"Socialization Ends in Childhood"
Captions available
The idea
Socialization continues across the whole life course: every new job, institution, illness, or country requires learning norms the person did not previously hold.
In practice
A recruit, a new parent, and a retiree are each being socialized into something.
Where people slip
Childhood socialization is the deepest, which is why the later kind goes unnoticed.
