I believe that most of us have been influenced since a very young age by the …show more content…

It could be the way we feel, think, or act in a specific situation. The reason behind this is due to the fact that we are all different and we don’t all have the same level of acceptance towards others. Therefore, we all tend to criticize based on our own opinions. This brings me to the conclusion that our American socialization has been established upon our sense of judgment.

As a result, they give great importance to their physical image rather than their own health.

When in reality, they should be more concerned about improving their unconditional self-acceptance. Again, this has been occurring because of the ideas our society has created and influenced upon

According to Burack, people of different genders behave differently not due to biological factors, but due to socialization that teaches individuals to behave in a particular way in order to belong to a certain gender. For example, women may tend to be nurturing, not because they are biologically programed to be caretakers, but as a result of society teaching them through toys and media to act as mothers. In this way, gender becomes a performance based on expectations rather than natural behaviors or biology, a phenomenon called “doing

  • Men And Women In Conversation Deborah Tannen Analysis

    The fact that gender-differentiated socialization exists in society cannot be disputed. Equally, to find that differences do emerge with regard to speaking styles between men and women is not surprising. However, by failing to associate gender arrangements to the power arrangements that they promote and enforce is naïve in an intellectual way. Considering the highly integrated lives of the American men and women, to assign full-fledged cultural status to patterns that emerge out of socialization is of doubtful validity. Besides, Tannen moves from the initial premise that boys and girls grow up in two distinct cultures, which is a disputed fact, to the questionable claim that problems with communication between adult males and females are equivalent to other types of cross-cultural miscommunication.
