The answer is socialization.

Explanation:

The term socialization describes the process that individuals undergo to through the course of their lives to become functional members of their respective societies. The first context of socialization is generally within your immediate family. It is your mother primarily who teaches you your first basic skills at acting physically, mentally, and socially in the world. You also learn basic skills from your father and siblings and other family members like your grandparents. Then in most societies school is an important source of socialization as you learn to interact with society more widely as a child and adolescent.
