The Role of Social Media in Socialization
Keywords:
Childhood, mainstream moviesAbstract
Childhood and adolescence are stages of significant physical, mental, and emotional changes. In adolescence, young people are exposed to society the most, and as they face practical problems, they re-evaluate their learned social behaviour. However, the real world often differs from what they have learned about social behaviour, so they need to keep updating their knowledge. Nowadays, with the rapid spread of media, children are quickly exposed to the real world through various forms of entertainment such as movies, TV shows, social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter, etc. Unfortunately, some of these forms of media contribute negatively to the socialization process of young people.
