Identify the two main influences on political socialization that we experience from early childhood.

What will be an ideal response?


Historically, social scientists have identified the family and school as the two major influences on political socialization. Our families teach us that it is-or is not-valuable to be an informed citizen, and they coach us in civic participation. Schools influence our political socialization by teaching us shared cultural values. Both family and schools establish within us our foundations of political and civic awareness.
