Keep in mind that the purpose of these reaction papers is to help you relate Sociology to your own experiences, and to see how Sociology is part of our everyday lives.
Assignment: Although we are only at the beginning of this class, think about what we’ve already discussed- things that have made you into the person that you’ve become. Think about an experience or a time in your life that you can reflect back on. How do Society, Culture, Social Influences, or Socialization come into play? Have you experienced socialization? Have you helped to socialize someone else? These are only examples of how you can address this reaction paper.
Please include FOUR key concepts from the lectures or chapters we have covered so far – any combination of this material is acceptable, but the key terms should be DIVERSE (for instance, you would not get credit for using “dyads” (a group of 2) as your first key term, and “triads” (a group of three) as your second key term).
Please include (and underline) the terms or concepts of your choice, a definition for the keywords you use, and an example of how each applies. No references are necessary for this paper.
1)dyads
2)triads
3)Behaviorism
4)Internalization
