Title: THEORIES of SOCIALIZATION


1
THEORIES of SOCIALIZATION
  • MSAN Sociology Seminar
  • Unit 3

2
Functionalism
  • Consensus Theory
  • Derived from Durkheim, Parsons Merton
  • Stresses how socialization contributes to a
    stable society.
  • Based on premise that all aspects of society
    institutions, roles, norms all serve a purpose
    and that all are indispensible for the long term
    survival

Conflict Theory
  • Power Conflict Theory
  • Derived from Karl Marx Max Webber
  • Views Socialization as a way for the powerful to
    preserve the status quo.
  • Conflict is ongoing, persistent and a fundamental
    part of our society.

4
Symbolic Interactionism
  • Interaction Interpretation Theory
  • Derived from Blumer, Mead, Goffman
  • Holds that socialization is a major determinant
    of human nature.
  • Human behavior is determined not only by the
    objective facts of a situation but also by how
    people define that situation that is, by the
    meaning they attribute to it.

Eriksons 8 Stages of Development
  • Erik Erikson a psychoanalyst who believed that
    human development was determined by the
    interaction of the body (genetic) AND cultural
    influences.
  • Theory describes the physical, emotional and
    psychological stages of development and relates
    specific issues, or developmental work/tasks, to
    each stage.

Cycle of Socialization
  • Developed by Bobbie Harro.
  • The socialization process if PERVASIVE (coming
    from all sides and sources), CONSISTENT
    (patterned and predictable), CIRCULAR
    (self-supporting), SELF-PERPETUATING
    (intra-dependent) and often INVISABLE
    (unconscious and unnamed).

Cycle of Liberation
  • Cycle of Socialization teaches us how to play
    our roles of oppression, and how to revere the
    existing systems that shape our thinking.
  • Cycle of Liberation describes a cyclical process
    that seems to occur in most successful social
    change efforts, leading to some degree of
    liberation from oppression for those involved.
