Short-Answer

Respond to the following in 50 to 75 words each, unless otherwise specified.

1. In 25 to 50 words each, describe the following perspectives of development of the self:

a. Cooley’s Looking Glass Self: Charles Horton Cooley reiterates that the self-growth of an individual originates from the various interpersonal interactions in the society and the perceptions people have towards the person. This is the building block of personality. There should be a citation here.

b. Mead’s Role Taking: There are three main stages of self-development. The first stage is the preparatory stage. In this stage, children learn through copying behaviors from those around them (Kraimer, Bolino, & Mead, 2016). The second stage is the play phase. It comprises of children ignoring rules and regulations Are the children old enough to understand rules and regulations? while learning to tackle different issues in their surroundings. The learning is always undertaken via games. The last stage is the game phase. Children understand that there are consequences to everything they learn about in their environment.

c. Piaget’s Development of Reasoning: Piaget’s theory also occurs in phases where deductive reasoning is important for the survival of a person in the human environment. A person should have a comprehension of abstract ideas and use the environment for personal benefits (Bandura, 2014). Moses, as this was read, the reader is at a loss. When does deductive reasoning enter into the equation for a human being?

2. What role does socialization take in personality, morality, emotions, and gender? How do different agents of socialization contribute? The various agents agents of socialization are: family, school, peers, people with whom one works, religion, etc. What we are looking for is what or who serves as an agent (living, active) of socialization? Can you see the difference? comprise of norms, values, and morals. Socialization shapes thinking among individuals, a factor that serves as a building block to the development of personality. Socialization introduces a person to norms and values which in turn shape morality. Also, connections between different people in the community create a specific perception about the environment and in turn lead to the development of emotions. Socialization also ensures people understand the difference between different genders and their role.

3. In 20 to 25 words each, describe how socialization occurs in each of the following developmental periods:

a. Childhood (birth to age 12): Children are mainly socialized by the parents and siblings around them. Their immediate environment is full of symbols which allow them to learn about themselves and those that matter in relation to their growth.

b. Adolescence (ages 13-17): Children already understand their environment but pick some behavioral traits by observing and interacting with their peers in the social and academic environments. Children may become unpleasant/pleasant based on their interactions with other children and parents.

c. Transitional Adulthood (ages 18-29): Adolescent become young adults focusing on becoming responsible in their environments. They must work and fend for their needs and those that they love. This creates a responsible attitude towards them. To whom does “them” refer?

d. The Middle Years (ages 30-65): The middle years involve high levels of responsibilities as individuals have become accustomed to responsibilities, families, and friends. They raise children who they would like to become like them. Do these parents want their children to become like themselves, or do they want the children to develop according to what cards the children are dealt?

e. The Older Years (ages 65 and above): Older adults are more reserved and they remain to be an example to the young generations. They have already acquired knowledge and it has benefited them greatly. They are now focused on raising young minds that will become beneficial to their environments.

4. Different societies have different social structures. What is social structure? What components contribute to the macrosociological perspective of social structure? A social structure refers to a socioeconomic stratification system. It looks into the relations between different large social groups in the society (Erola, Jalonen, & Lehti, 2016). Macro sociological perspective is a result of the various interactions between resources and social networks.

Moses, where you did cite much of the information in this worksheet, much of what is written is difficult to understand. Take a look and read over the answer given in #4. A suggestion: read what you have written to another person, out loud. Read just as written. Does that person understand what is being communicated in the paragraph?

Check the green highlight. 105/150
