Gender Socialization And Its Affects On Society Society channels our behaviors through gender socialization. By expecting different attitudes and behaviors from us because we are male or female, we humans nudge boys and girls in separate directions in life. This foundation is so deeply instilled that, as adults, most of us act, think, and even feel according to our culture's guidelines of what is appropriate for our sex. Evidence of this can be seen in interaction between human beings, and is expressed through such agents as the mass media and literature. The family is the initial agent that begins the socialization process. Parents relay messages of gender norms and roles to their children, sometimes without even realizing it, because these concepts are so thoroughly instilled. The mass media is a very strong agent of gender socialization.
