Answer 1

1.Most sorts of cultural or social forces impact how we think and behave :-
* Some societies aspects like values and norms affect our behaviour and thinking process.

* Norms are like some rules in the society and we have to follow them those rules.

* It can be like girls can't go outside for long time or in night, boys have to earn because he have to beer the expenses of their family in future etc.

* Culture is something which comes from history that is language, religion, education etc.

* There are many people with different religion, so they have different way of thinking, different occasions etc.

* Different cultural people know different languages. So they communicate in that languages. They learn that feom their childhood.

2. An example of a behavior that is impacted by socialization and cultural influences :-

* A girl who is born in that cultural family in which girls don't have to earn. She become adult and she got married and her husband will earn for her that is teaches in their culture. Only she have to study and nothing esle. So her thinking skills is restricted in her childhood, she always study only just for education not for future or their career. These things never make her develop. And it also affect on her mind. She always feel restrict bacause when she go school, she become socialize and her friends are not restricted to these things, then she also want to do those things. It affect her behaviour and thinking process.

3. Media and advertisement affect very badly on people. Because of high level of competition their is all production companies are focus on advertisement but sometimes it misleading the audience. Because which is showing in the advertisement is not true for example, an fairness cream show that cream makes people fair and that is not true and it also promotes racism because it shows that fairness is important. And people affected by these things.l because in the audience, there is child also available. They learn which they see.

In media there is movie, web series, t.v. serials are available. And that affect the audience. When they see a movie or etc, they become attached with that. They relating them with their self. Like if they see romantic movie, they try to think about their personal life and relate them and it affect is not finish after finishing the movie. And child who see the action movie who also think that they are hero and they try to fly or ect ehich is showing in the movie. There are some incedent happen because of these types of movie. Some child try to fly from their terrace. So these thinks also mislead the people.
