In Chapter 5, I chose to blog about the concept of socialization. According to the text, socialization is a process by which people learn the rules, norms, and expectations of a culture over time and thereby become members of that culture. Socialization is important in my opinion in every situation. Whether it is interpersonally or professionally. Proper ways of socializing remain a very important aspect of organizational communication. In my place of work, we make it a point to socialize new employees as soon as they are hired. We do this by walking them around the store while informing them of the different lines we carry. We also let them interact with our customers to give them a feel for a real life encounter that may happen within the store. This method of socialization is effective because the employees are not just reading the rules and norms. They are submerged in the environment first hand.

I like how socialization is said, but in one word it could be said as norms. This is what makes an effective community and workplace. If the expectations were met of socialization, households would run great and their would be great people with great attitudes in the workplace. I think it’s most important to really socialize when you’re a new employ in any job. That’s the key to success and finding the inns and outs to what not to do just as well what to do.
