The Socialization Parents Give Their Sons And Daughters

The issues women faced, demonstrates the influence of family structures. The relation of socioeconomic status in race and ethnicity is looked upon as a strong association to sexual behavior. The length of time parents communicating sexual issues, have shown a significant role in adolescences. The repetition of sexuality virtues impacts gendered sexual expectations. Mothers teach their daughters, the importance of being a virgin until marriage. Lopez states, “Women construct premarital virginity as a commodity that can be rated in a patriarchal society for financial stability and happiness via marriage” (pg. 222). Maintaining premarital virginity represents stability and happiness. With virginity specifies, mothers are over protected towards their daughters. Mothers strive to protect their daughters from gendered inequalities. Gender expectations represents the inequality

Though not all societies use the binary system we do, each constructs genders and gender roles (RWL 415). Some of those roles overlap in different cultures, and others couldn’t be further apart. Kincaid’s culture frowned upon being viewed as a slut, overlapping with mine. Mostly growing up in the South, being “ladylike” is as much part of Southern culture as food. However, many of the social expectations she was being lectured on were so unfamiliar to me that I had to Google them. Though I can relate to Southern culture, I’m originally from Florida, which isn’t normally seen as truly Southern. I moved to Alabama around the time in school when Sittenfield also describes the beginnings of a distinction between boys and girls (LU 4).

Growing boys who lack a father figure are more likely to do badly in school or drop out at an early age. Men are known to encourage structure, discipline, and achievement while women focus on loving

“You throw like a girl.” “You run like a girl.” “You look like a girl.” It’s common sense that these phrases are not at all compliments but rather gender-based insults. Since when did the physical capacities of a young girl stacked up against a boy turn into an insult and a limitation? Is being a female individual something derogatory, something to be shameful about? Young girls are taught to be weak, fragile and soft-spoken while it’s openly accepted and even encouraged for boys to have hard opinions, to be strong and tough and exert power. They’re constantly put into a place of doubt by the media, parents and their social community.

This may be because of the socialisation men receive when growing up. It is argued that men and women are socialised differently as children. Women are essentially expected to conform to norms and values that society impose on them: they are generally considered by society as the weaker and passive sex, labelled as a mother, a carer and are expected to be a conformist, deferential and diligent. Girls may be brought up to fear violence inflicted upon them whereas men are often socialised differently in that they are brought up to oppose it if threatened. Men are encouraged at a young age to be competitive, aggressive and sexually

In today’s world there are many different things and people that society let's raise their children. That includes all types of different people christians , non-christians, muslims and etc. These specific things and or people are the images society having laying out for adults and also children to grab and be apart of . The amount of television shows that are out here displaying horrible images of sex, cursing, adultery, and all other sorts of sinful action is basically the only things are children see. Society also has a way in exploiting certain people in the media whom have no type of good context about or even with-in themselves and the only thing we see in the people is the undefined clothing, the words they speak, the music they put out to the world and everything in that boat. And for these people to get as much fame as they do the world is telling our kids if you act, dress, talk like these

When did doing something “like a girl” mean being weak? When did it become something that even as women, we portray in a negative way?

Women are perceived differently from men due to stereotypes and expectations. Female stereotypes begin before birth, associating girls with the color pink. Another stereotype and expectation which involves females is that they are supposed to do the housework and the cooking. In addition women are expected to look pretty and to be looked at.

School vs. home, I was socialized differently. I believe this because boy were and labeled as “rough”, playing wise. Within school, it is said that females mature faster. Therefore, we learn faster and take information faster. As where boys have tended to learn information slowly, therefore they are challenged more than girls. Also boys are set to be leaders, so girls are put second.

The difference between what is taught in the schools and what is taught at home depends on the parents. Many parents only teach what they believe to be the best solution; for example, some parents may teach that the only way someone could prevent premarital pregnancy is to remain abstinent until after he or she is married. Religious beliefs may also affect the ideas that the parents wish the children to have about sex. As a result of the different views and the unsatisfactory results of the parent-taught sex education, there was a survey on the proposal of a sex education program for the parents. The results stated, “A majority of respondents (68%) agreed many parents would benefit from a sex education program for parents. Only 6% disagreed with this statement” (Marsman 360). After viewing the results, educators can see that over half of the parents would take a course that their children are taking because of the usefulness of the sex education program.

Our girls are getting the message that boys are better capable of handling different tasks, and therefore, need to be trained by giving them more responsibilities. I bet that Madeline Alberight or Dr. Elizabeth Verba did not accept this philosophy in life. Such methods of thinking reduces a girls self esteem and decreases her chances of getting a higher education and fulfilling goals of becoming world leaders, scientists, inventors, educators or even good mothers.

Family is the most important foundation within a child’s life that sets the tone for how they will be growing up. Studies have been conducted on what kind of behaviors and values children adopt from their parents. This study “ Parents and Family Sources of Parents Socialization Values: A multilevel study that was conducted by Daniela Barni, Sonia Ranieri, Silvia Donato, Semira Tagliabue, Eugenia Scabini. This study focused on parent’s socialization values, and which values they preferred their children to adopt. Previous research done on this topic had been done with one parent rather than both. The researches of this study aimed for two major goals; to compare both mother and fathers and see where they differ and relate on socialization values and look into parents individual personal values as well as family dynamic. The hypothesis was that mothers view conservation values and self-transcendence values as more important; while fathers view openness to change and self-enhancement values more important. The hypothesis for the second goal was that there would be significant correlation between the parents own personal values and their socialization values. Researchers believed that parents want their children to continue their “family values” that have been passed down to them.

Growing up you don’t think that being a girl or being a boy, had much influence on what you would do when you grew up, sure girls and boys always would claim to be better and make little jokes at each other. That wasn’t serious to a fourth grader. I grew up with mostly men in my household with my mother being gone, I was raised to be just as tough as my brothers, I got the same chores as them, and the same punishment as them when I got in trouble. We were always treated as equals and that was the norm for me.

Children with tight net families and those that a have a positive relationship with there parents tend to delay sexual activity or less risky behaviors. With this type of relationship with children usually comes with very strict guidelines about dating. Parents that are close to there children an d are comfortable with there sexuality find it easier to talk to there kids openly about having sex, and the choices they have if they choose to become active with there mate.

Over many years, the views of premarital sex have been becoming increasingly more tolerant. The whole reasoning behind why sex was created is lost in the minds of society and used for pleasure and own physical satisfaction. There are negative consequences for these actions leading to guilt, depression, and numbness to intimate relationships. Having strong parental influence can also strongly affect the outcomes of adolescence and causal sex. Additionally, marriage can be
