Essay / Essay on Socialization - 844
IntroductionSocialization is a process that children and adults acquire from others, like culture. Society still thinks that socialization is part of nature, but that's not true. In fact, it's a question of education. People develop over the course of their lives, as part of a process of social learning. Early childhood is the most important period of socialization since it is the first time that children learn knowledge about our culture. In the 21st and 21st centuries, our culture and our daily life through the media. In this new atmosphere, television, computer networks, movies and all these types of media have become central roles in children's daily lives. The media has become one of the main ways of obtaining information. These programs generally contain violent and sexual elements. “The study showed that more than 60% of programs contain some violence, and about 40% of them contain strong violence. “(1) For example, Game Master (心戰) and When the Sky Burns (天與地) from TVB. This has a destructive effect on the public, especially on the growth behavior of children. Analysis (Figure 1 Average weekly television viewing time by children from Ofcom) Television is a means of socialization that provides impersonal communication to the audience. Nowadays, many children discover the world of television very early. They spend a lot of time watching television every day and their average viewership is increasing every year, especially among children aged 4 to 9. This shows that television is part of their life activity. Children spend on average between 3 and 4 hours a day watching television.

Accordingly, the level of education can influence the choice of program for oneself. Apart from this, school can expand children's social network to meet different people. Children tend to learn from the teacher and play with a group, they will communicate and develop confidence through interaction with others. ConclusionIn my opinion, televisions play a vital role in the socialization process. From the data, it seems that television can directly affect children since they are still in the undergrowth. Additionally, they can have long-term influence from different varieties of programs. Although violent and sexual shows will affect viewers, I don't think it will affect everyone the same way. This is because there are other reasons that can affect the socialization process, like parents and school that I mentioned before..
