Over the past week we have learned about gender and how our society tries to push us to either one side of the spectrum or the other. Where their can't be anything in between like being gay or bisexual. The agents of socialization play a role in my experience from when I was a kid I was taught to be very manly and if I wasn't I was out of the social norm. I remember my parents would always tell me when I used to cry "don't be a girl, you can handle it your a man". Kids are taught from birth that there on one side of the spectrum or the other. Through the movie tough gusie2 I realized how much this country uses violence to get the attention of men and how much men love to watch it. Also about how people won't recognize male gender as a problem toward mass shootings and try to blame it on other things.

Lately we have learned the socialization process by which we become fully human. Also about nature and nurture. Nature is what is unchangeable like our genes and biology. Nurture is other people awareness and social environment. We learned about the example of Genie who was never nurtured as a child and therefore when she was older had the mind of an infant couldn't talk, eat, or walk. Some people think that eating is something were born how to do but really it is something we learn from watching others around us eat. agents of socialization is something that effects you as an individual thus society as a whole. I am thankful for my parents to have nurtured me the way they did. We also learned how the media plays on children’s emotions to get them to buy their product. Also on how the media changes everything well your watching their show to keep your attention. While trying to count the number of technical events I lost count within 5 minutes.
