In a way, people living within the same group of society would share the same culture, this includes language, myths, religion ceremonies, family life and so forth (Brockman, 2011). Therefore, the role of culture might influence the perceptions in health status between the ethnic groups; in which it is important for the healthcare professionals to explain the appropriate interventions in a person’s values and beliefs (Culley and Dyson, 2001). Everyday conduct is guided
Introduction Norms, values and socialisation are undoubtedly one of the most important fundamentals in sociology, and I have been fascinated by how these social factors affect and influence the “little man.” (Mills 1946) Throughout this short essay, I will explore these social factors influence the individual and society in the world in which we live. Norms Norms are an expectation about appropriate behaviour in a society. It is expected that those living within the society live up to and conform
adjust, adapt, associate and live in a society. This can be made possible through learning the norms and rules of the society. Socialisation takes place at different platforms such as primary, secondary and adult. The primary stage has to do with the socialisation of the young child in the family. The secondary stage involves the school and the third stage is adult socialisation.

created in our society and consists of many different views towards social values, roles and expectations. To greater understand how this exists in our society, stimulus 1’s concepts of culture and patriarchy will be explored and examined using the socialisation theory of dramaturgy. Contemporary Australia has been shaped by the cultural diversity of the community, cultures and lifestyles.

It is true that biologically, both children and adults are different; however each of the child’s experience for childhood will have an influence in their adult life. At present time, many researchers understand that adulthood is nothing but a reflection of childhood development.

Conflict theory states that tensions and conflicts arise when resources, status, and power are unevenly distributed between groups in society and that these conflicts become the engine for social change. In this context, Marx’s conflict approach was developed in 19th century by Karl Marx (1818-83) .Marx argued wealth and power were unequally distributed in society and sought to explain how one minority group (1% ruling-class) in society maintained its dominance over the majority (working-class).
