This encompasses not only <strong>material culture<\/strong> or <em>the physical artifacts that represent components of society<\/em>, but also <strong>nonmaterial culture<\/strong>, <em>ideas and symbols that represent components of society<\/em>. For many immigrants, there are obvious differences in terms of grocery stores, roads, and technology. Additionally, the laws, beliefs, and values are often also different. These cultural variations result in native-born individuals having different <strong>socialization<\/strong>, <em>the process by which one learns the appropriate attitudes and behaviors within a culture<\/em>. Because of these differences, immigrants to a new country often go through a process of <strong>resocialization<\/strong>, <em>an identity transformation in which social norms and roles are altered or replaced<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-109805 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/uitac.com\/inthenewsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/09\/pexels-matt-barnard-21952098-7104991-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"A United States Port of Entry building.\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uitac.com\/inthenewsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/09\/pexels-matt-barnard-21952098-7104991-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/uitac.com\/inthenewsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/09\/pexels-matt-barnard-21952098-7104991-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/uitac.com\/inthenewsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/09\/pexels-matt-barnard-21952098-7104991-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/uitac.com\/inthenewsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/09\/pexels-matt-barnard-21952098-7104991-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/uitac.com\/inthenewsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/09\/pexels-matt-barnard-21952098-7104991-2048x1367.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>. If their immigration was unauthorized, their first encounter with American authority may result in them spending time in a <strong>total institution<\/strong>, <em>an isolated group whose goal is to control every aspect of its member\u2019s lives<\/em>. Commonly referred to as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ice.gov\/detention-facilities\">detention centers<\/a>, these facilities control every aspect of the immigrant\u2019s life while their visa status is sorted out in the legal system.

In particular, the now rescinded <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/politics-immigration-only-on-ap-mexico-b04e63264cd13f248c94f1e90200460a\">Zero Tolerance Immigrant Enforcement<\/a> policy of separating children from parents has resulted in over <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/immigration\/more-2-100-children-separated-border-have-not-yet-been-n1269918\">2,100 children still not reunited with their families<\/a>. Arguably, the cruelty of that policy is not just in the current experience of the children and their loss of <em>individuals who are important to the development of self<\/em>, or <strong>significant others <\/strong>we call parents. The full cruelty of that policy won\u2019t be understood for decades. The <strong>life course perspective<\/strong> contends there are <em>a series of social changes that a person experiences over the course of their lifetime<\/em>. Being separated from your parents and locked in a detention center isn\u2019t one of the life course events typically associated with a happy childhood. If we add on <strong>social learning theory<\/strong>, <em>the process of learning from one another in a social context as a result of observation and imitation<\/em>, we are forced to consider not only what the children are learning from their experience in the detention centers but also how will it impact the rest of their lives.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-109806 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/uitac.com\/inthenewsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/09\/nitish-meena-IFh4o-U-BGg-unsplash-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Signs reading \u201cImmigrants make America great\u201d and \u201cNo hate No fear, Refugees are welcome here!\u201d\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uitac.com\/inthenewsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/09\/nitish-meena-IFh4o-U-BGg-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/uitac.com\/inthenewsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/09\/nitish-meena-IFh4o-U-BGg-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/uitac.com\/inthenewsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/09\/nitish-meena-IFh4o-U-BGg-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/uitac.com\/inthenewsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/09\/nitish-meena-IFh4o-U-BGg-unsplash-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/uitac.com\/inthenewsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/09\/nitish-meena-IFh4o-U-BGg-unsplash-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Agents of socialization<\/strong>, which are <em>individuals, groups, and institutions that influence the attitudes and behaviors of members of society,<\/em> affect all of the steps of the immigrant experience<em>. <\/em>In the context of immigration, these agents of socialization are a reflection of society projected to the larger world. The Haitian immigrants on the Texas border are not unique in their desire to seek a better life. The United Nations estimates that <a href=\"https:\/\/news.un.org\/en\/story\/2019\/07\/1043551\">millions of people will be displaced<\/a> by climate and political instability in the coming years. These people will be pushed to immigrate to a new country because their own has become uninhabitable. In the end, the U.S., as a destination or pull country, will have to consider whether our immigration policies will make it easier or harder for us to look at our own reflection.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span class=\"s1\"><b><i>Thompson is a co-owner of\u00a0<\/i><\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/uitac.com\/\"><span class=\"s2\"><b><i>UITAC Publishing<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/a><b><i>.
