One of the biggest agents of socialization is the media
because it is a 24 hour influence. Anybody can turn on a TV at any time during
any day and there will be tons of stuff on. We learn “what is cool” from media
such as TV shows, movies, and even social media. “What is cool” is constantly
evolving causing society to never catch up. Media even goes as far as to tell
us what is funny by putting laughter in the shows we watch. Another part of
socialization we get from media is our gender roles. Just by watching any TV
program, you can easily pick up on stereotypes for gender, race or sexuality.
