UC Human Development Sociological Theories & Socialization Questions

I’m working on a sociology writing question and need the explanation and answer to help me learn.

Please explain the ideas in your own words, discuss your perspective on the questions, and use examples when relevant. 

1. What does “socialization” mean? Why is the family considered by most sociologists and psychologists to be the most important agent of socialization? Do you agree? What do you think are some other significant agents of socialization? 

2. Do you think human beings are a product of nature, nurture, or both? How so? Try and develop your response with some concrete examples. 

3. Why does Carol Gilligan think that gender impacts social and moral development? Do you agree? Why or why not? Try and develop your response with some concrete examples. 

4. Consider the four main psychological and sociological theories of human development and socialization. Which do you find the most compelling, and why? Be sure to briefly explain the theory you chose in your response.
