THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SOCIAL STRUCTURES, VALUES AND EDUCATION

As individuals are also social beings, they get shaped through an interaction with social environment surrounding them. Various social institutions have an impact on this process not only in terms of socializing individuals into society but also forming their unique personalities. Education might be the most important of all these institutions as it is essential to equip people with necessary skills and knowledge in order to prepare them to deal with the varying social circumstances. Besides, taking the components of social structures into consideration during this preparation process would be effective on achieving positive social transformation of individuals. On the other hand, fundamental dynamics of society, elements of culture, and social values also have to be taken into account for the success. Therefore, it could be said that education and educational institutions play a major role on attaining desired socialization outcomes.
