Question

Impact that social factors have on an individual and society

Answer 1

Answer:

Social factors have a great impact on both individuals and society because of socialization, the process of how an individual comes to understand and live by the established norms in society.

Explanation:

Social factors like gender and other inequalities like race and ethnicity have a great impact on how individuals are impacted by the society around them. Children for example are socialized into mainstream society generally by their parents and the school system, although children from minority families and immigrant families can face challenges because they are not socialized to the same values and the system is not accomodating and sensitive enough to cultural differences.  Economic inequality also is a social factor that affects how individuals are socialized. Socioeconomic status generally influences what occupation an individual chooses to pursue and how much time they dedicate to education and lifelong learning, for example.
