What are the examples of socialization?

Socialization? Socialization is an individual's effort to adjust to the needs of the immediate family, to a social circle of friends and to the wider community he/she resides in. In other words, an infant, who in the early stages of his/her life is a totally selfish creature, learns by interacting with family and later with the community, that he/she can not always get his/her way.
