Thefamily
has the greatestimpact on
socialization. Infantsare
totally dependent on others,
and the
responsibility
to look after the young ones typically
falls on parents and
otherfamily members. It is a
matter
of
child survival.
There
is an automatic provision of learning
situations to the young ones. Family
begins the
lifelongprocess
of
defining ourselves of being male or
female and the child learns
the appropriate roles
associatedwith
his/hergender.
Who
we are? The perceptions about
ourselves and the
familystatus are conferred on
us. The class
position
of parents affects how they
raise their children.
Classposition shapes not
justhow much
money
parentshave
to spend, but what they expect of
their children. In the lowerclass
there is lot of emphasis
on
conformityand
obedience. The childrenare
told " Don't getinto
trouble." There is moreuse of
physical
punishment
in lower class than in
otherclasses. People of
lowerclass standing usually
havelimited
education
and perform routine jobs
under close supervision. They
expecttheir children will
holdsimilar
positions,
so they encourage obedience.
Well-offparents, with more
schooling, usually have
jobsthat
demandimagination
and creativity. They try to inspire the
same qualities in their children.
Therefore in the
middleclass
there is emphasis on developing curiosity,
self- expression, self-control, and
reasoning
