Chapter two in the textbook Reflect & Relate an Introduction to Interpersonal Communication by Steven McCornack talks all about what “self” is and how to achieve complete fulfillment for one’s self which is also known as self-actualization. The components of self, as described in the book are, “ . . . self-awareness, self-concept, and self-esteem” (McCornack 39). Self-awareness is the idea in which one can take a moment to move feelings, beliefs, and other external influences aside and just evaluate oneself in a holistic perspective that is not skewed by opinions of others, etc. Having the ability to actually think about who one is brings a lot of power and mental stability in such a way that allows for improvement.
In a society that’s ultimate goal is to conform it’s people, I have still managed to become an individual through mannerisms and accents, predicted failure, and stereotypes. These things have evolved me to become the individual that I am today. For most of my youth life I was embarrassed of my parents. Their mannerisms and accents were a constant struggle to explain to my friends.
Political socialization is a process by which people form ideas about politics and acquire political values. To me my political socialization growing up, my family was very much into politics. My Grandparents and mother strongly believe in politics and getting involved in them as much as possible. As I've grown up I don't like politics much. I really do not understand them.
A multitude of socializing agents led me to attend the college at SUNY Cortland. Function, my statuses and roles, and socializing agents are social forces that contributed to my decision of attending SUNY Cortland. The functional perspective states that function is the “contribution a part makes to maintain stability of an existing social order” (Ferrante 21). Clearly, college participates in the function of American society; otherwise many students would not further their education. Positions in society created by humans are statuses (Ferrante 82).
According to Erin Long-Crowell, a social role defines a set of behaviors that are expected of someone who holds a particular status. People often react differently with one another depending on the social role they play, and their social role varies from person to person. The level of intimacy between individuals and the positive benefits of those relationships determine the accuracy to determine one’s overall personality. One individual can embrace multiple roles at the same time by being a devoted son, a loving father, a caring and supporting partner, a reliable brother and trusted friend. The relationship establishes between a son and a mother takes to time to arrive at mature developmental stager, where the mother nurtures the child,
For example, my status in my family is that of a wife and a mother. With these two statuses my role is to care, and cook for my husband and children. My role also involves making decisions and planning for my
Introduction As I completed the readings and the recent role checklist I reflected back upon the different role changes that I've experienced throughout my life. I realized from these reflections that with the role changes, the importance of various values and things changed in conjunction with these role changes. Changing my roles also changed the occupations that I was involved in; some occupations disappeared while new ones were added during the occupational transitions. These role changes included many personal and contextual factors that influenced them. I also found that in my life with each new role I added, or subtracted, a new occupational balance had to be found.
Criticism on Social Learning Theory Introduction Social learning theory is a theory related to classical and operant conditioning, which proposed by Albert Bandura in 1977. According to Albert Bandura, people are active agents in learning while they use cognition and social interaction in learning (Rogers, 2010). Albert Bandura considered that people are living in the environment, therefore, human behavior should be studied in social context rather than in laboratory (Bandura, 1977).

Psychology is defined as “the scientific study of the mind and behavior” (Introduction to Psychology, 2015). Psychology provides an overview of biology and behavior, sensation and perception, learning, memory, intelligence, language, motivation, emotion, abnormal psychology, and therapy (PSY 102 Course Syllabus, 2018, pg 1). Because psychology allows for a better understanding of how the mind and body work, this knowledge can be beneficial for any field of study or career. The theoretical and practical understanding of the basics of psychology can help with decision-making, critical thinking, stress management, time management, better understanding of others, improving communication, and even achieving goals and objectives, all components that allow someone to be more successful throughout their life. Throughout this course I hope to gain a greater understanding of historical and theoretical perspectives of human behavior and development (PSY 102 Course Syllabus, 2018, pg 2).
The self can be defined as ‘an organised, consistent set of perceptions of and beliefs about oneself’ (Passer, Smith, Holt, Bremner, Sutherland & Vliek, 2009, p676). We should aim to understand ourselves, learn know how we function

The sudden emergence of children market as the most lucrative and formidable one can be traced back to the subtle and sublime socialization of customer happened over a period few decades. The socialization of the customer is considered as one of the most important tool to study the consumer behaviour. (Ward, 1974). The socialization of customer reveals the process of consumers acquiring the relevant skills, knowledge, behaviour, cognition and attitudes necessary to act efficiently in the market as a consumer. This process of socialization of children as customer is totally different from decade to decade as each period of time introduces the new agents of change.
