The textbook mentions how we are socialized by our families, schools, and peer groups. For your next post, please give some examples of how you've been socialized by one (or all) of these social units.
How did your parents raise you? What values did they teach you (and how)? Can you remember any cases where you were disciplined by your teachers? Why? What happened? etc
As a foreigner, I was surprised to hear about how much responsibility schools have to take in the upbringing of children in Japan. In my culture, parents are the ones who take ultimate responsibility for the way their children behave. It seemed to me that parents in Japan expect too much of schools. The "monster parents" that Japanese teachers sometimes talk about are pretty scary. I also remember a case a few years ago when a Kansai University student died because he fell off a balcony in Osaka somewhere because he'd been taking drugs, and the university president had to appear on TV and apologize for Kandai's "mistake". Unbelievable! (for me).
