Which of the following statement about socialization is correct ?

  • A.Socialization cultivates shared sources of meaning and value.
  • B.Socialization is culture-independent and context-neutral.
  • C.Socialization happens only during childhood.
  • D.Norms and beliefs cannot be acquired through socialization process.

Answer: A

The correct statement is that socialization cultivates shared sources of meaning and value.

Socialization is the process by which a person learns the language, norms, values and beliefs of a group, through family, school, peers and media. Its result is a shared framework through which members of a society interpret the world.

The other statements are wrong. Socialization is shaped by culture and context, since what is learned differs from one society to another. It continues throughout life (secondary and adult socialization at work or in new roles), not only in childhood. And acquiring norms and beliefs is precisely what socialization does.
