Parrillo
According to Parrillo the socialization process is when “individuals acquire the values, attitudes, and beliefs, and perceptions of their culture or subculture, including religion, nationality, and social class. Generally, the child conforms to the parents’ expectations in acquiring an understanding of the world and its people.” The process goes on talking about how children are impressionable and accept the parents values without question knowing no better. Thus we learn prejudices of our parents and others, which eventually become our own beliefs and values. Then when we grow up we unknowingly shape our judgments on these prejudices, even if false, with sometimes out even knowing. I believe that this is true. When we are children we learn from and act like our parents It is nature for us to learn from them. When you are little you don’t know what is right or wrong and you don’t have any prejudices when you are born. Being prejudice is something that is taught and not something you were born with. So I believe that we inherently learn our prejudices from our parents and use them in our daily lives and own personalities.
