CLEP Social Sciences

Answer - C - The process through which people are trained to or learn to be members of society and/or to participate in various social groupings is called socialization.

Key Takeaway: In general, socialization is the term for the process of becoming “social,” or an integrated member of normal society. Typically, sociologists believe that socialization is based upon interaction, in the ways humans behave toward and interact with each other. Scientists and sociologists greatly disagree about what, exactly, is learned through socialization, though.
