Dancing in Today’s World: Effects of Socialization on the Child, Family, and Community leads readers on a journey that examines the effects of socialization. Each chapter is filled with opportunities to write reflective thoughts to better understand the material and apply it to the reader’s own life and profession.
In addition, it encourages readers to look at their world from a variety of vantage points. The use of Urie Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Model permeates this text. Readers will have the opportunity to look at the myriad influences on a child and the overall socialization outcomes from these influences. D
Readers are encouraged to look around during their journey and to use a cautious and critical eye when observing. Readers will be dancing throughout their voyage to see the world of relationships through a dance. Although the rhythm of the music may be offbeat or the steps of the dance may be disharmonious, there is still a dance between the various facets in our lives and us.
The text is designed to “begin with the end in mind.” So, ideally, instructors will align their syllabi to begin the session with Chapter 12. This sets a foundation for service learning and community action at the beginning of the session. The text is designed to coincide with the curriculum and course outline for the California Community College Child Development course entitled, “Child, Family, and Community.” Therefore, the text can be used in education, sociology, and child development courses.
