This week in class we talked about the different ways that socialization occurs to a person. Some of the categories, were work, religion, school, family and friends. Groups like religion and school can shape our overall outlook on our world. School gives us tools and helps guide us in the ways that we should deal with people and work ethic. Religion creates a general moral compass of what the culture sees as acceptable. Things like family and friends may give you a more specific moral and intellectual attitudes than just school and religion. These groups, which you are more directly affected by, influence us more specifically in the ways that we dress, how we talk, the music we like, etc. As a teenager, I've seen the effects of socialization from these categories in my own life. Due to the high school that I go to, and the friends that I hang out with, my work ethic, my outlooks on other people, as well as my opinions about other topics, are all shaped by them.
