socialization

summary

 Socialization is the process that prepares humans to function in social life. Socialization, because it is the adoption of culture, is going to be different in every culture.
 Socialization is a life process, but is generally divided into two parts. Primary and secondary socialization is it.  primary socialization takes place early in life, as a child and adolescent. Secondary socialization refers to the socialization that takes place throughout one's life, both as a child and as one encounters new groups that require additional socialization.
 Arnett distinguishes between broad and narrow socialization. broad socialization is intended to promote independence, individualism, and self-expression; it is dubbed broad because this type of socialization has the potential of resulting in a broad range of outcomes. narrow socialization is intended to promote obedience and conformity; it is dubbed narrow because there is a narrow range of outcomes.
 Not all socialization is voluntary nor is all socialization successful. There are components of society designed specifically to resocialize individuals who were not successfully socialized to begin with.  Depending on the degree of isolation and resocialization that takes place in a given institution, some of these institutions are labeled total institutions. The most common examples of total institutions include mental hospitals, prisons, and military boot camps.
 Socialization, as a concept in social scientific research, has evolved over time. Symbolic interactionism, Role theory,Reinforcement theory,Internalization theory is it.

my opinion

Socialization is important in many aspects. Through this exercise, I have found that  the socialization of various types are present than I expected.  And, classification of socialization was of particular interest.
