Socialization is the process through which individuals are taught the norms, values, and behaviors of their society or culture. It involves learning how to interact with others, communicate effectively, and develop a sense of belonging within a group. Socialization occurs throughout an individual's life, starting from childhood and continuing into adulthood. It plays a crucial role in shaping a person's identity, beliefs, and social relationships. Researchers study socialization to understand how individuals are influenced by their social environment and how they develop social skills and behaviors over time.
