In sociology, socialization (or socialisation) is the process through which individuals internalize the norms, customs, values and ideologies of their society. It involves both learning and teaching and is the primary means of maintaining social and cultural continuity over time. It is a lifelong process that shapes the behavior, beliefs, and actions of adults as well as of children.

AI overview

Socialization is the process through which people learn and adopt the norms, values, and beliefs of the society they live in, beginning in childhood and continuing throughout their lives. It matters because it is the main way that societies pass along their culture and maintain social order from one generation to the next.
