The Power of Society in Child Socialization Explain why the power of society is evident in the decision to:
Bear children
Name that child
Socialize that child through the agents of socialization
Be sure that your discussion views the decision through the lens of the social institutions. Family, school, peers, mass media, public opinion, and religion each play a major role in the socialization and, ultimately, the education process. Each of us proceeds through life in a manner that we often believe is under our immediate control and influence. It seems logical that the actions we take and the impact of those actions is based upon a series of logical, rational, decisions selected and filtered by choice, not chance.
