Socialization is the process by which individuals learn and internalize the norms, values, beliefs, and behaviors of their society or culture. It is the interaction and communication with others that helps individuals develop a sense of self and a social identity. Socialization occurs throughout a person's life, beginning in infancy and continuing through childhood, adolescence, and into adulthood. It is essential for the formation of social bonds, the development of relationships, and the functioning within a society.
