Step 3. Create and Write (240 mins)

After reflecting, create a visual representation that shows how each agent of socialization affects your own socialization process using a pie graph or chart showing the percentage of contribution for each of the five agents of socialization. 

Then, write a 300-600-word well-developed paragraph that discusses the interpretation and meaning of your pie chart/graph. Additionally, include the following information in your paragraph:

• How the different agents of the socialization process have impacted your life and helped define who you are.
• Which agent of socialization has the greatest influence on your life, and which one has the least influence.
• What positive and negative aspects of socialization, in general, do these agents produce in your society and other societies.
