What impact do these standards of acceptance have on people’s health and well-being? Basically, how are people impacted by being asked to meet certain standards to pass and possibly being viewed as a violator of these standards?

Learning Goal: I’m working on a psychology multi-part question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

Create a new discussion post exploring how a socialization agent of your choice (e.g., family, school, peers, media, medical system, government) shapes the standards for acceptance on a particular dimension (e.g., sexuality, race, religion, body type, ability, behavior).

Your post should include:

• Your chosen socialization agent and dimension in bold at the top of your post
• A summary of what role your socialization agent has in shaping the “standards of acceptance” associated with passing or not passing on the dimension you chose. Think about how the socialization agent you chose encourages passing.
• Commentary on how the standards of acceptance vary across gender. Are the standards the same across genders or different? How so? Please be sure that you’re thinking of gender in an expansive way here.
• In-text citations and references as appropriate

Make sure that you use evidence (rather than just your opinion) to back your position, either from course materials or an outside scholarly source.

pt two will send after I receive prt 1

Read through your fellow group members’ posts.

Then, respond to two different colleagues. You need to either respond to someone whose post hasn’t been commented on yet or provide a unique perspective on the piece of media. In each peer response, respond to the following:

• What impact do these standards of acceptance have on people’s health and well-being? Basically, how are people impacted by being asked to meet certain standards to pass and possibly being viewed as a violator of these standards? Pull in at least one piece of evidence from our course materials or an outside scholarly source. Be sure to clearly address the dimension + socialization agent your peer selected.
  • Stuck? Think about the impact on mental health or products designed to help people meet these standards (e.g., anti-aging creams).
