Family is the most important and influential agent of socialization as the family is the first social group that we are exposed to in our lives. Our family teaches us values, norms, and beliefs that shape our behavior and attitudes towards the society. Family members also provide us with emotional and social support that helps us develop our social identities. While other agents of socialization such as mass media, school and peer groups are also important, the family remains the most important agent of socialization.
