Socialization is the process through which communities transact or educate their members about the norms and values of society to be socially acceptable.It simply refers to acquiring the socially approved ways of behavior and taking ideal expectations seriously.Socialization is the continuous process of negotiating identities and shaping ones concept of self, identity, various attitudes, and behaviors. Socialization has 4 major agents namely family, school, peers, and mass media. Types of Socialization: Primary Socialization: It happens during infancy and childhood. It refers to the process where the child becomes socialized through the family in the early childhood years. It highlights that the key agent in the process of primary socialization is the family (Parents, siblings, etc.).For example,A very young child in a family has little knowledge of his culture. It is through the family that the child gets to know what is accepted and what is not in a particular society.Rhea, a 4 year old girl got scolded by her parents when she refused to eat her vegetables. During make-believe play, Rhea repeats this behavior.Secondary Socialization: It occurs once the infant passes into the childhood phase and continues into maturity. It refers to the process that begins in the later years through agencies such as schools and peer groups. During this phase more than the family, some other agents of socialization like the school and peers group begin to play a role in socializing the child.For example, Schools help children in learning the importance of social cohesion and unity and inculcating the informal cues about social roles through interaction.Hence, it could be concluded that Rhea's behaviour depicts primary socialization.HintMake-believe play is a ubiquitous part of early childhood. In make-believe play, children pretend that an object is something other than what it actually is.In make-believe play, children also pretend to be another person. In other words, being able to make-believe means that the toddler is able to think symbolically.Toddlers reproduce acts that they have seen adults perform, like pretending to read a book, picking up the telephone receiver, and carrying out an imaginary conversation.
