Socialization
Typical socialization agents that most people are exposed to from a young age include family—mother, father, brothers or sisters, grandparents, cousins, uncles, aunts and so on—then there are neighbors, teachers, peers at school. Other socialization agents include people at church, people on the TV that the children watch—even if they are cartoon characters, they still represent a socialization agent in a way. Over time these socialization agents will change. The individual will stop relying so much on family and start focusing more on technology or mass media or peers or school or religion for socialization.

They learn to laugh, to cry, to be happy, to be sad. They learn social, human feelings. They obtain social and emotional intelligence by being around others. They experience feelings of fear or anger or frustration and surprise. As they grow they are able to understand these feelings and how to use them or manage them effectively. For people who do not have the opportunity to be around others very much, they learn different things: they might learn more from books or media and therefore have less social or emotional intelligence because they are unable to see themselves through the eyes of others, which is an important way for people to understand themselves. By seeing how others feel about us, we can gain understanding of ourselves. We can read faces and see what people are thinking when we behave a certain…
