Socialization Process

The socialization process is how individuals learn the norms, values, behaviors, and roles of their society or community. It begins in childhood through interactions with family, friends, schools, and media, shaping our understanding of what is expected and acceptable. As we grow, we continuously adapt and internalize these social norms, enabling us to function and communicate effectively within our culture. This process helps maintain social order and allows individuals to develop their identity within the broader social context.
