in what ways did your socialization through at least two socializing agents influence or encourage you to attend college
Socialization is an important aspect in the life of a person. The socialization that we receive in the childhood has a lasting effect on our ability to interact with others in the society.
There are many socialization agents,but in which two main agents that help a student to attend college I think are,
Home or the family: Every child is born to a particular family. The home or family is the first social agency with which child comes in to contact. Interaction with other members of the family,parei, siblings have lasting influence on personality of the child. These qualities of a child will help to interact with other persons with different families in the society.. So child will be interested to know the problems and needs of society.. so while going to college or institutions he is getting a good chance to understand many of his colleagues with different cultures and beliefs.So a student can easily adjust with new environment in the college and he will be more encouraged to konw new aspect of socialization.
The Peer group: Peer groups means the group of individuals with whome a child interacts. This can be a classroom group or any group of people with almost same age and growth level. The role of peer group in the process of socialization is significant enough. So while a student goes to college,he will get a good opportunity to interact with same age group of peoples,this will help him in the development of interests, values and communication style. Especially in the case of students who stays in hostel get chance to know each other,so they will be more interested to attend classes and learn.
