Question

How does the sociocultural perspective relate to your development as a person?

Answer 1

The sociocultural perspective is an approach to try and figure out why humans behave the way they do. It looks at the rules of social groups and subgroups in which the person is a part of. 

Most of us have heard of the saying, "Birds of a feather flock together". Well, this is a very accurate statement. When you see different social groups, you start to notice that they, in some form or fashion, share the same idea, or fashion sense, beliefs, past, etc. This connection plays a huge role in the development of us as humans. Just like the more you hang out around bad people, the more susceptible you are to participating in those things, the same goes with hanging around good people, or people that try and do the right thing and can enjoy spending time together without doing something illegal. All in all, the people we hang out with or spend time with impact us more than we care to notice.

I hope this helped! Have an amazing day :)
