Socialization is strongly influenced by which of the following?

Social class

Norms and values

Family and peer networks

All of the above

Socialization is the process of learning and internalizing norms, values, and behaviors that are culturally accepted. This process is strongly influenced by multiple factors, including social class, norms and values, and family and peer networks. Each of these factors plays a significant role in shaping an individual's socialization. For example, a person's social class can determine their access to resources and opportunities, which can greatly impact their social experiences and behaviors. Similarly, norms and values in a society can influence how individuals are expected to behave and interact with others. And family and peer networks can provide the primary sources of socialization for an individual, as they learn and model behaviors through observation and interaction with others. Therefore, the most accurate response is D, as all of the other options listed are important influences on socialization.
