Assignment:
Brieflyt describe two significant values that persist in American culture. Next, and in about two paragraphs, discuss how these values may have influenced the way you were socialized while growing up. (Remember that socialization occurs within the family, among peers, at school, at work, etc.) Finally, reflect upon your adult life thus far: to what extent have these two values influenced the way you attempt to socialize others (i.e., at work, within your own family context, within your friendships, etc.)?
