Five for Fighting "100 Years"

         I chose Chapter Four: Socialization and the Life Course because I feel it has a lot more psychology involved in some of the theories. Things such as nature vs. nurture, and outside influences or social agents. The article that I chose discusses games being an agent of socialization in children's lives. The image I provided relates to the chapter because it shows the life course, through vehicles. The YouTube clip that I presented talks about symbolic interaction and presents it in an act.
       The links I used provide helpful information about how socialization occurs. The theories it discussed were looking glass theory, and it also talked about examples of agents of socialization. The second link is a series of lecture notes that outline the topics in chapter four. The lyrics that I chose were "100 years" by Five for Fighting. They beautifully sing a song about the life course of someone.
