  16. Socialization and the Self Functionalist Perspective:  groups work together to create a stable society.  Ex: School, family norms Conflict Perspective: perpetuating status quo.  Accept your social class, don't challenge your position in life.  Maintain the social, political, and economic advantages of the higher social classes. Symbolic Interactionism:  human nature is a product of societyConcepts: the looking-glass self, significant others, role taking (imitations stage, play stage, game stage) the generalized otherself-concept: an image of yourself as having a separate identity form other people.  looking class self:  an image of yourself based on what you believe others think of you

  17. How does the looking glass process work?  3 stages 1. Imagine how you appear to others2. Imagine reaction of others to your imagined appearance3. Evaluate yourself according to how you imagine others have judged youDid you make a good impression if someone doesn't smile at you?  Is your looking-glass self accurate?NO but we are still affected by our perception of our looking glass self.  Should we not be?  Also, we use some people more than others because they are more sig to us.

  18. Role Taking assuming viewpoint of another person and using that viewpoint to shape self-concept.  Role play possible reactions to marriage proposal.How does the ability for role taking develop? as children.  3 stages:imitation stage, play stage (pretend to be a dr.), and game stage (consider roles of various people simultaneously ex: playing baseball)

  19. When do kids do things out of principle? When do we start acting out of principle?during game stage kids should learn that being honest is not just important to please mom or dad but because of principle.generalized other: integrated conception of the norms, values, and beliefs of one's community or society.

  20. Agents of Socialization childhood and adolescence: family, school, peer group, mass media From Family kids learn to:think and speakinternalize norms, beliefs and valuesform some basic attitudesdevelop a capacity for intimate and personal relationshipsacquire a self image In addition, family social class affects how we think of ourselves and how other treat us ex: Johnny p 121 living in slum

  21. Socialization in Schools more objective standards.  Creates feelings of loyalty and allegiance to something beyond the family.  Do schools socialize us to form allegiance to country, work, society etc?

  23. Peer Group Socialization more time spent with fiends give and take relationships, conflicts, competition and cooperationbegin to make own decisions, experiment with new ways of thinking and self-expression

  24. Do peers contribute more to socialization than parents?  What do you think?

  25. Mass Media Mass Media also plays a role in socialization but this may be an over exaggeration   http://www.media-awareness.ca/english/issues/violence/index.cfmGroups each read one article and summarize for the class about what it says about media violence
