Socialization, also spelled socialisation, is a term used by sociologists, social psychologists, anthropologists, political scientists, and educationalists to refer to the lifelong process of inheriting and disseminating norms, customs, values and ideologies, providing an individual with the skills and habits necessary for participating within their own society. Socialization is thus "the means by which social and cultural continuity are attained".
Socialization describes a process which may lead to desirable outcomes—sometimes labeled " moral"—as regards the society where it occurs. Individual views on certain issues, for instance race or economics, are influenced by the society's consensus and usually tend toward what that society finds acceptable or "normal". Many socio-political theories postulate that socialization provides only a partial explanation for human beliefs and behaviors, maintaining that agents are not blank slates predetermined by their environment; scientific research provides evidence that people are shaped by both social influences and genes. Genetic studies have shown that a person's environment interacts with his or her genotype to influence behavioral outcomes.
Socialization (or socialisation) refers to the lifelong process of inheriting and disseminating norms, customs and ideologies of a society.
Socialization may also refer to:
- Socialization (economics), the process of establishing social ownership of the means of production and/or a system of production for use
- Socialization (Marxism), the process within capitalism of transforming a solitary economic activity into a collective endeavor
- Socialization of animals, process of training animals to be kept by humans in close relationships
- Political socialization, the study of the developmental processes by which children and adolescents acquire political cognition, attitudes, and behaviors
In the theoretical work of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, socialization is the process of transforming a solitary economic activity into a social relationship and collective endeavor. Socialization takes place during the development of capitalism where the act of production becomes centralized and undertaken by firms in a highly mechanized and collective manner, in contrast to the pre-capitalist modes of production which were largely solitary in comparison. Socialization occurs due to centralization of capital in industries where there are increasing returns to scale.
In Marxist theory, a contradiction develops between the socialized production and the private ownership and appropriation of the surplus value and profits. Classical Marxist theory posits that this contradiction will intensify to a point where socialization of the surplus value appropriation in the form of social ownership of the means of production will be necessitated, resulting in a transition from capitalism to socialism.
