Family

__**What is socialisation?**__ Socialisation is the process of learning using, norms and values, culture. For example, you dont born knowing how to eat without makeing any noise or with your mouth shut. There are different types of socialisation; primary and secondary socialasation. Socialisation never finishes, children learn how to leave throght their own society, but adults are each day facing throughout their lives new situations.


 * Primary sociology**: Process of socialisation in early childhood. Primary socialisation mainly takes part at home within your family. You mainly learn the most basic norms, values and roles of their cultures.
 * Secondary socialisation**: This one and secondary agencies of socialisation (Education, Family, Peer groups, Religion, Mass Media...) are very important from quite an early age. In secondary socialisation you learn the most basic attitudes and skills to share socially with others.

__**Family in primary socialisation:**__ Family is actually very present in primary socialisation. At primary socialisation, children come to believe that norms and valuesare right and proper, so we are unlikely to deviate from them. Parents (family) have the most ways of influencing their cihldren´s behaviour and attitude. For example, parents decide their school, which hopefully their childs will evolve to having a peer group, which will also influence their attitude. They also use formal sanctions, written rules ( 10 rules you have to follow whch are written somewhere) or informal sanctions, which are more common in families ( go to bed, ignoring you, stop shouting) this are not written. In conclusion, family is very important throughout your life but mainly in primary socialisation.
