Socialization Modes

Socialization is very important in the family structure and is one factor that is investigated in the journal article. With the economy and other contributing factors, socialization is being transformed and redefined as more common.. A single parent home was once a rare occurrence but now it almost has became a social norm. In my opinion, there are four socialization modes that people posses, work, family, race and cultural diverse socializations. The work mode is the most formal to me because, work socialization has the most rules of any other socialization's mode. An example of this is that you must be careful in your mannerism and things that you say. Being kind and engaging in more adult themed conversation can be perceived as an advancement or sexual harassment. In other socialization settings the content and theme of this same conversation  may be perceived in the same manner but not as offensive. This alternate setting saves you from a possible sexual harassment charge that may have occurred  with the work socialization mode. In addition I feel this is the only mode where the socialization is defined and some time is a requirement for employment. Many people may consider this a more professional or sterile environment. Next is family socialization, it is often uncontrollable, it starts when you are born and continues after you are dead. The family mode is one that you will feel the most comfortable in because you have been in the mode for a good portion of your life. Then there is sometime family mode is though on you when you are not meeting or not archiving the mode standards. The race mood is almost like family but it is sometimes difficult because there are no written rules you live according to your beliefs and what you are accustom to until faced with adversity because of them. An example of this is that African Americans call each other niggers but are very uncomfortable if used by other races especially Caucasians, due to the history between the two. Last but not least is cultural diverse socialization mode this is the one I feel needs the most work. With many ways to express yourself  you have to use this one more often now than ever .Some may fill that foreigners that are becoming the majority should be required to learn English, but being the host country we are often encouraged to learn their dialect.  You can post a status like “Where my Niggas at?” and start a fire storm. So you have to be mindful that it take only one screen shot to mess up your representation
