Culture and Socialization

Q For the assignment, you will write a minimum of three paragraphs sharing your thoughts on socialization at this point in this course. What are the 7 Agents of Socialization listed in your textbook?

NOTE: This is an academic writing assignment, meaning that you should write an essay following proper writing mechanics (i.e., introduction, body, and conclusion). You should NOT just list the questions and then just write an answer. If information is used from outside sources, including the course textbook, you should follow proper APA formatting, providing appropriate intext citations and a References section. No file attachments are allowed! Type or cut-and-paste your essay accordingly in the provided text box. DO NOT PLAGIARIZE! If you plagiarize, you will be reprimanded according to the Academic Dishonesty Policy in the course! If you have not done so already, refer to the proper APA formatting materials to learn how to apply APA formatting correctly. Some resources were provided in Dr. Scott's Course Policies and Expectations.
