The term '''socialization''' is used by [[sociologists]], social [[psychologists]] and [[education]]alists to refer to the [[process]] of learning one’s [[culture]] and how to live within it. For the individual it provides the skills and habits necessary for acting and participating within their [[society]]. For the society, inducting all individual members into its moral norms, [[attitude]]s, [[values]], motives, social roles, [[language]] and [[symbols]] is the ‘means by which social and cultural continuity are attained’ (Clausen 1968: 5).
