Socialisation !

Primary Socialsation

Primary socialisation typically occurs during childhood and is when a child learns the attitudes, values and actions appropriate to individuals as members of a particular culture. For example if a child saw his/her mother expressing a discriminatory opinion about a minority group, then that child may think this behavior is acceptable and could continue to have this opinion about minority groups.

Secondary Socialsation

Secondary socialisation is the behaviour positively reinforced from the society. Secondary socialisation in education involves teaching children norms, values, socially accepted behaviour and social limitations and barriers. Secondary socialisation can also take place through media consumptions and the media give people stereotypical views about others.
