socialization and identity formation

Socialization refers to the process by which individuals acquire and internalize the beliefs, values, norms, and behaviors of their society. It involves interaction with others and various social institutions, such as family, education, and media, which shape an individual's understanding of the world and their role in it. Identity formation, on the other hand, is the process through which individuals develop a sense of self and establish a coherent and stable sense of who they are. It involves the integration of various personal, social, and cultural aspects, including characteristics, values, beliefs, experiences, and affiliations, which influence one's perception of oneself and how they relate to others.
