Socialization is predominately an unconscious process by which a new born child learns the values, beliefs, rules and regulations of society or internalises the culture in which it it born. Socialization, in fact, includes learning of three important processes: cognitive, affective, and evaluate. In other words, socialization includes the knowledge of how things are caused and the establishment of emotional links with the rest of the members of the society. Socialization, therefore, equips an individual in such a way that he can perform his duties in his society. (jacket)
