How is family central to the process of socialization? Provide a couple of examples. Is the family’s role in socialization changing? If so, what parts of social learning are affected, and what other agents of socialization have stepped in to provide those elements of socialization (think daycare centers, schools, media, or religious organizations)?
Consider a person who is going to college for the first time. How is the process the student goes through a form of socialization? What type of socialization is this, and how does it differ from the socialization we experience as children? What are some new norms a student must adapt to? What factors might make these new norms and values easier for a student to adjust to (or more difficult)?
