Caring for Others

Socialization touches every aspect of our lives. It’s through socialization that we learn the norms, values, and beliefs of our culture and the groups we belong to. Agents of socialization such as the family, religion, and peers teach us how to live in the world and how to view the world, but not everyone is socialized the same. One thing we learn from those around us is how much we are supposed to care about others versus how much we should invest in self-interest. Men and women are socialized to care in different ways and to express concern for others in different ways, as well. So, what do you think?
