Answer  preview

In sociology, culture refers to the customs, beliefs, and norms that are acceptable by a given society or people living in an area. Culture forms a basis on which people interact with each other, which is referred to as socialization. Different agents of socialization also influence individual behavior, which may keep on changing with time. Socialization starts in the childhood stage, with family being the most essential and immediate agent of socialization. Education, employment, and technology and mass media have been core determinants of my social life and behavior.
