Assignment:

In this module, you learned about the importance of socialization, how various agents and institutions play a role in socializing an individual, and how these experiences in socialization impact the individual across their lifespan. In this assignment, apply this information by analyzing the agents of socialization as they impact a specific individual in writing an essay.

STEP 1: Identify and briefly describe the agents of socialization. Please include information like: general age of a person in which the agent plays a specific role, the importance of the agent in socialization, how long these agents remain relevant, and when these agents are most relevant.

STEP 2: Choose an individual to use as a case study to better understand each agent of socialization. This example can be a real person, or it can be a character from a television show, movie, or book. Discuss the various change agents this person has in their life. Describe, in detail, the specific roles these change agents play in socialization of the individual.

STEP 3: In a majority of situations, change agents aren't always "on the same page" and social expectations between agents may create difficulty or conflict for an individual. Using your example, identify a situation in which the social expectation varied between agents. What are some ways an individual may respond to these conflicting expectations? What issues may arise for an individual as they navigate these expectations?
