Agents of Socialization

Nobody hands you a rulebook for being a person in this society. Instead, a handful of groups and institutions teach it to you — mostly without announcing that they are teaching. Four do the heavy lifting: the family you're born into, the school you're sent to, the peers you pick, and the media that reach you anyway. Tap each one, then read the same arrow through three different lenses.
