Political socialization occurs within societies through various mechanisms, including family, education, media, and social interactions. These factors influence individuals' beliefs, values, and attitudes towards government and politics. Family is often the first and most influential agent of political socialization, shaping foundational views about authority and governance. Educational institutions also play a significant role by teaching civic knowledge and encouraging political engagement. Additionally, media exposure can shape public opinion and highlight current events, while peer interactions further reinforce or challenge political beliefs, contributing to the overall political culture of society.
