Question

Discuss the meaning of conscious and unconscious socialization in sociology on notes

Answer 1

The act of adapting behavior to the norms of a culture or societyis called socialization.Socialization can also mean going out and meeting people or hanging out with friends. The word socialization can mean "the process of making social."

Answer 2

Being social can be both conscious and unconscious.

When we are with the family members or in school, the behaviours children generate are mostly considered under conscious behaviour.

Here, parents and teachers guide their children n how to behave and the difference between right and wrong, while unconscious socialization is generated when the same children interact with strangers.

Here, their behaviours to different people have different impact and no rule is followed.

It is totally unconscious of how do we meet strangers and make them a friend.

While conscious socialization occurs due to the constant teaching of parents and teachers, unconscious socialization occurs through mass media.
