Socialization And Socialization

    People do not realize the immense impact social media has on their lives.  Social media first impacted people’s lives with the invention of the telephone in 1890.  Following this, the radio entered many homes in 1891; this was the beginning of social media.  During the twentieth century, computers and the Internet began the modern rise of today’s social media. UseNet, in 1979 was a virtual newsletter, which began what people think today of as modern social media.  When home computers became popular during the 1980s, such sites as relay chats took off.  Then, in 1997, the first true social media site , Six Degrees, came about: “It enabled users to upload a profile and make friends with other users. In 1999, the first blogging sites became popular, creating a social media sensation that’s still popular today” ( “Complete History of Social Media: Than and Now”).

Socialisation, according to the Collins dictionary of sociological terms, ‘ is a process of learning how to behave according to the expected norms of your culture’, it includes how one learns to live in the way that others expect of them, and helps social interaction by means of give and take of common values, customs, traditions and languages. This is an ongoing process which not only leads to the all round development of an individual, but also cultivates within a person a sense of belonging with regards to family, friends, people and society as a whole.

Due to the rise of social media, people have become more aware of social issues and have become aware of the world around them. They can easily read the news online or catch up on the latest celebrity drama. Social media improves the way humans communicate because it allows ideas to be spread quickly and efficiently to a global audience.

Social Media is an important communication tool via a series of Websites and Applications used by millions of people which facilitates the creation and the sharing of content and information, which allows people to develop contacts and relationships to connect with each other efficiently through modern technology such as computers and mobile phones to fulfil people’s social needs.

The social media is one of the most common ways of communication and pretty much of knowing anything and everything around the world these days, and it is growing very rapidly. It changes and affects each person in a different way, or ways. Some may argue that social media has a bad influence on children and young adults, and that it negatively effects their brains, character, or personalities, while most people see that the social media has a more positive effect on them than a negative one. Moreover, social media has helped many people around the world to connect, or re-connect, with each other, easily.

Socialization is “the process whereby an individual acquires a personal identity and learns the norms, values, behavior and social skills that are essential appropriate to his or her social environment.” Socialization applies to our daily life and it’s the most important process of human society. Without socialization the human would not be able to take part in group life and develop human characteristics. The world wouldn’t never be organized and everyone would have their own ways of doing thing. The general rules that we follow every day tells us what we should and shouldn’t do and how we should interact in situations. There are always consequences if we violate the rules and everyone recognizes the rules. Individual personality is really important in socialization. As a child, we start to learn and imitate others behavior, and as we get older, we start to understand the social life and accustom to the environment we live in, which can have effects on our personality. Personality refers to the patterns of feeling, thought, and action that characterizes human beings. The experiences we go through in life can change our personality too. Socialization essentially represents the process of learning throughout the life course. The important theories of socialization are defined by Charles Horton Cooley, George Herbert Mead, Erving Goffman, Sigmund Freud and Judith R. Harris. Charles Cooley, George Mead and Erving Goffman mention the importance of the social side of

Everyone in the world sees and has different opinions on an issue. Due to this people choose a party to express their beliefs and what should be done even if it doesn't cover all their believes. But even people can change their party and believes overtime due to socialization. Which is affected by virtually anyone like family, friends, political actors, and even policies the government establishes.

The United States is a built on a social structure that categorizes people based on their status of wealth, power and prestige (Sigel, 2017, pp. 191). Everyone has a goal in life, some may be different from others, but overall, what we all strive for is health, wealth, and success. As quoted by James Truslow Adams, the American Dream refers to “That dream of a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for every man, with opportunity for each according to his ability or achievement”. While there are many people who are successfully living the American Dream, many Americans are not receiving to same ability to be successful. Children growing up in poverty and minorities are not given the same opportunities as those who grew up in middle and upper class families and neighborhoods.

The label, “Social Media”, is due to its ability to encourage people to be more social and communicative through the internet. Yet, it is now known that the name might not live up to its expectation. With less face-to-face interaction, relationships and communication skills are being sacrificed. Although one may have one thousand

Some of the top benefits of social media over the years are that it is free to anyone, the content can get out to resources virtually immediately, and it can be delivered to a wide variety of people. For these reasons, communication through social media has become an extremely accessible and convenient way to communicate. It is also popular for those who need to be in contact with others.

Another example is a person who is shy and has a hard time making friends face-to-face, social media sites are a great way to meet people and build relationships.

The culture in which I have been/am socialized with have a maximal impact on my values, beliefs, and behaviors. Developing an understanding for other types of ethnicities or cultural values enable me to provide sensitive and effective interactions with others. I am not like everyone else and that is not a bad thing, and understanding that helps me keep an open mind about a lot of issues. I am seventeen years old and a senior in high school. I belong in the hispanic ethnic group. My parents are both Mexican, and so is the rest of my family (cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents). We have always practiced our culture and kept our traditions alive. My entire family is catholic; we try go to church every Sunday. The socioeconomic class in which my family is currently in, is the middle class. Another community in which I am associated with is Cheer. Cheer gave me the ability to meet a lot of awesome girls, and allowed me to get them know them better and in a way other non-cheerleaders would not.

Socialization is the lifelong process in which people learn the attitudes, values, and behaviors appropriate for members of a particular culture. We often go into a place and we can tend to judge people. By the language or color or what they wear. It happens all the time. This is just a natural habit for most human beings. I have even walked into walmart before thinking to myself “ I do not belong here. I do not speak the language that all these other people are speaking. I am only in Warwick right?”
