HSP3M CH # 6 – Sociology, Socialization and Personality Practice Quiz
Do the Quiz on Lined Paper
1. This sociological point of view sees society as groups of people acting in
competition for power. In Canadian society these different groups could be
political parties, lobbyists, non-governmental organizations, land developers,
environmental groups, child advocates, media organizations, property owners
etc. When a big decision needs to be made or a large project needs to be
planned (Ottawa’s East-West Light Rail or the Revitalization of Lansdowne Park)
competition and conflict can erupt when change is happening. ______________
2. This sociological point of view focuses on women and gender inequality in
society. Women have long been neglected historically in social science theories
and studies. These sociologists believe that focusing on this point of view will
help restore a gender balance in research and gender equality in society.
_________________
3. This sociological point of view sees a society as various segments or groups
of people working together for the whole. All segments of society serve a
purpose and need each other in order to create the whole society. In Canada
they would point to our family support groups, schools, healthcare, recreational
facilities, and food providers as groups that support young developing Canadian
children. ________________
4. This sociological point of view is concerned more with how people interpret
and react to people and groups around them. They think that people are
internally motivated by what they have learned and internalized and are less
motivated by other’s concrete actions. Everyone subjectively interprets their
world, and then acts upon it in their own way. This is the most individualistic
sociological point of view. ________________
5. What do we call children who have lived the first few years of their lives
without much social contact and with no formal socialization? ___________

accepted ways of behaving within a specific culture. __________________

and power over the environment. Success
in this stage leads to a sense of purpose.

vs.
Stagnation
Work and
Parenthood
Adults need to create or nurture things
that will outlast them, often by having

accomplishment, while failure results in
shallow involvement in the world.
8. Maturity(65
to death)
Ego Integrity
