The system of political process of political socialization has a special place for the reason that this process is common to all people without exception and continues throughout life.We often hear speculation, statements by one or another individual about his political shutdown.They say that it is not interested in politics, do not engage in political activities and in general, the policy is not interested.Yes, you are not interested in politics as such.But exclude yourself from the system of political relations can not be a single person.The political sphere of society is the same objective as the other - economic, social, spiritual and cultural.And that's why no one can out of it "to go", just as it is impossible to abandon the consumption of products, communication, mastering skills of interaction with other people.
This is the objective presence of people in the political reality and reflects the phenomenon of political socialization.
In the simplest sense, this phenomenon can be viewed as a derivative of the total socialization of the individual.The main difference is that the political socialization involves the assimilation of the individual more narrow and specific set of values and norms - political.During this process, the individual formed a certain system of political values, attitudes, preferences, and then the plant, which determine the degree of its involvement in real political life.It is characterized by a different concept - political participation.
The content of political socialization make laws, regulations and rules of politics, stereotypes and patterns of political behavior and political thinking, ideas, theories, political programs and characters, and more, in the end allows you to create criteria to do with the government and provideown political identity.
These attributes person learns in the course of the bilateral process, which is the political socialization.On the one hand, it has a man himself, on the other - sources - parents, staff classmates, teachers, teachers.However, the main agents of political socialization are the political institutions: the state, parties, social movements and organizations.
derived from bilateral nature and those public functions that perform this process.First of all, it is a function of the orientation, allowing the individual more or less determined by the political space and time.Secondly, it is a function of adaptation and aggregation, which allows a person to have the skills of performance within the political reality of those or other meaningful action.These actions are recorded, usually through role behavior of the individual.
Despite the subjectivity of the process, the political socialization of the person has some laws that allow at its most divided into two main types.
