There are several agents of socialization; three of them are family, religion, and the workplace. Family is the most important of the social agents. A persons coming into society can be a negative one or a positive one and it begins with the relationships that person has at home. A person who is loved and nurtured at home is more than likely to grow into a loving and nurturing person and a productive person in society. A person who is neglected and not cared for at home has a greater chance of being a negative part of society.

I believed it to be dragging and many times protested against it, but besides it being tiring, I also felt embarrassed. Yeah embarrassed of having to deal with my parents and not being able to communicate with them like other kids did with their parents.

Everyone in life grows up with their own distinct family values and family norms. According to James Henslin, values are the standards by which people define what is desirable or undesirable to them, and norms are the expectations of what is “right,” which develop from our own values. The way people determine what is right or wrong are by the sanctions they receive, which are the expressions of approval or disapproval for what they have done. All societies in the world develop their own expectations for behavior that eventually become part of the shared culture we live in today. Along with our shared culture and own family values and norms, exist what are called folkways and mores. Folkways are norms that are not strictly enforced to everyone.…
