Socialisation is where ‘norms’ are adopted by people though learning about behaviour and having situations where influences and norms in society effect the way people behave.

One example of socialisation preventing anti-discriminatory practice is though in a culture saying ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ to things, where in another culture this may not be normal and so if someone doesn’t say thank you or please to something this may be seen as rude, and could make the person treat the other person differently.

Another part of socialisation that may cause problems is education of situations of people and the understanding of a person’s situation, this can be though things like not understand why someone behaviours in that and then the professionals own views or stereotypes will take control over the way the person treats the individual and then this wont promote anti-discriminatory practice the person is treating the person differently due own opinions it will affect the person negatively and this is discriminating against them.

Here's what a teacher thought of this essay

An impressive essay that had looked at a variety of procedures and thought how they can prevent anti discriminatory practice.
