Socialization Category
Socialization is a fundamental process through which individuals acquire the norms, values, behaviors, and social skills necessary to function effectively in society. This lifelong learning experience begins in early childhood and continues across various social contexts, such as family, schools, peer groups, and media. Key agents of socialization include parents, teachers, and cultural institutions that shape an individual's identity and social roles. Effective socialization fosters communication skills, empathy, and social integration, contributing to societal cohesion and personal development.
