 Socialization
Paper 
 
 Many
 agents
 of
 socialization
 have
 shaped
 the
 person
 I
 am
 today.
 Some
 agents
of
socialization,
more
than
others
have
molded
my
personality
and
character
 from
birth
to
the
present
moment.
I
can
strongly
affirm
that
most
of
these
agents
of
 socialization
influenced
me
most
significantly
during
my
teen
years.
After
analyzing
 the
various
agents
of
socialization
that
have
shaped
the
person
I
am
today,
I
feel
that
 family,
school,
peer
groups
and
the
mass
media
are
agents
of
socialization
that
have
 had
more
of
a
priority
in
my
life.

These
are
the
elements,
which
have
influenced
my
 emotions,
attitudes
and
behavior.
Within
this
paper
I
will
analyze
the
four
agents
of
 socialization
mentioned
above
and
also
incorporate
other
socialization
concepts
in
 relation
to
those
agents.
 
 I
officially
became
a
member
of
the
XXXXX
family
on
January
XX,
1992.

I
was
 born
and
raised
in
Hollywood,
California,
and
spent
most
of
my
sensorimotor
stage
 and
 preoperational
 stage
 in
 Hollywood.
 
 My
 mother
 would
 tell
 me
 that
 as
 an
 infant,
I
would
be
attracted
to
any
object
in
sight,
particularly
shiny
objects.
I
would
 touch,
 smell,
 and
 even
 attempt
 to
 eat
 these
 objects.
 It
 sounded
 weird
 at
 first,
 but
 after
analyzing
Piaget’s
theory,
I
concluded
that
it
is
vital
for
infants
to
adapt
to
their
 surroundings
by
touching
objects
and
imitating
people.

I
learned
how
to
walk
when
 I
was
about
two
years
old,
but
surprisingly
I
learned
how
to
talk
when
I
was
four.

It
 was
kind
of
odd
knowing
that
I
could
not
make
complete
sentences
until
I
was
four,
 however
 according
 to
 Jean
 Piaget’s
 preoperational
 stage,
 children
 at
 the
 ages
 two
 through
 six
 will
 develop
 language
 and
 object
 permanence.
 Moreover,
 I
 would
 eventually
 take
 the
 role
