The show SpongeBob SquarePants plays a profound role in socialization. Children and young adults imitate SpongeBob SquarePants in different ways. During the imitation stage, young people tend to mimic behaviors and what they see without fully comprehending what they are doing. For example, an article by CBSNEWS said “An 8-year-old New Jersey boy saved his 5-year-old neighbor from drowning last weekend with a technique he says he learned from the Nickelodeon cartoon SpongeBob SquarePants”. Likewise, they also tend to generalize themselves with SpongeBob SquarePants. To generalize, means that you evaluate yourself and can comprehend the viewpoints of others. For instance, SpongeBob fails the drivers license test numerous of times, however he
The audience was first introduced to Spongebob Squarepants in 1989. Spongebob started becoming a series in 1996. Spongebob was created by Stephen Hillenburg. Spongebob has this sort of childish behavior that makes him be gullible. He believes everything they tell him. Spongebob Squarepants gullibleness separates him from all the character. That makes him very unique because he’s not like the rest. He's very optimistic, good-natured, and naive. The audience gets to love spongbob because of his enthusiasm and gullibleness. In one of his episodes he believes there is such things as a bear fish. He gets really frightened about it because he's very gullible. Spongebob Squarepants has a neighbor that really doesn't like him so sometimes he tells him things that would scare him off because he knows Spongebob would believe him. Like Spongebob Squarepants, I too am gullible at times. I have some similarities as Spongebob. I'm very optimistic and gullible just like Spongebob. Even though I don't get scared when people tell him such and such exist. I would believe that they exist but not be scared of it. When there is a problem i'm very optimistic about it just like SpongeBob is when there is a problem. For some people i don't look like i'm 18 years old. That I still have some childish ways that I do, just like Spongebob. I might seem childish and that I need to grow up, but i see myself as a gullible person and optimistic. To be honest, I don't really mind what they say. There are some similarities with Spongebob and I. As much as Spongebob is optimistic and gullible, i too like that. As for me, I like being optimistic when there is a problem. I like being gullible when it comes to supernatural things like God and miracles etc. I feel like people that are optimistic are people that are very strong. I like those types
Socialization plays in important part in the passing on of culture from generation to generation. It is defined as the lifelong process of social interaction through which we acquire a self-identity and the skills needed for survival. The agents of socialization provide the necessary social interactions to teach culture to individuals in a society. The four primary agents of socialization include parents, education, peers, and media. The most pervasive one, media, has a major role in teaching messages about the norms in culture. The purpose of this project was to observe the subtle messages that a TV series, like The Simpsons, send about gender, class, disability/ability, and age.
Early Friday morning, Lisa awoke with her plan in her hand. She would officially end Bart's behavior. She started with the concept of Social Learning. Lisa believes that Bart behaves the way he does because of his favorite show: Itchy and Scratchy. Two factors that determine this learning are attention and motor reproduction. The show is his favorite therefore it keeps Bart's attention.
Think of a children’s movie or two. Maybe a Disney or Pixar movie first comes to mind; or maybe a movie with “real” actors. Who are the good guys in this movie? Who are the bad? This should be easy to answer given a basic knowledge of the movie. Now who are the “good guys and bad guys” in life? Not as easy to answer. Of course, comparing fictional stereotypes to real people does not make all that much sense. Most people can obviously tell the difference between watching a movie and events happening in life. The distinction is clear. Yet children are different. They can still distinguish from the fictional and reality, but are more exposed to and influenced by the portrayals movies can impose.
Bandura’s social cognitive theory, relates to the way Student A acts. Bandura’s theory focuses on observational learning like imitating and modeling, which Student A does through out the days I have observed. When the teacher teaches her how to say a word, student A imitates the lip movement and sounds the teacher makes. “People acquire a wide range of behaviors, thought, and feelings through observing others’ behaviors and that these observations form an important part of children’s development” (Santrock, 2010, p. 31). As I observed Student A, I saw how she always focused on what the teacher was doing, she would do exactly what the teacher was doing, on my fourth observation, when they were doing math, student A was doing exactly
I think many ways young children could acquire knowledge and watching these types of programming could be a way for them to learn. These types of shows intrigue young children and I believe that these shows have a lot to offer for young children. Commercial and public programming both has the same goals of promoting social-emotional to young children. They want to make sure children understand and manage their emotions the right way, develop social skills, how to share, learn about the past, and many more. In the show, Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood His pet fish died but his parent told him that it is okay to be sad but there are ways that he could feel better. They claim that asking questions, drawing, and doing something you enjoy doing will help. I believe that their goal in this episode was to understand and manage emotions because it introduces different ways children could deal with similar situations. These shows are also promoting social skills that are necessary for school and life. I believe that it is important for young children to watch these types of shows because they will acquire knowledge and at the same have fun
Social Cognitive theory is a learning theory, in light of individuals with new practices can be, learned by watching others. They learn by watching others and copying a model. This theory is established from behaviorism, in light of the fact that the theory manages subjective and enthusiastic parts of somebody 's conduct from watching and watching for comprehension behavioral change.

General socialization begins in childhood with our parents and grandparents or caretakers. Simple verbal and nonverbal interactions taking place between those closest to us and our world around us creates ideas and beliefs and coach us in how we should react to our environment. General socialization can be seen when children are punished for being inappropriate or impolite, or when their behaviors are reinforced by authority figures around them. Growing up in a conservative home, one may ...
Through socialization, we learn what is expected of our behavior and appearance. We follow the rules that we learn through the different stages of our life from our friends, family members and those we interact with. How receptive of those rules and guidelines affects whether or not the socialization remains unchanged or altered for the future of the society or culture. Popular movies can have an effect on that change and how we act. For example, the feel good Disney cartoon Mulan tells us that it is acceptable to make decisions that break away from society’s rules.
The definition of the social learning theory is People learn through observing others’ behavior, attitudes, and outcomes of those behaviors. “Most human behavior is learned observationally through modeling: from observing others, one forms an idea of how new behaviors are performed, and on later occasions this coded information serves as a guide for action.” (Learning Theories Knowledgebase ). Most people learn through watching other. As a child, we learn by mocking what we have observed repeatedly. This is how we learn to walk, talk, speak, and to feed ourselves. We also learn social skills from the people around us. We learn right from wrong, we learn what is acceptable in our everyday lives. We also learn societal norms. Most children learn social norms from the family structure. If the family structure is broken or not complete it may cause problems for the children. If the family has only one parent then the family unit suffers. If the child is part of a family that has deviant problems then the child learns that these problems are the norm. This could lead to the child to think that drinking or drugs are normal. It is also a factor if the child observes crime in the family unit. The child learns that crime is normal until they run up against society who states otherwise.
Behavior and social learning are two theories that are inherently intertwined. Behavior to some extent is taught for social reasons, and social learning can very much shape and create behaviors. While behavior is something intentionally taught, social learning can teach and reinforce many unintentional behaviors, such as dishonesty or aggression. In order to adequately discuss these two interrelated topics, theory exploration is in order.
Television has a big influence on children because many, if not all watch television, especially in the United States. This relates to the term “socialization” because it is a societal norm to watch television, and many children just have to deal with
Children’s brains can be considered sponges because it’s able to suck up a vast amount of information and store it with ease. The only dilemma that many are having is finding the best way to help them use the information they’ve gathered whether its threw spoken advice, parents’ actions or guidance or through the child’s own personal experience. There are many kids who have gained and have been able to implement their knowledge without the help of others, but there are still those few that need a bit of assistance. A parent’s guidance is very important as well, but their main objective is to nurture and take care of their kids and not teach, but certain activities such as cooking is something that parents have to teach their kids in order to survive. Whereas most parents believe that kids can learn doing other activities on their own like riding a bike or doing chores. Spoken advise doesn’t really teach a child to do something rather than it gives
Socialization is the process of passing down norms, customs, and ideologies that are important to the society by the previous generations to the younger generations. The school system is a social agency that was created to enhance the processes of socialization through education. The importance of school as an agent of socialization can be best explained by the amount of time students spend in school and in activities happen around school. The manifest functions of school are to educate students the social norms, and the knowledge and skills that help them become economically productive in order to benefit the society. But students not only learn from the academic curriculum but they also benefit from socialize with their teachers and peers.
