Question

Julius has been part of a street gang in the city in which he lives since he was very young. The gang is not violent and serves as a support system for Julius. He has a good relationship with his family as well. He goes to the local college and has remained a member of the gang. Mahmoud also goes to college and has joined a fraternity. He really enjoys the fraternity and has been playing an active role. Mahmoud also has a good relationship with his family. When comparing these two subcultures, which one is more likely to be an important agent of socialization

Answer 1

Answer: Both the gang and the fraternity can play equally significant roles as socializing agents.

Step-by-step explanation:

Socialization is when the norms and the ideologies of the society are internalized. It is when a society learns to adjust to a group and then behave in a manner that will be approved by the group.

In this case, both the gang and the fraternity can play equally significant roles as socializing agents. They can impress social norms on both Julius and Mahmoud. Other agents of socialization are the family, peer groups, religion, etc.
