Are we Free Within Society

I do not think our society afford more freedom to males than to females because nowadays they have gain new rights that benefit them. Some of these laws are very radical and may result as a disadvantage to men because some women tend to make use of these laws in their advantage without being harmed. I think that the freedom depends more on the country rather than the income because there are some high-income countries which have stronger laws (this laws might mean for some people the amount of freedom in a nation), they are high-income countries which have more liberal laws (this means more freedom from some people). I personally prefer more conservative laws rather than liberal because sometimes these laws means less freedom and that is what some people do not understand. Sociology might increase your freedom because thanks to this, someone can understand what freedom really is and how to enjoy it. I think we are free within society, but some people do not understand what freedom is, and they might make things worst.  LGBT community do not understand what freedom is and affected people by making them have less freedom because this organization took these pronouns and persuaded the canadian government to use them. There is a law in Canada that considers as a crime to use a pronoun that an individual wants.“Canada passed a law Thursday making it illegal to use the wrong gender pronouns. Critics say that Canadians who do not subscribe to progressive gender theory could be accused of hate crimes, jailed, fined, and made to take anti-bias training.”

Socialization

First of all what is socialization? Socialization is the process by which people learn the characteristics of their group—the knowledge, skills, attitudes, values, norms, and actions thought appropriate for them. There are various of was to socialize for example  in school, outside schools, going out with fiends and more. My frequent socializing activities are:

• Family socialization this is something I do frequently because I love spending time with m family and get to talk to them about different types of subjects. This usually coccus dung reunions my family makes in order to spend time together.

• Spending time with classmates is an everyday thing, but I believe that the chance we actually get to socialize is when we are doing group projects and lunch. 

•   When I hangout with my friends we tend to have a good time and try our best to get a little break of reality and school. This is another way to socialize that I do often.
