Sociology

For socialization to take place effectively, three major factors have to be considered.These, according to Ezewu(1983), include the following:

a)                 Socialisee

This is the person being socialized. It can either be  anew born child, a  recruit to the  army,afreshmantocollegeoranewstudent/pupilinaschooloranewemployee.

b)                Socializer

This is the person doing the act of socialization. These are parents, peer groups,community, teachers, church members andemployers.

c)                 Environment

Socialization cannot take place in a vacuum. It must be in a social setting such as in the family, school etc. The socializer and socialiseeinteract with one another in an environment.
