Non-political agents of political socialization

Socialization of a personality is a necessary pre-condition for the entrance and adaptation of a man in the society, a multidimensional process, which objective is to understand the essence of the social phenomena and acts of a concrete person. Political socialization is a part of this process which foresees that a person has to master this political culture and political roles, formation of qualities and values required for the adaptation to the concrete political system and implementation of certain political roles. The essence of political socialization is in the “rising” of a personality from the simple “being informed” to the state of awareness of political persuasions and pro-active approach to life. The study of this question is of current importance for Ukraine as a country which is in the process of democratic transformations.
