W9.2 Introduction to Sociology


  1. Summary

Socialization is the process by which individuals learn social customs, values, and norms, as well as the social skills necessary to function and excel within them. It involves learning through interactions with family, peers, institutions, and media, both conscious and unconscious. Socialization helps individuals develop self-awareness and their place within society, where they learn to build relationships, make decisions, and navigate social expectations. It is essential for individual functioning and social stability.

  1. Interesting Points/Learnings

The emergence of social media and technology has had a significant impact on socialization and social interactions. Many people have become accustomed to staying in touch with their family, friends, and colleagues, and even establishing new relationships through social media. The proliferation of technology has also provided individuals with more independent learning pathways, thereby impacting their socialization process.

Research suggests that the use of social media and technology may affect people's social skills and abilities, leading to a decline in their face-to-face communication skills. Additionally, social media may also trigger anxiety, loneliness, and dependence, thereby impacting an individual's socialization process.

However, social media and technology can also have positive effects on socialization. For example, they provide more opportunities for communication and interaction, creating more social connections and larger social networks for people. Additionally, social media and technology also provide more resources and opportunities for learning, accelerating the socialization process.

  1. Discussion Points

In the age of social media and technology, can we escape the influence of socialization, or are we always subject to the influence of our surroundings?
