“Gender Socialization is the aspect of socialization that contains specific messages andpractices concerning the nature of being female or male in a specific group or society” (Kendall,2017, p. 81).We use gender socialization at a young age and even before birth.Gendersocialization teaches us social rules according to our sex. Gender socialization is taught to us byour family, the government, by laws, by different races, and by social media.We are socializedat a young age by our surroundings.We are told how to act due to our gender.We are taughtthat males are characterized as masculine where females are characterized as feminine.We see itwhen we give our children household chores, when we give them different toys and privileges,and give them curfew.Gender Socialization is also divided by color.When we have babyshowers we use blue for boy and pink for girls.Girls are socialized by color, dolls, makeup, andkitchen toys, and other girly items.At a young age we are already telling our girls what they areexpected due to their gender.Boys are characterized by blue, manly toys, and boyish items.Boys are taught that they are not supposed to play with pink things or play with girly toys.Boysare trained not to cry and be soft.If we do not agree with the gender stereotype taught to us, thenwe get questioned about our sexuality and lectured that there will be negative consequences likebeing made fun of, bullying, or questioned.”Racial socialization is the aspect of socialization that contains specific messages andpractices concerning the nature of our racial or ethnic status as it relates to our identity,interpersonal relationships, and location in the social hierarchy.” (Kendall, 2017, p. 82).Whetherwe accept how society has been separated racially, we see racial socialization every day. Racialsocialization is our behavior based on our race and messages we transmit regarding someone’srace. African American, Hispanic, Asian, and many more races are faced with inequality.Parentsare responsible for raising their children with culturally appropriate principles and values so theycan survive in the real world.We are given the tasks of teaching our children values, principles,integrity, and morals to prepare them as they grow up.We also have to teach our children what itmeans to be their race.Society has been divided.Parents are teaching their children about theirheritage, values, morals and their history.We want our children to be proud of their backgroundand to accept everyone which is something that we do not see in our society today.Examples ofracial socialization is telling someone we are smarter than them due to our race, or we are betterthan they are because of our race, or we are richer than them due to our race.We must be carefulof the messages we send because we pass them down to our generations.

We experience gender and racial socialization in our everyday lives.We our influencedby gender and racial socialization every day.We learn things, we learn attitudes, we learn whatis expected by us even before birth.We are taught what is gender appropriate.Gender andracial socialization is taught to us before birth to prepare us for the real world.Our society is fullof bias, prejudice, and discrimination.Gender and racial socialization is taught to us help uslearn how to deal with situations in our society and to help us understand society as well.Thereis an answer for everything.There is an answer to why we do things, why we behave the waywe do, why we treat people the way we do, and why we say things.The answer is gender andracial socialization.References:Kendall, Diana.
