You’ve been learning about socialization. Choose a moment in your life (an “episode”) when you personally experienced RE SOCIALIZATION or when you witnessed someone else going through re socialization (please note the discussion of re socialization in the lecture and in the textbook). Describe in detail the dynamics of the re socialization, using concepts from class as CORRECTLY as possible.
Please mention the following:
Why is it RE SOCIALIZATION, in this particular instance?
What was the AGENT of socialization? School? Family? Work? Military?
Which THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK (functionalist, symbolic integrationist or critical) would you use to analyze this particular moment of resocialization, and why? Clearly explain WHY you think this framework would work well in helping to explain the dynamics of this resocialization episode.
