socialization
 Resocialization refers to the process of discarding former behavior patterns and acceptingnew ones as part of a transition in one's life. This occurs throughout the human life cycle(Schaefer & Lamm, 1992: 113). Resocialization can be an intense experience, with theindividual experiencing a sharp break with their past, and needing to learn and beexposed to radically different norms and values. An example might be the experience of ayoung man or woman leaving home to join the military, or a religious convertinternalizing the beliefs and rituals of a new faith. An extreme example would be the process by which a transsexual learns to function socially in a dramatically altered gender role.

dia and socialization
Theorists like Parsons and textbook they will writers like Ely Chinoy (1960) and Harry M.Johnson (1961) recognized that socialization didn't stop when childhood ended. They realizedthat socialization continued in adulthood, but they treated it as a form of specialized education.Johnson (1961), for example, wrote about the importance of inculcating members of the USCoastguard with a set of values to do with responding to commands and acting in unison withoutquestion.Later scholars accused these theorists of socialization of not recognizing the importance of themass media which, by the middle of the twentieth century were becoming more significant as asocial force. There was concern about the link between television and the education andsocialization of children - it continues today - but when it came to adults, the mass media wereregarded merely as sources of information and entertainment rather than moulders of personality.According to theseSome sociologists and theorists of culture have recognized the power of mass communication asa socialization device. Dennis McQuailrecognizes the argument:« the media can teach norms and values by way of symbolic reward and punishment for different kinds of behaviour as represented in the media. An alternative view is that it is alearning process whereby we all learn how to behave in certain situations and the expectationswhich go with a given role or status in society. Thus the media are continually offering picturesof life and models of behaviour in advance of actual experience.-McQuail 2005: 494)agencies of socialiastio
