Socialization is the process through which individuals learn and internalize the norms, values, beliefs, and behaviors of their society. It is a lifelong process that begins in childhood and continues throughout one's life. Socialization is essential for the functioning of society as it helps individuals develop social skills, form relationships, and understand and adhere to societal rules and expectations. Socialization occurs through interactions with family, peers, teachers, and other social institutions such as religious groups and the media. It plays a crucial role in shaping an individual's identity, self-concept, and worldview.
