  1. Socialization - the process of internalizing the norms and values of society or subculture (group). • Internalizationis taking norms and values from the group and make the norms and values part of your “self.” • Norms and values exist outside the self and each of us takes those norms and values from the people around us to create a unique self. • As people change groups, or the groups’ norms change, the person internalizes new norms, and the self changes.

  2. SYMBOLIC INTERACTION • George Herbert Mead - Human interaction is completely symbolic. • Mead believed that all communication takes place through a symbolic language. • An interaction of gestures that communicates meaning to the “other.” • Specific words are without meaning, except for the meaning people attribute to the words (i.e. Cool!).

  3. GESTURES - A gesture is the phase of the act that causes a response from the other. Two types of gestures: Sign - gesture with one meaning. All other animals communicate with signs ONLY. Symbol - infinite meaning. Humans communication almost exclusively with symbols.

  4. Role-Taking is an ability to put the self into the other, to interpret the meaning of a gesture. • Two Types of Role-Taking: • Projection - project a meaning onto the “other’s” gesture. • Stereotyping - using one characteristic of the “other” to interpret the meaning of a gesture.

  5. Socialization • All socialization takes place through a three stage process. • Both infants and adults are socialized in the same stages.

  6. Socialization Stages 1. Imitation - imitate the “other’s” gestures only. 2. Play - role-take only one “other” at a time. 3. Game - role-take multiple “others” simultaneously.
