Choose two agents of socialization presented in Chapter 4: family, teachers, peers, religion, work, mass media, or a total institution.  (If you are writing about a total institution, please be sure to identify it as such and demonstrate that it fits into the category of a "total institution".)

Discuss the various ways that your chosen agents influence us.  Give concrete examples.  Consider both the negative and positive aspects of socialization for each of your chosen agents.  (Your response should show an understanding of the term "socialization".)
