Political values are formed through the process of political socialization. This process involves the learning of political attitudes, beliefs, and values through various sources such as family, education, media, and social networks. It is a gradual and ongoing process that can shape individuals' political identity and behavior. The other options such as ideological education and brainwashing are narrow and extreme views that do not necessarily represent the nuanced and varied nature of political socialization.
