Document Summary
Socialization is the inclusion of an individual in the various aspects of society. The process by which a person contracts an identity. Media, schools, peer groups, social class, and family. Listening to children while still enforcing rules, lots of support but little enforcement of rules, low level of emotional support but enforces rules a lot. It is the way we look at ourselves based off of how we think others look at us. It depends on level of nurture when they were growing up. Social interaction: the process by which people act and react in relation to others. Stigma: mark of disgrace associated with a particular status, quality, or person. Often associated with age, religion, sexual orientation, ses, race. Stigmas are often not true and negative. If it is positive, it might not be good because it is not necessarily true. We don"t often want to associate with these people with stigmas.
