 IMPORTANCE OF SOCIALIZATION

 The process of socialization plays a very

important role in the development of every
individual and in the history and life of
every community.
SOCIALIZATION IS VITAL TO CULTURE
Socialization is important to societies as,
it is to individuals. It is through this
process of socialization that every
society transmits its culture to
succeeding generations.

men and women are equally "maternal"
towards children; in another, both men and
women were fierce and aggressive.

She also concluded "masculine and feminine

behaviour was not inborn but was learned."
 SOCIAL FRAME OF REFERENCE

According to Fichter, this is the storehouse in

which a person readily finds how he is
expected to behave in the usual and
frequently repeated situations of social life.

It is also the storehouse in which he draws for

similarities out of the past when he is
confronted with a novel social situation.

unique manner"
 SOCIAL LEARNING
 "The difference between simple learning
and social learning is not in who learns, or in
how he learns. But what an individual
learns."
 The process of socialization can ultimately
be reduced to the fact that the individual
learns by contact with the society.
 The process refers not to individual
knowledge, which also comes from the
contact with others,but to shared
knowledge which has social significance.
