Explain the total institution as an agent of socialization, and provide one example.
What will be an ideal response?
Varies. Total institutions are institutions that are closed to external influences in which a group of people live together, following a strictly structured routine. In a total institution, sleep, work, and play, occur within the confines of the institution rather than in different locations, all of which is under a single authority that oversees and administers these activities. Examples include prison and boot camp.
