Give at least one example of how each of the major agents of socialization (family, school, peer groups, and media) shaped the person you are today, particularly in regard to your statuses and roles

Answer:

Okay I don't personally know you so I will give you rather broad examples.

My family has influenced me by always giving me a place where I feel safe, a support system I know I will always have with me, and important relationships which I plan on keeping forever, this helps me with relationships apart from my family.

My school has taught me everything I know thus far. With knowledge comes success. It gives me a place to be social.

My friends/peer groups have supported me through many hardships in my life. I know I can count on them for their support and acceptance. They make me feel like I have a place to belong, which is what everyone deserves. They have taught me the way I should be treated, and to never settle for less than that from anyone.

Social media, in particular, can positively and negatively influence your life. For me I use it to make friends with people who I would never meet in real life. This gives me a sense of being social and making new friends. Social media has also negatively influenced me in the sense that people can be harsh, and that damages your self confidence sometimes.

I really hope this is what you meant, and that it helps you/anyone else. I wrote this all myself so anyone can use it :)
