socialization and socialization agents (parents, teachers, peers)

Socialization refers to the lifelong process through which individuals acquire the knowledge, skills, behaviors, and values necessary to participate effectively in their social group or society. It involves learning societal norms, roles, and expectations, and is crucial in shaping an individual's identity and social interactions. Socialization agents, such as parents, teachers, and peers, are the influential individuals and groups that play a significant role in the socialization process. They help transmit cultural norms, values, beliefs, and social skills, providing guidance and teaching to individuals. Parents are the primary agents during early childhood, teachers become influential during formal education, and peers become increasingly significant during adolescence and adulthood. These agents collectively contribute to an individual's social development and integration into society.
