You may find it useful to underline or highlight concepts as you write and reframe the above questions. For example, “One agent of socialization that shaped my behavior is the mass media. I had a sense of how I should behave from observing norms about how to act when I was fired from having watched numerous films and TV programs. For example, in the series….” In the above example, you would analyze how the mass media as a socialization agent helped shaped your cultural response of proper or improper norms of behavior after being fired. • Cite specific instances of your use of Conley, like this: (Conley, p. 101).
