What is socialization and social placement function?

Answer 1

These are two functions of the family unit.

Socialization is a process of learning (through interaction with others) behaviors which are appropriate and essential for social life. You may have heard someone make the comment "he/she has no social skills" about an individual who has difficulty interacting appropriately with others or in certain environments. It may be that he/she was not properly socialized.

Social placement has to do with people's statuses in society. It can involve race, ethnicity, religion, economic status, class, nationality, occupation, family roles.

Our families provide us with our initial social placement. For instance, one may be born into a white, Irish, Catholic family in which the mother is a politician and the father is a lawyer. Our social placement will affect almost every aspect of our lives - our beliefs, our values, our preferences, etc.
