QUESTION
Socialization
Course Project: Part 2 – Socialization
Earlier in this course, we learned about socialization and how the way we are raised can affect what we think about ourselves and other people. As a reminder, socialization is the process whereby we acquire the attitudes, values, and behaviors appropriate for our culture. Here is an example: if someone was raised in the church and he or she attended church several times a week while growing up, he or she may likely be against gay marriage. Here is another one: if someone was raised in the military, they may be less likely to exhibit prejudices towards other races and ethnicities.
For this part of your project, you will examine the concept of socialization by addressing the items listed in the Assignment Details section. Please be sure to follow the guidelines for written assignments.

Answer
Socialization
Referring to the study subjects from last week and precisely the responses of question eight were dissimilar. My interviews entailed subjects of dissimilar ages from younger to older and of diverse races and backgrounds. Each of them had different answers in the manner in which they were raised that it made me feel a big effect in maintaining their attitudes, morals, conducts, and how they perceive others.
To start with, the 19-year-old I interviewed alleged that she was raised more freely and modernly than most children. She explained that throughout her life, her parents allowed her more authority in choosing her sexuality and the way she wants to be addressed. With this exposed background, my test subject is admissive to diverse lifestyles and values other people’s options, but she said she would prefer to live a more traditional life.
When I asked Mrs. Renada Nadia how she was brought up differently, she alleged that she was raised in a tough generation a time of segregation and discrimination. She recalled seeing racial signs along the streets that would read ‘whites only.’ She is an elderly Mexican woman. She confirmed that being raised in such a time and environment should typically have an undesirable consequence on individuals, but she said it just ultimately made her understand and love herself more because it seemed that the whole society hated due to her race. She also said she was brought up to be virtuous and save herself for her partner. She clarified that even though it sounded good back then, she does not trust it was the correct method to achieve things. She explained that she learned that understanding yourself completely is essential.
Two different ways that I was raised that brands me dissimilar from most individuals is that I was raised by one parent, my mother, who was my whole family because I never had siblings or a father. I never had big family trips, ceremonial dinner, family holidays or family cinemas. My mother was 39 years old when she had me, which played a major role in my background since a large part of my childhood was to take care of my mother instead of playing and enjoying childhood like the rest. Secondly, I was brought up differently because my family was poor. We would hardly have food because my mother was laid off when I was still a little boy and since then she never had another job. We were surviving on social security payments. This made life harder as we lacked money to buy new cloths, hold birthday parties and we hardly celebrated holidays because we could not afford them. This upbringing really designed and taught me how to manage money and budget for my things currently. It has also taught me how to save money and plan on venture in business so that my future family will not struggle the way I did God willing. I have also learnt the importance of giving my treasure, time, and talent to God’s kingdom and poor people.
