women who guide the destinies of human history,
people who have contributed outstanding works for the betterment of
mankind like scientists, investors, philosophers, social and political
thinkers, saints, heroes and martyrs are men and women endowed with
better genetic potentials.
Labeling Theory
Sex Defined:
Refers to the general classification of human beings as males and
females on the differences of their primary sex organs and their
anatomical and biological characteristics
Gender Defined:
Connotes the physical, Social, and Cultural differences between
males and females
Refers to the differences of Men and Women based on how they
are molded and conditioned by the society and culture.
Result of Socialization
Gender Training
Gender training or socialization for sex roles begins at birth. It starts
in the family and reinforced by the schools by the media, and by other
social settings. The traditional role of bearing children and
housekeeping is assigned to females, while the role of being
productive and providing for the needs of the group is assigned to
male.
