When teens finish their secondary schooling i. Frequently, they might take a job, travel, or find other ways to experience another culture.
Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge, spent his gap year practising survival skills in Belize, teaching English in Chile, and working on a dairy farm in the United Kingdom Prince of Wales a. In Canada, this life transition point is socialized quite differently, and taking a year off is generally frowned on. Instead, Canadian youth are encouraged to pick career paths by their mid-teens, to select a university or college and a major by their late teens, and to have completed all university schooling or technical training for their career by their early 20s.
In other nations, this phase of the life course is tied into conscription, a term that describes compulsory military service. Egypt, Austria, Switzerland, Turkey, and Singapore all have this system in place. Youth in these nations often only the males are expected to undergo a number of months or years of military training and service.
How might your life be different if you lived in one of these other countries? Can you think of similar social norms—related to life age-transition points—that vary from country to country? Through interacting with others and watching others interact, the expectation to fulfill roles becomes clear. While in elementary or middle school, the prospect of having a boyfriend or girlfriend may have been considered undesirable. The socialization that takes place in high school changes the expectation.
By observing the excitement and importance attached to dating and relationships within the high school social scene, it quickly becomes apparent that one is now expected not only to be a child and a student, but a significant other as well.
Graduation from formal education—high school, vocational school, or college—involves socialization into a new set of expectations. Educational expectations vary not only from culture to culture, but from class to class. While middle- or upper-class families may expect their daughter or son to attend a four-year university after graduating from high school, other families may expect their child to immediately begin working full-time, as many within their family have done before.
Millennials, sometimes also called Gen Y, is a term that describes the generation born during the early s to early s. They are the generation that is currently between the ages of 18 and While the recession was in full swing, many were in the process of entering, attending, or graduating from high school and college.
With employment prospects at historical lows, large numbers of graduates were unable to find work, sometimes moving back in with their parents and struggling to pay back student loans. In the process of socialization, adulthood brings a new set of challenges and expectations, as well as new roles to fill.
As the aging process moves forward, social roles continue to evolve. Pleasures of youth, such as wild nights out and serial dating, become less acceptable in the eyes of society. They become partners or parents instead of students or significant others. Just as young children pretend to be doctors or lawyers, play house, and dress up, adults also engage anticipatory socialization , the preparation for future life roles.
Examples would include a couple who cohabitate before marriage, or soon-to-be parents who read infant care books and prepare their home for the new arrival. As part of anticipatory socialization, adults who are financially able begin planning for their retirement, saving money and looking into future health care options. The transition into any new life role, despite the social structure that supports it, can be difficult.
Socialization is ongoing throughout adulthood in another sense as well. The study of contemporary society reveals an increasing fluidity of roles, as opposed to previous eras when one could expect to be married only once, live in one location, or to have a single career. This experience is part of what Zygmunt Bauman has called liquid modernity. It is more difficult to view socialization as a smooth and uninterrupted process.
As a result, social identities have become more flexible , more adaptable to unpredictable transitions, and more open to taking on new roles or picking and choosing from a globalized palette of cultural values and practices. In the process of resocialization , old behaviours that were helpful in a previous role are removed because they are no longer of use.
Resocialization is necessary when a person moves to a senior care centre, goes to boarding school, or serves time in jail. In the new environment, the old rules no longer apply. The process of resocialization is typically more stressful than normal socialization because people have to unlearn behaviours that have become customary to them.
A ship at sea is a total institution, as are religious convents, prisons, or some cult organizations. They are places cut off from a larger society. The 15, Canadians who lived in federal prisons or penitentiaries at the end of are also members of this type of institution Sapers As another example, every branch of the military is a total institution. Many individuals are resocialized into an institution through a two-part process.
First, members entering an institution must leave behind their old identity through what is known as a degradation ceremony. In a degradation ceremony , new members lose the aspects of their old identity and are given new identities.
The process is sometimes gentle. To enter a senior care home, an elderly person often must leave a family home and give up many belongings which were part of his or her long-standing identity.
Though caretakers guide the elderly compassionately, the process can still be one of loss. In many cults, this process is also gentle and happens in an environment of support and caring. In other situations, the degradation ceremony can be more extreme. New prisoners lose freedom, rights including the right to privacy , and personal belongings. When entering the army, soldiers have their hair cut short. Their old clothes are removed and they wear matching uniforms.
After new members of an institution are stripped of their old identity, they build a new one that matches the new society. In the military, soldiers go through basic training together, where they learn new rules and bond with one another. They follow structured schedules set by their leaders. Soldiers must keep their areas clean for inspection, learn to march in correct formations, and salute when in the presence of superiors. Learning to deal with life after having lived in a total institution requires yet another process of resocialization.
In the Canadian military, soldiers learn discipline and a capacity for hard work. They set aside personal goals to achieve a mission, and they take pride in the accomplishments of their units.
Many soldiers who leave the military transition these skills into excellent careers. Others find themselves lost upon leaving, uncertain about the outside world, and what to do next. The process of resocialization to civilian life is not a simple one. Theories of Self Development Psychological theories of self development have been broadened by sociologists who explicitly study the role of society and social interaction in self development. Charles Cooley and George Mead both contributed significantly to the sociological understanding of the development of self.
Lawrence Kohlberg and Carol Gilligan developed their ideas further, researching how our sense of morality develops. Why Socialization Matters Socialization is important because it helps uphold societies and cultures; it is also a key part of individual development.
Research demonstrates that who we are is affected by both nature our genetic and hormonal makeup and nurture the social environment in which we are raised. Agents of Socialization Our direct interactions with social groups, like families and peers, teach us how others expect us to behave. Schools, workplaces, and the media communicate and reinforce cultural norms and values. Socialization across the Life Course Socialization is a lifelong process recurring as we enter new phases of life, such as adulthood or senior age.
Resocialization is a process that removes the socialization we have developed over time and replaces it with newly learned rules and roles. Because it involves removing old habits that have been built up, resocialization can be a stressful and difficult process. Theories of Self Development 1.
