Spencer Cahill’s article was very interesting and while reading this I kept recalling memories from my own childhood. Cahill is suggesting that we learn from being instructed and coached to perform a certain way while we are socialization. There is not a rule book that says how we are supposed to act while socializing with others, it is just common knowledge. Cahill calls this ceremonial routine and I feel that it is one of the most important things that came out of childhood socialization. If a children doesn’t learn proper behaviors for the types of society they live in, how are they supposed to be a function properly? This I feel cam go back to functionalist theory and that the function of childhood socialization is to learn proper behaviors
