Socialisation

Socialization is the process through which individuals learn and internalize the norms, values, behaviors, and roles appropriate to their society. It helps people understand how to interact, communicate, and function effectively within their community. This learning occurs through family, peers, schools, media, and other social institutions. Socialization shapes identities, influences beliefs, and prepares individuals to participate as members of society. It is a lifelong process that helps maintain social order and cultural continuity.
