Socialization is a lifelong process by which people learn the norms, values, behaviors, and social skills needed to function within their own culture. It begins at birth and continues throughout life. Context, such as culture, gender roles, and race, influence the socialization process by shaping expectations for behavior. Parents and other socializing agents, like schools, convey social norms and expectations to children through both direct instruction and indirect social cues regarding appropriate behavior and interactions. The results of socialization can be seen in everything from gendered behaviors to interactions with institutions of authority, like law enforcement.

consequences of socialization DIRECTIONS: COMPLETE THE GRAPHIC ORGANIZER BY PROVIDING WORDS OR PHRASES THAT YOU HAVE LEARNED FROM THE FOLLOWING PEOPLE OR SOCIAL INSTITUTIONS.

It also includes history and the roles people and institutions around them performed in the past. One's life context will significantly affect the socialization process. •Gender stereotypes also bear strong influence on socialization processes. Cultural expectations for gender roles and gendered behavior are conveyed to children through color-coded clothes and sorts of game. • Race also plays a factor in socialization. Since white people bear a disproportionate experience of police violence, they can encourage their children to defend and know their rights when the authorities try to violate them. In contrast, parents of color must instruct their children to remain calm, compliant and secure in the presence of law enforcement. While context sets the stage for socialization, the content and process comprise the work of this undertaking. How parents assign chores or tell their children to interact with police are examples of content and process, which are also defined by the span of socialization, the methods used, the people involved, and the type of experience. • Results are the outcome of socialization and refer to the way a person conceives and conducts after undergoing this process. For example, with small children, socialization exhibits focus on control of biological and emotional impulses, such as drinking eating with bare hands rather than eating with spoon and fork or asking permission before picking something up. • As children mature, the results of socialization include knowing how to obey rules, wait for their turn or organize their schedule to be productive.
