After I graduate Ashford University and obtain my bachelors in sociology I will be pursuing a teaching career at Teachers for America. This class has introduced lots of information that is definitely going to be useful in my teaching career. Understanding the nature of families and children and how they relate to society is very important as an educator. Being part of a child’s socialization is something that should be taken serious as the different agents shape the child’s behavior, morals, value, and other important attributes. Teachers, just as other socialization agents can help many aspects of a child’s life or it harm them. Families have their own set of customs, beliefs, values, morals, and these things are passed on their children. Through out our textbook we can see how this can become a problem when the child starts to associate with people that are not part of his or her family. Society sometimes imposes certain things that children sometimes do not understand. For example, when both parents raise a child and their values are different from that of the society in which they live in, people that are not part of their circle may misinterpret the child’s actions. In the child’s eyes, their actions are normal but to others this action might be something that is frowned upon in that particular society.…
(Culture and Development, 2012) Biological as well as cultural influences can encourage development in infants and toddlers. A child brought up in a loving and nurturing home will receive love and support through their life. Parents make a great impression on that child and can encourage them to make the best choices as they develop. A family life is part of nature and environment, which molds a child’s identity. (Culture and Development, 2014) There are however children that have supportive families but are not loved and nurtured. If a child misses this loving and nurturing aspect they might not do their best in something like their academics. Children need a supportive and loving home is develops their behaviors during the infant and toddler…
Education is a right that every child is intittled to under the UNCRC. The opportunities education provides are ways a child or young person can see will help them to achieve success and prosperity in their lives. Enabling solutions to be seen for when problems arise. Parent’s education and their feelings towards education impact on how a child may see the educational system. This cultural factor affects the child’s attitude to learning in particular settings, how they undertake homework and handle expectations a school environment may place on them. Families may not mean to pass their views onto a child such as expectations or even negative views on how a school may be wrong or a waste of time but when a child is brought up around these situations…
Recent travels to China have opened my eyes to both the flaws and the valuable parts of Chinese society and government. Much can be learned from the mistakes and successes of the Chinese society and government. The confucian ideals which started in China teach us the importance of respecting specific relationships, such as the priceless relationship between a subject and his ruler. From the Confucian time we also understand the importance of educational standards and morals, while the legalist ideals from ancient China show us the value in balance of punishment and reward. Furthermore, from Chinese government we can learn the significance of motivation to lead in a just, sensible, and ethical manner.…
Rigid and divisive views from adults can be reflected in a child’s choice of language and expressed beliefs about groups in society. Children soak up all information given to them and to atmospheres and climates surrounding them. The school must make sure that the children are surrounded with positive messages about their peers and their own importance in society.…
. It is with the aid of the older family members that he/she becomes familiar with social culture. It is through family that 'socially acceptable' ways of thinking and behaving are imparted to a child. Values such as sharing, honesty, impracticality, discipline, etc., are also cultivated in a person through his family. Therefore, it is vital how parents treat their children, and also how parents behave in front of them because it is through these interactions that a child will perceive and develop a sense of 'self'.…
In opposition to the view of human behaviour as being “innate” are the theories of behavioural development through socialisation. These theories stress the acquisition of language and social interaction throughout childhood as key determinates of an individual’s behaviour (Germov and Poole 2007). George Herbert Mead and John Piaget both developed theories of childhood development that sought to explain the acquisition of a sense of “self” – an essential part of the socialisation process. It is through socialisation that individuals learn the culture of their society, and in doing so learn how one is expected to behave based on that societies norms. Agents through which socialisation occurs are many, and have grown over time. Primary socialisation – that which occurs in early childhood mostly within an individuals family – shapes behaviour, but this is also built upon by secondary socialisation – which includes influences such as school, peers and increasingly the media and internet. All of these factors combine to influence an individuals behaviour, and these influences may differ widely based on environment – differing socioeconomic status, cultural practices, education levels and so on.…
As we grow as a part of family that we belong to, it always inspire values which are more practical than any other group. Although the social status, friends or any other hobby clubs can be alter in later life, all of these of groups are not changing much who we are.

One of the earliest forms of political influences in a person’s life is built in the home. A child begins to learn about morals and values at a very young age by the defining of “right and wrong”. The authoritative figure in the home is usually the primary factor in this. As a child grows up, most of the moral decision making is based on the example he or she has been given. Opinions are formulated off of these values. Imitation is also a basis of foundation for the development of personal decision making and beliefs. The child sees and hears the actions and opinions of its guardian and begins to replicate them. What has been taught as “right” is now a fundamental element in the child’s belief system. Since values are a significant part of political standpoint, these early stages in a person’s individual mental and moral growth is crucial to the reasoning behind the subtlety in political socialization.…
Rules of behaviour vary from country to country; children should be taught regarding their countries' traditions and customs. Children's behaviour and attitude need to be shaped as soon as possible. For instance, parents had better educate children about respect for the adults, good manner in communication and good virtues such as honesty, modesty as well. Therefore, when growing up, they will become well-behaved people who are always respected by others.…

Teaching moral values is very necessary for the all-round development of a person. It includes discipline, manners and etiquette, behavior, control over oneself, politeness, strength, patriotism, love and care for each other. It also includes speaking truth, no stealing, becoming a good citizen. Moral values are also necessary for developing healthy and friendly relations with everyone. Loss of moral values is a direct loss of the country. A child must be given moral education at an early stage. He must be taught the importance of moral, ethical and family values. By Family Values, we mean to have good thoughts, good intentions and good deeds, to love and to care for those whom we are close to and are part of our groups or communities, like parents and other family members and friends too. They must learn to treat others with the same set of values with which they wish to be treated. Ethical values define a set of principles of right conduct. A child must learn moral values in school, many of the schools teach the students to develop their character through books, moral stories, essays, plays .An easy and one of the best ways to impart moral set of values and principles in a child.
