ABSTRACT

The life of every human being from birth to death, one way or another, occurs in the social environment in communication with other people. Social interaction is necessary not only for the normal functioning of the organism and the whole person but for ensuring the survival and education of future generations. Through participation throughout life in various groups, so-called “socialization” takes place. Socialization is understood as the process of mastering the individual social experience, the system of social ties and relationships. It is the process of integrating the individual into the social environment and assimilation to its norms and

values. The formation of mentality, habits, character, and other personal characteristics occur through participation in groups. Socialization implies active human participation in the development of human relations culture in the formation of certain social norms, roles, and functions, an acquisition of skills necessary for their successful implementation. In other words, socialization refers to the entire multifaceted process of learning the accumulated experience of life in human society and social relations.
