1) Define & describe the Cycle of Socialization (C.O.S), & the Cycle of Liberation (C.O.L). Explain how they relate to how Hip Hop has been shaped, giving two examples from either reading and/or in class. - The Cycle of Socialization is the cycle in which shapes who we are mentally, morally, and characteristically. The first step in the COS, is the Lens of Identity. This is where the person is socialized through their own personal lens, or they are taught on a personal level. Examples of this is one’s peers, teachers, or family. There is usually unquestionable trust in these people. The second step is Institution & Culture, where we are bombarded with subliminal messages by these two factors each day. Institution, would be things such as School, a Business, or the Media (one of the largest in the institution factor). Culture, would be things like what we have done in class, such as studying lyrics, language, & patterns of conscious and unconscious though. The last step, is the Lens of Experience. This is one of the most important, because we have now become experienced in life, and know many things that many may not ever know. With this though, we have two choices of what we can do. The first choice, is to do nothing; we can remain stagnant, and ‘go a long to get along’ because that is the easier way to do things. Or, we can cause change, raise consciousness, and interrupt the stagnant problem & help with fixing it. When we do this though, it leads into the next cycle,
Mass media influences me greatly in terms of the way I dress, look, feel, and approach the media itself. Often times I look to media in order to gain the latest tips and trends on today’s fashion and beauty, simply to be up to par with the many celebrities who always seem to look picture perfect. It seems as a teenage girl some part of my life revolve around this aspiration to be as beautiful as the girls in magazines, television, and the movies. As a result, I tend to want to wear makeup while continuously buying new clothes to strive for this ideal. Seeing as this is so unattainable, I often find myself feeling insecure about my face, body, and myself in general. Furthermore, the internet seems to
Socialization is an ongoing process in which individuals obtains a personal identity, learns norms, values and behaviour appropriate to his/her position. People constantly require approval of the things they do, they continually seek to be socially competent and to be accepted by those around them. It is human nature to want to be similar from others in order to be accepted in a certain social spheres but at the same time wanting to be different and unique. There are primary and secondary agents of socialization. The primary agents are those that are basic and fundamental to social beings, these include family and friends from which we learn behaviour at young age; they transmit norms and values to us. The secondary agents are those that are more external to us than family such as social institutions/organisations, these include schools,
Gender is a concept constructed entirely by society. We base gender off of what we perceive and what others perceive of us. Until fairly recently, it has been categorized as one of two things: male or female. When we watched the documentary in class, we saw evidence of society 's socialization of young children. Commercials for Nerf Guns, action figures, and cars and trucks were all depicted with young boys as their users. Never did we see a girl playing with GI Joes or with Hot Wheels, only boys played with those. Meanwhile, dolls, baking sets, and make up kits were only advertised to girls, and no boys were shown playing with Barbies or Bratz. Society begins to shape gender notions from a very early age, where people are shown that they are one or the other, either male or female.
Reciprocal socialization is the process by which children and adolescents socialize parents, just as parents socialize them (pg. 260). One example the book given is if the parent is hostile, hostile parenting is associated with negative outcomes for adolescents such as being defiant. I think another example is a client that was mentioned in class she felt as if her existence was the cause of someone’s misery. If her mother never praises her, or tells her that she makes her life miserable, or that life would be easier if she was not born the client responds negatively and cuts herself and feels like a burden.
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. This is emphasized by Parsons and Bales (1955), ‘socialisation, undertaken in the family and elsewhere, involves both integration into society and the differentiation of one individual
1) What is the belief/feeling you are exploring? Is it about your own group or another group? • The belief of exploration is that “Americans don’t understand what its like being an immigrant” living in the United States of America. Over the years, a transparent glass has stood as a barrier between the two groups of people.
The tribulations that Rudy faced were quite different than Malala’s and Siddhartha’s battles. Rudy had to prove his worth to his community, his family and to himself. He dreamed of playing football for Notre Dame ever since he was little. Rudy was socialized by his family, and teachers when he was told he did not fit the criteria to play for such a top tier school. The cycle of socialized is equipped with stereotypes, and prejudgment. None of Rudy’s family members took him seriously because his goal seemed so unattainable. Rudy was left to do it all on his own. After multiple of rejection letters from Notre Dame, Rudy was finally admitted into the school. The cycle of liberation did not really begin for Rudy with becoming aware of something
This may translate that individual who are bullies learn about this particle behaviour trough socialization process or as a result of continuous interaction with other people. Socialization is understood as the process through which the society passes its values from one generation to the other and takes place through socially set situations such as the family, culture, religious institution and learning institutions. These institutions therefore in one way or the other have the ability to determine whether a child is likely to be a bully in life or
The cycle of socialization is a process through which social identities are created, and in effect, each individual represents and is affected by their social identity. According to the cycle of socialization, the first stop in the socialization process is outside of one’s control—one is socialized even before they are born. Our social identities are predetermined, and we are born in a world with roles, rules, and assumptions already in place. Our family and role models teach these rules and roles to us, for they are the shapers of expectations, values, and norms. The first step in the cycle of socialization is directly related to mental models. In the beginning of the socialization process, we are taught certain rules and roles to
While studying Social Justice more deeply, I have noticed a significantly larger amount of situations of oppression and privilege throughout our society. I enjoy studying Social Justice again because it allows me to have an even better, deeper comprehension of the inequalities around us in our everyday lives. Reading “The Cycle of Socialization” has helped me to understand how and why people are the way they are. We are predisposed to certain societal roles in either the dominant or subordinate group. We then conform to those roles in order to fit into that classified group. Our identity is developed through a cycle referred to as “The Cycle of Socialization” In the process of reading and analyzing Bobbie Harro’s “The Cycle of Socialization”
Ensuring young females can have the same access to activities in the club depends on there being a female worker , in the past there have been a number of instances where we have been unable to offer a
When the child is at the ages of seven to eight years of age this is where they are expected to be socially developed. They should be able to wash themselves, dress themselves, independently go to the toilet and should also be able to make informed choices on who their friendship with and should have already bonded with their friends. As a child grows they develop and understanding for the world around them. They understand how to socialise effectively with the people around them. They also understand the emotional wellbeing of others and are aware of it and due to this it enables them to create and also hold a rapport with other individuals.
When I was going through the reading and exercise, I kept thinking about to the cycle of socialization. Justin and Clark realistically have zero control during the beginning, first socialization, in addition to institutional and culture socialization phases. The two boys have to do the best that they can with what they were dealt with. During the exercise I was able to make my assumptions that Clark would have more opportunities and less social challenges. I also learned from the other readings that if these two boys were white, they would have certain privileges grated to them regardless of their economic positioning. Deborah expressed that even though she had to grow up as a child on welfare, had parents with psychiatric illnesses and had
This was a very interesting reading about the cycles of socialization. This was something very new to me because, this was a new topic introduced to me. The event that will be used in this exercise is my arrival in my foster home. I felt lost and confused during this time in my life, because I was coming to a new place. The beginning for me was being around a large network of family members.
Agents of socialization in short are the people, groups, and social institutions, as well as the interactions within these groups that influence a person’s social and self-development. Agents of socialization are believed to provide the critical information needed for children to function successfully as a member of society. Some examples of such agents are family, neighborhood, schools, peers, religion, sports, the workplace, and especially the mass media. Each agent of socialization is linked to another. For example, in the media, symbolic images affect both the individual and the society, making the mass media the most controversial socialization agent. One of the most obvious places agents of socialization lay is in the malls of
