According to Vincent Parrillo, the socialization process is the process where a child picks up the beliefs and ideas of their parents. He says that since they are our parents, we accept their idea without realizing it and it changes the way we act in our adult lives. I agree that beliefs are formed this way. It is very obvious in some cases where the children believe the exact same thing as their parents even if they don’t think it’s because of their parents. A great example of this is with politics, every child when they are little “supports” the same candidate as their parents because they don’t know any differently. There are beliefs that I have gotten from my parents because of this process. Religion would be a very strong example of where my parents directly influenced my ideas without me noticing, until I was old enough, to realize I believed the same things as them.
