Sociology and its different types of Concepts Sociology is part of every people’s life and people cannot go through their life or day without socializing with other. People use Agents of Socialization, Race/Ethnicity, Socialization, Stereotype, and Life Chances to socialize with other people. As we use this concepts to socialize with other people, at the same time we learn what it truly meant in our society. One of the Agents of Socialization is Family. As a child growing up my family has told me a lot of things about politics. That is why I would say that my family has influenced me on my political views. My parents has told me that they wanted to do things more of a traditional right of way, but if a changed has to be made then they would go with it because in a society we are living there a lot of things that are happenings that we can’t always preserve the traditional rights. For example the shooting massacre that has happened at different school the last few years has really gotten the attention of our family. My family would say it is okay to keep a gun only for self-defense, but if people start using it for different purposes then it literally raises some question about having more of a strict gun law or not. Like my dad says he would like to see a change in gun control after all those massacre that has happened especially after the Connecticut elementary shooting. Having a gun means you have to be really responsible and a mature adult, because you can’t just carry a gun around the work and always say it is for a self-defense. In the world we live in people are from different Race/Ethnicity some people say they can tell if a person is Asian because the he or she looks, but skin color, and physical appearance cannot justify one’s race. But Race is not a biological but instead a social construct while Ethnicity is related to cultural factors like Language, Ancestry,
