Introduction
=== Socialzation is a cultural process of learning to participate in group life through cutlural transmission. Without Socialization we would not have developed many of the characteristics we associate with being human. Reseach has shown that animals and human infants who are deprived of intensive and prolonged social contact with others are stunted in their emotional and social growth. === === Socialization starts at birth and continues throughout life. Socialization is a way of perpetrating the status quo. The conflict is a way for the powerful to keeps things the same. Families are in different social classes, and when children learn to accept their family's social class they help to maintain the current class system. For example, Newspaper owners and editors exersice the power by setting the political agenda for the community. Socialization sustains the political, social, and economic advantages of the higher social class.=== =media type="youtube" key="d7VfTtsnh44" height="283" width="378" align="right"[] article on socialization=
