After reading/watching the Learning Materials for this unit, respond to the following questions:
PERSONAL REFLECTION:
1. Describe your resocialization experience over the past two years. What, for you, has been smooth and what has been rough about your resocailziation experience since March 2020? This could be in any area of your social life that is appropriate for class discussion (and that you're comfortable sharing).
2. How has your stress or mood been impacted by the unexpected need to resocialize to new norms
ituals/ways of living? What have you done to try to create stability in your life? What supports would have helped you feel stable as you were/are resocializing?
CONNECTION TO COURSE LEARNING MATERIAL:
1. If you were going to perform a study on changes to the U.S. culture as a result of Covid19, which elements of culture (material; non-material; values; beliefs; language; symbols; norms) would you examine and why? Identify and describe at least 3 elements of culture that you have seen change due to Covid-19.
2. Let's use the functional theory to frame this question: Thinking about the stress of resocialization, if they were operating in an ideal way, which agents of socialization do you think have the most impact on reducing stress for members of society? Why? If an agent of socialization could be helpful, but is not cu
ently helping resocialize members of society - in your opinion, where is the
eakdown? What needs to happen within that dtysfunctioning agent of socialization? Your response must demonstrate that you understand the function of your chosen agent(s) of socialization. You may choose as many agents as you like.
