Document Summary
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. 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. They observed how random adults who didn"t know the gender of the baby interacted with it.
