Introduction
Socialization is knowing a culture and being
able to live in it. It is also a process wherein
individuals learn and get new ideas from others
surrounding them. In line with this, Social
Interactions are events in which people attach
meaning to a situation, interpret what others
are tying to tell them, and respond accordingly.
Their instances may occur accidentally,
repeatedly, and regularly.
