Document Summary
Midterm 1: 25-30 multiple-choice questions & 2 short answer questions (1 hour), first 3 weeks. Sports and socialization: how we become involved in sport: when we became involved in sports, whether it was through your family, friends (peers), or through their education system and what age did we begin to play sports. Males make more money than woman in sports. Males have less ties to education and have fewer skills to apply after they retire where as women have more skills and are able to have careers outside of sports. Concussions and other health skills follow professional athletes after they retire and affect their livelihood. Fluid and on-going process: its not static, its forever changing. Not limited to just athletes, sports apply to anyone with an interest in sports. Non-athletes can contribute or participate through watching sports on tv or at the stadium. Interactive process (socializing agents): friends and family, education, community, media, coaches (significant others), teammates, religion.
