What is socialization and how does it affect your life and our society? Socialization is how culture is learned and how we find out why we`re full human and how we connect to our selves and with other people around us. Socialization has affected my life in both positive ways and negative ways and its also help me sort of find my inner self and that I just have to accept myself and theres no one like me except me. I think that socialization has affected our society in many ways. For example foul childeren, these childeren didnt have a posititve soialization with any one because they didnt have any human contact or seen a human before and they dont know how to act and how to behave around people or talk with them. Childeren need good socailzation because thats how the new comers learn from us on how to act or talk and learn important things to know in the future and how to grow up.
My socialization essay was about how I`ve been socialized negatively and positively with my background culture. The symbols that I put on my mask symbolizes what is important to me and that what I`ve been doing for a long time and why its important to me. The symbols that I put on my mask were a running shoe and a medicine pouch, teepee ,feather, and Go-Ji-Ya. All these symbols are all positive symbols because they`ve been in my life for a long time and I love doing each one of them . The shoe represents that I`m a runner and I do lots of running sports and its how I get in my state of flow. For the medicine pouch I put that on there because I`ve had one for a long time and it`s just spouce to keep me safe and to protect me from getting hurt and to keep me health. On the bottom there is a teepee and that represents a traditional home. The feather was to represent a connection with the nature because I love nature and that I would rather be outside than inside. The one down the middle represents Go-Ji-Ya and Go-Ji-Ya is a tradition on my Apache side and its pretty much a spiritual run and a growing up thing that only the males do.
I think we went as a class by helping each other out because we would help our class mates on our mask and essays. For example we helped each other out by asking our class mates what we should do and what we could change like when kids asked us what we should add to our mask and what we could improve on. Also for the essay we lute our class mates to read our essay and what they liked about it and what we should change or improve on. The important techniques and ideas that I learned was too trust your class mates and that some times you just need another persons perspective on things and their ideas and advice.
I am proud of myself making new friends at Animas high school and getting to have a pretty good connection with my teachers and that I am proud of going to Animas high school. I am hoping to improve one my time management and getting to be more social with all of my class mates because I`m kind of a quiet person. I also hope that I can improve on my writing skills because there kind of rusty right now and to improve on my running and my times for cross country and to always have a positive attitude.
