The Theory Of Socialization

The Theory of Socialization: A Syllabus of Sociological Principles (1897) is a seminal work by Franklin Henry Giddings, an American sociologist and professor at Columbia University. The book presents a comprehensive overview of the principles of socialization, which refers to the process by which individuals acquire the norms, values, and beliefs of their society. Giddings begins by defining socialization and its role in the formation of social structures and institutions. He then examines the various factors that influence socialization, including family, education, religion, and the media. He also explores the ways in which socialization varies across different cultures and historical periods. The book is organized as a syllabus, with each chapter covering a specific topic and including a list of suggested readings for further study. Giddings' writing style is clear and concise, making the book accessible to both students and scholars. Overall, The Theory of Socialization is a foundational work in the field of sociology and remains relevant today for its insights into how individuals become socialized and how societies are formed and maintained.For The Use Of College And University Classes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
