Influence of Media on Political Socialization

Political socialization is a complex process influenced by various factors throughout an individual's life. The agents of socialization not only shape one's political ideologies but also determine how these ideologies are expressed in political behavior. Key agents include family, peers, schools, media, and social environments.

Consider how these influences interact with each other and contribute to an individual's overall political identity. Understanding these dynamics is essential for analyzing voting behavior and civic participation.
