It was interesting to learn about the different agents of socialization as I always thought of things associated with gender, school, and even media as common knowledge. However, I was able to learn that there is actually a difference in the way to view "gender" and how it differs with "sex" and "sexual orientation." It was a new perspective to think about how the students involved in the panel described their experience of not following the social norm of gender. Another new perspective I had was with media. I thought I was aware of how it affected people, and I never thought of it much because it never directly affected me as I'm not too concerned about how it defines beauty. But it was interesting to reflect on how it's affecting possibly other people, especially with younger children. Another agent of socialization that I never really thought about before was with gender and school. Even though I witness it everyday, I've never really reflected on how different genders are treated differently, whether it be intentional or not. It was interesting to see how gender roles in general were portrayed in society because I never realized how media shaped males and expectations to them, so it was interesting to see something from their point of view as well.
