Start to take the role as a student. In preoperational stage, I developed a language. I was about able to speak. At the age of 4, I went to preschool. I was expected to go to school on the weekdays, even though I did not want to. My first day of school was very challenging because I had to stay in a place without my parents around. Obviously I cried on the first day of school. The teacher had to drag me to the class. This is a major event for kids because they will have to face other kids at their ages. My socialization began here in the school. I was a quiet kid. I was even afraid to buy things with cashier. I didn’t have many friends. My social skills were not very good. Since I was born in a middle class, I have a cultural capital. I …show more content…
However, my mom and my dad didn’t really force me to do things. My grandfather taught mores to my brother and I to always respect the elders. Greeting them with “Wai” (Thai tradition) by press the palms together on the chest and slightly bow. This is a good thing to do when someone is older than you to show your respect. My brother and I have role strain as a student; in contrast, my mom has role conflict. She works in her office at her work place and also a house wife. She is also a care giver that maintains the household. Unlike the United States, in Thai schools, students have to follow the dress code. It is a folkway of social norms to remind all the students that they are there to study and to be respectful to the school. At these ages I learned to follow the rules and laws. The laws are social controls that use to keep group or society together. For instance, I chose to cross the bridge to the other side of the road instead of jaywalking. I knew there will be sanction if I break the laws. For a kid, I would get the consequences from both my parents and the law enforcement like verbal warning.
At the age of sixteen I moved to the United States. This is a formal operational stage. The culture of the United States is very different from where I live. When I first went in the American restaurant, I was being ethnocentrism. I didn’t tip the servers because I was used to my culture. Then my friend told me that I should tip. No tip means I got bad service from the
In elementary-high school there are multiple issues you have to face when learning, one of those being social skills and interaction with people. Social skills is important to learn because on a day to day basis you have to interact with others from talking with friends, helping strangers, or sometimes predicting people’s moods. We see this take place when Rose speaks of his mother being able to sense people’s moods; it could be either the costumers or managers mood but she keeps the situation calm with her good interaction skills. Social skills are picked up early in life from family, friends and even teachers. Another issue you will face is learning how to adapt to different environments. You come across different environments every day, for example you could be in a business office giving an interview and the next at a bar with your friends. Also another example of this is if you get a new teacher every year you have to lean how they operate and handle the class. Adapting to new environments may seem second nature but it was taught and learned at an early age. Lastly you learn about the system as a whole, you learn how the teacher’s grade and the grading
Tipping your waiter almost feels like something that has just always been around in your dining experience inside America. You go with family and friends to your favorite restaurant, your waiter greets you, you order your meal, enjoy it, pay, and leave a tip. However, tipping is an Europe custom we borrowed. Weirdly enough, tipping use to be viewed as rude and disrespectful, much unlike today where it is viewed as disrespectful not to leave a tip. According to Michael Lynn, a professor at the Cornell University School of Hotel Administration, “tipping in the United States began just after the American Civil War in the late 1800’s.” Lynn suggests that wealthy Americans traveling abroad to Europe witnessed tipping and brought the aristocratic custom back with them to “show off,” or prove their elevated education and class. When you go dine in at your favorite restaurant and finish your delicious meal, how much do you tip? 10%? 20%? Nothing at all? Do you know how much to tip, or even why you should leave a tip? Tipping waiters is not a bonus; it is part of their salary. When you tip, you are helping waiters to achieve minimum wage. Consumers must pay for these costs one way or another. Tipping in America should be required.
I just wanna get off my table and go home, I don’t care about the change. But in America, it seems like tipping is pretty much mandatory, and not only is it mandatory, but you also get judged if you don’t leave a tip, like people will actually think you’re cheap, or a jerk
Many times my family has gone out to restaurants, having nice experiences. Other visits not so much. One outing in particular, my family and I ate out at an upscale French restaurant in Virginia. The food was good. However, my dad left a small tip for the level of service provided by our snobby waitress. Leaving the restaurant, we heard a “Sir! Excuse me, Sir.” Our waitress hurried across the parking lot in effort to catch up with us. She asked, “Did I do something wrong?” In which dad replied, “No, you didn’t do anything wrong, why?” She hastily replied, “The tip. The tip,” upset with the amount left.
When a child’s early experiences are chaotic and one or both parents are absent these causes the brain to become stressed and make the child feel insecure. The NCCP states, “Many children whose mothers suffer from depression lack healthy brain development” (NCCP). This can lead the child to have trouble connecting with classmates and lack of social skills. The article also mentions, “Daily interaction plays an important role in a child’s emotional and mental development” (NCCP). Positive interactions not only with classmates but also parents or adults can also help a child become more secure of themselves and allow them to ambition greater things than that of their parents. Overall, relationships between teachers and students are important. Poverty is a factor to the lack of social skills in children because the lack of positive role models in the
The country that I am going to describe for the assignment is the United States (USA). The USA is the third largest country in the world with a population of 320 million. The USA culture is shaped by immigrants from all countries of the world. The USA does not have an official language, but business and political matters are mainly conducted in English. The non-English languages spoken in the USA are Spanish, German, French, Chinese and Hebrew. The majority of Americans considered themselves as Christians; however, a considerable number of people claim to have no religious affiliation. For Americans, it is a norm to tip when dining out or when receiving a service.
When my friend first came to America,there was an embarrassing moment about tipping. On that day, he finished his meal and paid it, but when he just left the restaurant, a waiter who had served him run out and asked him”Why you didn’t give me a tip?”.My friend apologized for this ignorance and paid it at once.Thanks to his experience, I don’t need to face this kind of embarrassing moment;however,I am a kind of against the tipping culture with the first reason is that it seems like an optional conduct, but essentially it is a mandatory one at least in some specific places.
As a culture, we are told how to act, think, and speak among other things. We are taught to do what is considered "right" and if we
The child I observed was a seven-year-old girl in Year 2 who sat on the second highest ability table in a mixed class. While not in school, she lived a substantial distance away meaning she travelled to and from school by car and was often the first child to arrive in the morning and the last to leave in the afternoon. I will focus on the social and emotional development of this child who, from now onwards, will be referred to as C.
Everyone in the family knows what is expected of them: my father goes to work, my mother works a little and cooking. The children must obey. I have to listen to everything my parent says, discipline and physical punishment were acceptable for disobedience in the family tradition. For example, one time, I tell my parent that I am going over to my friends’ house to do some group project and that was a lie. After my parent knows it, I get punish by kneeling down on the floor for one hour, and that not the worst yet. In addition, my family also had a high regard for education. They want me to study and excel in my education, which goes for the rest of my sisters and brothers. At first, I don’t like these rules but I do now because it’s what makes my parent happy and me too, a
. According to John Dewey education plays a large role in the development of an individual and it is an element that separates humans from other animals. It is important to try to comprehend what Dewey means by this and in order to do so the following must be done. First, one must understand the role education plays in an individual and Dewey’s notions of education in the areas of growth, direction and social function. Second, after comprehending Dewey’s notions of education in the areas of growth, direction, and social function, one must be able to grasp the distinction between education as a social function and the simple notion of training and what sets these two apart. Third, after being able to comprehend the notions of education and the distinction between education as a social function and training, the idea of why education is distinctive of human life will be further developed.
I chose Urie Bronfenbrenner’s bioecological model of child development to reflect on my stages of development. In the microsystem of Bronfenbrenner’s model, my early childhood family structure included my uncle, his wife and their five children. I went to live with my uncle after my mother passed away. By middle childhood, my uncle and his wife migrated to the United Sates and I went to live with one of his daughters( Erica) and her two children. They became my construct of what a family represent. Although I was welcomed in Erica’s family, I felt as if I did not belong in their family. The only place I felt accepted was at school. The classroom represented a place where I expressed my feelings without being ignored or judged by my peers. Also, I had very observant and understanding teachers who had the best of my interest. I had one teacher , Mr. Francis, who believed that I was capable of improving academically. At the end of his class, he noted in my report card that I had potential to be academically competent, however, I needed to settle down and apply myself to learning. His comments motivated me to do my best throughout elementary school. During elementary school, I maintained healthy relationships with my peers. There were never any reports of misconduct of any misunderstanding amongst my peers. In fact, interactions with them thought me how to engage in fair play, wait my turn, build trust and explore my environment. In exploring my environment, I
Socialization is the process by which culture is learned; also called enculturation. During socialization individuals internalize a culture's social controls, along with values and norms about right and wrong. Socialization is a complex process that involves many individuals, groups, and social institutions.
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
The Socialization of my life. This is how I become who I am. My early socialization has been a big role in my life along with my significant others, which includes my parents and friends. My defining moments in my life and the experiences I’ve faced. Also with the media's help I’ve become to understand the simple things. Over the past sixteen years I have learned to become the person i am today all because of socialization.
