Using the knowledge generated from class discussions, videos, and readings, write a paper (minimum 5 pages) responding to the following guidance:

Using Mill’s sociological imagination perspective, identify, discuss / analyze the relationship between culture and socialization. Please begin with a description of the notion of culture (i.e., what is culture?) and different components, followed by a discussion regarding the way culture affects the socialization process and the other way around. Provide examples of how the relationship between culture and socialization has been reflected in your personal and professional life. You need to also consider the levels of analysis (i.e., micro, mezzo, and macro) used by sociologists to study and understand our social world.

Again, responses provided in your essay need to integrate content from the readings, class lectures -discussions, and videos. Responses must be clear, well-organized, and concrete / descriptive. Responses must be supported by a rationale / descriptive analysis. A good rationale / descriptive analysis is often strengthened by the use of examples. The paper needs to have an introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion. Have fun, you have this!
