This book draws a sociological portrait of the age group born in the 1970s in Estonia and discusses its generational features and constructions. This cohort's coming of age coincided with the social and emotional turmoil of the re-independence movement in the late 1980s and with the transformation of society in the 1990s. This was the first cohort to negotiate its transition to adulthood in the new society, starting some new patterns of socialization, while also sharing some practices and experiences with older cohorts. Based on qualitative interviews as well as an analysis of media discourses and statistical data, the book traces the emergence of a new generation that draws its very own lessons from the past and from the social transformations that influenced life courses and careers. The book provides an intriguing discussion of socialization patterns and generation formation against the backdrop of post-socialist transformation. In addition, it provides a fascinating insight into the mind-set and experiences of a generation in the making, already shaping today's society and culture.

Children with special needs experience significant difficulties in organizing their educational and communicative activities and behavior due to their developmental characteristics, as well as somatic diseases. Such children have problems in socialization and psycho-emotional sphere (they are anxious, vulnerable, painfully react to changes in life circumstances, and prone to frequent mood changes). They also have limited ideas about the world around and underdeveloped higher mental functions. The purpose of social rehabilitation is to restore skills, lost or not acquired during socialization, and abilities to perform social functions, relationships, and roles. One of the means of social rehabilitation is zootherapy, which is based on the interaction of a person with an animal. Zootherapy includes various areas: hippotherapy, canis therapy, dolphin therapy, feline therapy, etc. Therapy with animals has a positive effect on children with special needs: it stabilizes the emotional state, reduces the level of anxiety and stress, and promotes the development of communication skills, as well as the development of moral qualities.
Character and values education has gained importance in many societies since the first moments of the emergence of the phenomenon of education, and moreover, it has formed the basis and ultimate goal of educational processes. While values education focuses more on the adoption of the current values in society, character education focuses on universal virtues such as wisdom, justice, love, courage, honesty, etc. Character education is a sociological process by nature. Character development in students is under the influence of family, school and social environment as well as individual characteristics. Character education is based on the socialization of the individual. In this respect, a good individual is a sufficiently socialized individual. School and family constitute the basis for the formation and transmission of moral codes in the individual. In this respect, while some educational sociologists consider this socialization process as an automatic process outside the individual's preferences, some contemporary sociologists have put forward the concept of individual character with a less deterministic perspective.

Abstract Adopting an analytically eclectic approach that draws on theories of realist bargaining, identity, and socialization, this article investigates the early Cold War origins of the Five Eyes intelligence grouping (the United States, Canada, Great Britain, Australia, and New Zealand). An understanding of identity grounded in culture suggests a natural process of international intelligence community building, but this was not the case with the Five Eyes. The formation of the grouping was not preordained. Although Anglo-Saxonism was a necessary condition, it was not sufficient. In addition to being able to provide valuable sites for signals intelligence collection, aspiring members had to be seen as staunchly anti-Communist (and therefore politically trustworthy) by the United States in order to become full members of this exclusive community. Early postwar concerns over the political loyalties and secrecy protection regime of the Australian government prompted the British to initiate a process of socialization aimed at bolstering its affiliate's security institutions and practices and guaranteeing its own access to U.S. secrets.
The main purpose of foreign language teaching is communication and socialization. Listening and speaking skills come to the fore compared to reading and writing in ensuring communication and socialization. As no production takes place without raw materials, no speaking occurs without listening. Films are one of the most essential materials enabling the development of listening and speaking skills. The purpose of this research is to explain how teachers of Turkish as a foreign language should use films to contribute to the development of their students' speaking and listening skills. In this study, the data was obtained through document review, which is one of the methods of qualitative data collection. It has been concluded that films, which appeal to more than one sense, are fun, interesting and mirror the everyday language, are effective in providing both motivation and continuity of linguistic messages in teaching Turkish as a foreign language. This indirectly supports the development of listening and speaking skills. Key Words: teaching Turkish as a foreign language, listening and speaking skills, material, film.
Abstract This article argues that secondary states in international hierarchy pursue distinctive strategies to define and secure their identities. When and why do they adopt strategy of socialization and emulation? When and why do they prioritize security of identity even at the expense of physical security? To address these questions, I empirically examine the relationships between Korea and imperial China during the Ming and Qing dynasties. I ask why Chosŏn Korea chose to voluntarily subordinate to the Ming, and why it risked its survival during the period of obvious power transition with the rise of the Qing. I develop a theory of secondary states' identity-seeking based on social identity theory and ontological security studies. Theoretically, it suggests a new mechanism in which secondary states' status-seeking generates a lock-in effect through deep socialization. Empirically, it adds to the growing literature on historical East Asian international relations by explicitly theorizing secondary states' quest for identity.
Despite considerable debate on the normative foundations of Chinese international development cooperation and how they compare with those of traditional donors,positivist studies on the normative consequences of China's socialization into mainstream international norms of development assistance are scarce. This article explores this topic for the case of Ethiopia, an aid 'darling' with an extended presence of Chinese and Western development actors, taking the Aid Effectiveness Agenda as reference. Resorting to official documents, data analysis, and semi-structured interviews, the authors find that Chinese development actors' understanding of ownership and transparency is relatively stable and different from that of Western donors and that they promote their own understanding of those principles among Ethiopian stakeholders. There are, however, significant changes in inclusive partnerships and the focus on results, that have more to do with a pragmatic adaptation process by Chinese actors than with a socialization process through their interaction with traditional donors.

The coastal part of Semarang City is generally formed from alluvial deposits, which have rock structure characteristics that are still undergoing a consolidation process, this is one of the causes of land subsidence, besides that it is influenced by other factors, namely groundwater extraction by means of deep wells (artetist), the effect of the burden, the effect of global climate change. The service team conducted outreach to the community in RW 12, Tanjung Mas Village, North Semarang, Semarang City about the causes of land subsidence, the impact and how to overcome it, as well as community participation in assisting the government. With this service, it is hoped that the community in the Tanjung Mas Village area can participate and assist in preventing/reducing and overcoming and monitoring, especially the causes and impacts of land subsidence. The method used in this socialization includes providing hardcopy material, explaining the material, and discussing the content of the material. After the socialization was held, the understanding of the people in the area increased from 60% to 80%.

Family talk is a rich site for children's language learning as well as navigating into cultural values, social roles and stances. This study examines a child's stancetaking in language-focused interaction initiated by the parent, in order to understand children's role in language learning as a social activity and in their own language socialization. Conversation analysis of audio-recorded child–parent conversations in family settings over eight months reveals the varied epistemic and affective stances that the child displayed towards language forms, cultural norms, the parents' stances, and the language-focused activity itself. We show that the child changed over time to orient to a correctness norm as part of his socialization into the family's beliefs and values regarding language. We argue that talk about language forms is deeply connected with participants' stances towards language and cultural norms as well as toward others' stances and actions, and that for a sound understanding of language learning as a social activity, detailed examinations of children's and caregivers' stancetaking in interaction are indispensable.
Both society and psychological science are deeply grounded in (and often perpetuate) white supremacy and anti-Blackness. While human development is inextricable from macro-level structural racism and hierarchies of oppression, developmental research often locates processes in the micro-level of individuals and relationships, ultimately obscuring how intimately macro-level forces shape developmental processes. The current paper aims to shift the starting point of the story of human development by centering the macrosystem, and specifically racism (and its partnering ideologies of sexism, heteronormativity, classism, and capitalism) in ecological systems theory and developmental psychology broadly. Through the lens of racial socialization research, we present an empirical example to illustrate how the sociopolitical context of racism is itself a source of socialization. Finally, we propose new language, <i>m(ai)cro</i>, to conceptualize the simultaneous and transactional macro-as-micro processes in development. We conclude with guiding principles for how to work toward equity and justice in human development.
AbstractEarly theorists understood the family as a key institution in the production of gender and sexuality. In this paper, I trace the development of this line of thought and review parents' role in shaping children's gender and sexuality over the life course. I first describe the three most prominent theoretical frameworks used to locate parents in these studies: psychoanalysis, socialization, and interactional approaches. In doing so, I illuminate the contributions of each theory to sociological thought on children's gender and sexuality while pointing to weaknesses with psychoanalysis and socialization. I then discuss how parents influence children's development and performance of gender and heterosexuality, paying attention to variations based on race, class, gender, and sexuality. Based on the current state of the literature, I suggest that we sociologists should diversify our methodological approaches in this area, attend to how changes in families correspond to changes in parents' role in shaping children's gender and sexuality, and grapple with how children's performances of gender and sexuality influence parents' performances of gender and sexuality.
