Document Summary
Lecture 3 - socialization: how do we learn culture, we are socialized into our culture and into our society through our interactions with others. It is a process which begins in childhood and is ongoing throughout our life: socialization is how we interact with other people in society and what we learn through these interactions. So it is from the symbolic interactionism perspective: we are a product of society and our interactions with others, we have different roles in different cultures. Through these roles we have an awareness of self: the idea of socialization is that we develop a sense of self in relation to our world and through the people we interact with, ex. Research on interactions with babies: had one baby, and had two outfits for it. One pink dress so people think it"s a girl and one blue shirt for people to think it"s a boy.
