This week, we delved into an array of subject matter, ranging from sociological research methods to culture, socialization, and social systems, interactions, and structures. Socialization, in particular, is a very significant factor in influencing individual and/or collective action and interaction. 

For this blog assignment, you are expected to create a Wordle image that includes all the various socializing agents you can think of when it comes to your own socialization as a human being. Click on "Create your own." Type and/or paste all the words representing these personal agents of socialization in the large dialog box (as many words can be entered as long as spaces or commas are typed between them). Once you have entered all the words you wanted to include, click on the "Go"  button just below the box. Your Wordle image will appear, and you will be able to edit the format and layout before saving the image. You can also delete words from your Wordle even after you have created it by right-clicking on the word you want to delete (before saving it). After you have completed your Wordle image, please make sure to save it and paste the URL (website address/link) of your image in the comments section below.

Below are two different graphic presentations of  the same Wordle . . . 
Please note that Wordle organizes by single words only, so if you enter a word such as "high school," the words "high" and "school" will be organized separately, because a space is identified as a separator between two words. 

Your response should be posted below via the "Add Comment" link below. Please also make sure to include your name and email address as prompted (Note: your email address will not be published online). Each student is expected to "reply" to at least two comments posted by his/her peers by the following Sunday (June 17, 2012).  

This blog assignment is due: Monday, June 11, 2012, 5:30 p.m., EST
