The behavior of one of your classmates influences the behavior of others, and you are also influenced by the conduct of others. The reaction of the mutual influences of behaviors is called interaction. Interaction is the key issue of any social life. That means a person's socialization occurs through the actions and responses of the social environment, social life, and social values. So, the influence of these three components is evident in the formation and development of human personality.
1. Social Environment: The particular social system where a man
lives is his social environment. Man blooms through his social environment. The
social environment also influences a person’s economic, psychological, and
moral life. The social environment includes social manners, conventions,
customs, institutions, rules and regulations, all types of tendencies,
problems, and so on. The social environment comprises the economic, cultural,
psychological, and technological environments. The economic environment is a
part of the social environment. In the kingdom of nature, human beings are
producing different economic articles and goods. The root cause of this is his
own happiness and comfort. Market, land, garden, domestic animals, machinery,
etc., are the various components of the economic environment. Besides, numerous
institutions, including the family and other religious institutions, are formed
in the social environment. Culture developed through these institutions
influences the behavior of a person in many ways, which is also a part of the
cultural environment.
The cultural environment is formed through the man-made components of society. Everything, including dwelling houses, roads, behaviors, science, and knowledge, encompasses the cultural environment. In the process of socialization, the influence of the cultural environment on people is also deep. Man’s human quality develops, and his mental faculty broadens in a developed cultural environment. Human beings are recognized as social creatures because of their united living. There is a psychological reason behind such united living. The growth and development of mechanical civilization in all its surroundings is called the technological environment. This environment also influences our social environment. Technological inventions, for example, the computer, television, and the internet, etc., also influence man’s behavior and conduct. Besides, natural factors also influence many aspects of people’s social life.
2. Social Life: Social life is an important component of socialization. The social life of a human being is mainly regulated through several behavioral factors and conduct. The social life is a set of conduct, behavior, and lifestyle of a human being that he acquires from living in a society. People participate in various activities and ceremonies of the society. People try to adapt to those activities and ceremonies through their actions, reactions, and behaviors. In this respect, people try to perform their work by imitating the behaviors of other people. It means that through this tendency of imitation, people acquire various things like language, pronunciation, mode of speaking, etc. Many things of society and its culture are transmitted through the language to the people. Ceremonies like birthdays, marriage ceremonies, Eid day, puja festivals, Christmas day, the birth anniversary of Buddha, marriage anniversaries, etc., are observed in our social life. These ceremonies of social life influence the process of socialization.
3. Social Values: Values are specific features of our
social life. The standard of people's lifestyle can be measured through these
values because, by exercising these values, a person’s conduct becomes obvious
regarding social rules and regulations, norms, customs, respect for social
laws, etc. The social values at our common cultural ideals. The views, needs,
and good and bad aspects of people in society can be assessed through these
ideals.
As people grow up, they learn all the
social values. Everyone gets equal importance and facilities in society.
Showing respect to the elderly person, offering love and affection to the
younger one, and exercising truthfulness and justice are the social values
present in almost every society. People acquire these values from society. The
values of the united social life can be expressed through their lifestyle; for
example, the social values of a Bangladeshi or an Indian are different from those
of a Chinese person. The Bangladeshi and the Indian are different from the
Chinese people. The Bangladeshi or an Indian is different from the Chinese
people. The Bangladeshi and the Indian people place great importance on their
lifestyle regarding spiritual development, sacrificing their own interests for
the sake of others, etc. On the contrary, the fundamental characteristic of the
life of Chinese people is the development of prosperity or wealth. The social
values influence the personality of a human being, which can be evident from their
thinking, behavior, and conduct.
