socialization

n. process of learning to relate to and interact with others; process of adopting the behavior patterns of the surrounding culture; act of establishing according to the principles of socialism; act of meeting for social purposes; participating in social activities (also socialisation)

The term socialization is used by sociologists, social psychologists and educationalists to refer to the process of learning one’s culture and how to live within it. For the individual it provides the resources necessary for acting and participating within their society. For the society, inducting all individual members into its moral norms, attitudes, values, motives, social roles, language and symbols is the ‘means by which social and cultural continuity are attained’ (Clausen 1968: 5).
