Gender Inequality

Celina, thank you for the comment. I agree with what you are saying. It is true that children spend the most time around their families rather than being at preschool. But there are a lot of people that I personally know who do not have the same mindset as their parent or siblings. This is because some students who learn things at school learn to apply it to their daily life rather than just learning something for the mark. Although that household plays a big role for children growing up seeing gender inequality because they mother would be doing the housework while their father be doing outside work but thankfully in our contemporary society we are starting to see mothers doing less housework and attending the work industry. But I believe that teaching young kids about gender inequality, racism and differences between people at preschool can diminish what we are struggling with in our society today. Children also have this ability to learn new things and adapt to it quicker, sometimes inside the household, parents do not talk about the things children learn at school so it is new things to them which will help them to pick up quickly.

It's certainly worth considering all aspects of socialization, but indeed, it is apparently from the ages of 0-6 where socialization is the most important/ingrained into our subconsciousness. As such, factoring in how parents raise and expose their children to different media (since kids spend the majority of their time with/around parents, as mentioned) is important, but the school can potentially be very important from ages 4ish-6, where kids first look get their experience in the real world, with other people that can affect one's perception (either re-ifying or potentially subverting it) quite a bit, so this could have a particularly poignant impact of seeing girls as leaders/equals in crucial socialization stages outside of the home.

Of course it's not to say people aren't socialized after all this time, we're definitely socialized our whole lives. But both the home and school are both arguable crucially important in socialization.
