The most important source for culture and socialization in a society is the institution of religion. - FALSE

Religion cannot be regarded as the 'most important' source for culture and socialization in a society since it evolves from the norms, morals, language, rules and organization other than just the religious beliefs.

An anthropologist would study the lifestyles of the Hopi Indians during early 1500s. - True

(anthropology is the study of humans and their behaviors in the past)

A sanction is something that a person faces as a result of their behavior in a society. - True

The most important source for culture and socialization in a society is the institution of religion. The statement is false. Family and school are the most important sources for culture and socialization.

The family is the first and most important agent of socialization for children. We are deeply influenced by our parents values and principles. Mothers and fathers, siblings and grandparents, all teach a child what he or she needs to know.

Then at school, students learn to read, write and all the necessary things for them to become productive members of their society. They also interact every day at school with other children, and with authority figures which increases their social interaction skills and teach them how to behave.
