Essays on Socialization

How Are Societies Maintained?

Functionalism is a structural theory that maintains that the organization of the society, as well as the social structures, is more important than the individual members are. The theory proposes that an individual is born in the society, and they slowly become a product of various influences of the society (Moleski 45). Additionally, functionalism posits that social institutions, such as the media, religion, education, and family, play a crucial role in the socialization of the individual. Emile Durkheim was an ardent supporter of the functionalist perspective. He was positivist and “structuralist” who disagreed with the empathy and theory of ...

The social learning theory is one that has been widely referred to determine how young children interact and learn from their surroundings.

Interpersonal Rejection and Human Needs

Interpersonal Rejection and Human Needs Precisely, a human being becomes a personality due to the fact that he or she lives in society and develops capabilities that are inherent in his or her biological nature in interaction with other people. These opportunities cannot be realized outside of society, thus, a human cannot become a full-fledged personality. The process of human adoption of social experience, acquisition of the qualities that allow him or her to be a member of society, is called socialization.

Although established in ...

There are certain events in our society that can affect the course of our history, but there are events that are a direct reflection of how our society is structured. Ever since we are born we are socialized in order to function in our society and this varies from place to place. Our society is made of unspoken regulations and laws that function as a form of social control. What we also see in our society are hierarchies; we see them with gender, race, and especially class. At times we deny that there is prejudice in our society, but ...

Van der Pol defines tacit knowledge as knowledge that is “implicit, non-conscious and unacknowledged and is acquired through practice, socialization and habits”. Acquisition of tacit knowledge of other people’s culture may prevent ethnocentric bias in a world that is experiencing social economic and political relational growth among countries (Scott 262). This would lead to mutual respect and harmony among people with different cultural backgrounds brought together by these ever growing relations. The form of knowledge has been enhanced by increased integration of social, economic and political systems. The world has become a global village that has resulted in ...

International business is a complex ecosystem. As enterprises of all size and activity engage in business dealings on a regular basis, differential modes of interaction emerge.

Accordingly, competencies for cross-cultural interactions become a requirement for successful business. This applies, more specifically, to staff who is assigned internally for short or long business positions. True, international business has been a staple of human activity for millennia. However, current business ecosystem departs radically from conventional business practices. Characteristically, current business is more overlapping and ...

Nancy Carlsson-Paige is a mother of two sons, the author of Taking Back Childhood, and an expert in early childhood development (Strauss, 2020). The woman argues that the modern educational system puts the burden on the children, overloading them with worksheets, tests, scores, etc. (Strauss, 2020). It steals childhood from the young learners, particularly those belonging to vulnerable groups, e.g., low-income population or ethnic minorities (Strauss, 2020). Indeed, the rapid development of technology and the drastic changes it causes in diverse spheres require young students to keep up with the pace. Therefore, the 21st-century preschoolers ...

Introduction

In the recent past, there has been an increase in cultural diversity in the educational institutions.

Undisputedly, social identity has a psychological dimension. However, in the sociological imagination, Wright Mills explains that ‘neither the life of an individual nor the history of society can be understood without understanding both’ (Mills, 1959). Therefore, when exploring social identity it is vital to assess the social and cultural factors that shape an individual in the milieu that it is fashioned in the contemporary society. This means that, we must look at both the power the individual has to exercise agency and the structure, or society into which they are born; the society, which already exist. Sociologist Emile Durkheim ...

Question 1: Role of an Apology

The purpose of an apology is to restore a pre-existing moral order by expunging hurtful effects of previous actions by accounting for what is not alterable. While it may not achieve this, the motivation for a transgressor to apologize includes the need for forgiveness and reconciliation, which makes it possible to paper over the transgressions and bar them from becoming permanent impediments to social relationships. Further, Tavuchis (1991) argues that apologies speak to some things that are larger than any specific betrayal or desire for expediency/reconciliation (p. 6). Social order is hinged on a measure of commitment to norms in respect of ...

Political socialization is a learning process through which a person acquires political beliefs, values and opinions (Ellen 185). Individuals also learn attitudes and behaviors towards religion and culture through the same process. Political socialization is continuous and begins from early childhood and progresses as the individual matures. The process is crucial in inducting individuals into a particular political culture as well as in shaping the individuals orientation towards political objects. The process is also the means of transmitting political beliefs and values from one generation to the next (Edward 20). For example, Political socialization is necessary for transmitting support for gun rights ...

The Neandertal type site revisited: Interdisciplinary investigations of skeletal remains from the Neander Valley, Germany

Neander Valley was an important limestone extraction site but in mid-1800s human bones were discovered during excavations. These bones were assigned to a human Neandertal 1 but the exact details of the extraction and the location remain obscure. Many years later in 1997 and 2000 excavations in this region were resumed and many new bone fragments were discovered. These bone fragments are typical as that of Neandertals and belong to at least three different individuals. AMS radiocarbon dating and mtDNA sequencing suggest that the bones are about 40,000 years old and establish the context of the humans they belong ...

SEGREGATION AT WORKPLACES IS NOT RIGHT: GET THE FACTS RIGHT

Thinking about it now, I realize just how important it is to work. Every element of human existence point to work. The Bible, the Koran, and other religious doctrines relate humanity to work. However, one controversial element of all these provisions dwells upon the need to have particular work groups clowned in segregation. In the contemporary society, divisions often exist at workplaces where the women and the men are given specific tasks often stressing their energy outputs and presumed superiority indexes. The women in many workplaces today have certain barriers that hinder them from working in a broad-spectrum schedule like ...

Sub cultural groups based on age, race, creed, ethnicity and religious bias carry their importance in many ways in a multiethnic society. These groups tend to have their intrinsic characteristics which shape up their life styles, consumer behaviors and marketing preferences, to an appreciable extent, if not completely. With the passage of time, the shadows casted by the culture of origin tend to decrease upon the immigrants, though certain aspects, woven into their very fabric, continue to stand firm. The phenomenon however is more complex than it may seem (Solomon, M. R., 2002).
