Socialization

 For this blog topic,I am going to talk about this TV show that was aired on ABC family known as “Kyle Xy”.  This show is about a guy who woke up in the woods with no clothes on. He had no idea who he was or what his name was. He was wandering around in the woods and ended up in the city. People kept staring at him and some people even called him freak and so on. He was later arrested by the cops because he had no clothes on. He was basically like a new born baby! He couldn't speak or do anything. When he was sent to the juvenile place, he learned how to eat things such as muffins and so on. He even learned some phrases such as “Yo! Let’s get some juice down here! “Sup? Everyone takin’ stupid pills around here?” and “Juice me!”. He even learned how to fight there too. This is related to what we studied in class on chapter four about socialization and the life cycle. In this boy’s case he learned what he knew from the people at his place which is juvenile. We can say that they were sort of like his family in some sense. Later in the episode a psychiatrist named Nicole Trager took him to her family home and he was treating him over there. When he went there he started to speak and do things that the people where doing in the family such as eating together at a dining table and many others. They named the boy Kyle since they had no file of who he was and what his name was and even his background. They treated him like family so Kyle was able to learn great things from them. They were his family. He learned his valves, norms and even their culture from them.
