Ali Jan submitted a paper on socialization to Ma'am Uzma Waseem. The paper discusses socialization as the process of learning the norms and values of society. It compares the perspectives of psychology and sociology on human behavior. Psychologists focus on how the mind influences behavior while sociologists examine how society shapes behavior. The main agents of socialization discussed are social groups like family and peers, and institutions like schools, workplaces, religion, government, and mass media. These agents teach individuals the norms, expectations, and material and non-material culture of society.
