learns all the cultural and social codes of his society at home. The first impact on child
by his mother, father and other family members leaves its place to the friends and peers
during adolescence. School, workplace and media are among the important socialization
agents for the child following the family and peers. Socialization starts by birth and lasts
till the death of an individual.
