THE CHANGING NATURE OF SOCIALISATION

Abstract

Primary socialization, which is particularly intense and occurs in the early years of life, and secondary socialization, which occurs throughout the life course are the two social processes that help new members of society develop awareness of social norms and values and help them achieve a distinct sense of self. Socialization is the process that turns a helpless infant into a self-aware, knowledgeable person who is skilled in the ways of a society's culture. According to the customs, traditions, religious and ethical beliefs, political ideologies, and other aspects of the many civilizations that have persisted on this planet and in the modern day when humans are separated into numerous nations, socialization is a given. Therefore, the nature of socialization is altering in accordance with social change. This means that when fundamental changes occur in the tenets of a particular race or culture, the socialization process also reflects these changes. We have discovered how higher education students' socializing is evolving thanks to exploratory research designs. Understanding the fundamental societal ideals of socialization in modern society and the driving factor behind socialization motivation are the goals of this research. With the aid of the tools at our disposal, we had created the notion that money, power, and status have drastically replaced societal values. We also developed the theory that ambition and success serve as the primary socialization drivers in today's culture. The outcomes match the hypothesis and are as expected. The modern youth's mindset and attitude have entirely been replaced by a materialistic mindset and self-centered behaviors.
