I used my own personal experience of moving to Ohio University to illustrate examples of culture, subculture, socialization, and internalization. Because I was moving from the city of Cleveland to the small town of Athens, I decided to incorporate the concepts of culture and the differences between "city culture" and "small town culture". I was also aware that college students often fall into a sort of subculture during their four years at university. To further explain culture and subculture, I used the terms socialization and internalization as they were meant to explain how and why people adopt new cultures and / or subcultures.

 

 

The transition from in to college can be challenging for any student. Often times, it is not one big transition as much as it is many small ones going on at once. As previously illustrated, the locations where the transitions take place can influence the outcome of the transition of a whole. Even simple things like moving from place to place involve sociological concepts previously mentioned.
