The socialization process is that you learn what you know from the people that you interact with everyday. You pick up values and create your personality based on the people that influence you. Your friends, parents, peers, teachers, anyone that you interact with, gives you a part of who you are. Its not that you become like them always, sometimes its that you don’t want to be like them, but the people around you socialize you.
I believe that prejudices as well as many other beliefs are instilled in this way. Your parents teach you what they believe and you grow up thinking that that is the right way. Then you get old enough to think for yourself and you listen to other people’s ideas and you pick and choose and combine beliefs until they make sense to you. You learn things from people around you whether you want to or not. These things are what make up you and your personality.
