Discussion
Read the following statements :
Assertion (A) : Children learn values and norms of the society in overt as well as covert ways.
Reason (R) : Socialization is the simple process of passing on customs and rituals of the society.
Choose the correct option.
Answer: C
A is true but R is false.
Children absorb the values and norms of their society both overtly, through direct instruction, rules and rewards, and covertly, through observation, imitation and the hidden curriculum of everyday life. So the Assertion is correct.
The Reason is wrong because socialization is not a simple, one-way handing down of customs and rituals. It is a complex, lifelong and interactive process in which the child is an active participant and in which family, school, peers and media all play a part. Since R is false, the options saying both are true, or both false, are ruled out.
