cultural transmission and identity formation

Cultural transmission refers to the process by which knowledge, beliefs, values, and practices are passed down from one generation to another within a society. It involves the transmission of cultural norms, traditions, and customs through various means such as language, education, and socialization. Identity formation, on the other hand, refers to the development of an individual's sense of self and belonging within a particular culture or community. It involves the acquisition and internalization of cultural identities, which shape a person's values, beliefs, behaviors, and social interactions. Cultural transmission plays a significant role in the formation of individual and collective identities, as it influences how individuals perceive and understand themselves within their cultural context.
