In relation to Parrillo the socialization process consists of the prejudices and moral values your parents impose, or influence you to believe as a child. As a young kid you are naturally inclined to follow the lead of you parents, and as your grow to form an opinion in many cases your values are only a reflection of your parents.
I completely agree with this notion. I have experienced this first hand from the time I could engage in a controversial conversation with a peer of my own age. From politics to religion my friends continue to carry out the values their parents instill in them. Whether this effect is direct or indirect it is apparent among almost all kids. I find this to be true because, in the atmosphere of your home you are able to state you opinion with a biased angle. Within the walls of your own home why should someone have to "edit" their opinions or alter the way the present their beliefs? They shouldn't this is own area where it isn't exactly necessary to be pc or to consider all opinions. The youth of the household is only agreeing with the beliefs of the conversations that their parents are promoting.
Not to say that one's idea's and values can not change, or differ from their parents as they grow up and experience life for themselves, but commonly until you reach an age where you engage in life separately from your parents you will unconsciously agree with them. The atmosphere in which kids are most greatly influenced by is their own home, and the parents aren't expected to edit their values within this home, but maybe that isn't exactly a good thing because the most impressionable people are soaking in every word and taking away the closed minded opinions of their parents.
