46. Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow based on your understanding of the passage :Of all the factors that influence behaviour and attitudes, society and culture are the most comprehensive. Most people rarely or never escape these influences. Cultural and social norms prescribe both the large and small conditions of our life. Cultural values and norms come to govern individual behaviour through the process known as Socialization. For most children in most cultures, the first agent of socialization is the family, which teaches the society’s basic modes of behaviour. Institutions like schools are also early agents of socialization and train children in some of the basic skills required for survival in the society. Both the family and the school transmit some of the culture’s dominant values and practices, whether these consist of monotheism or polytheism, competition or cooperation, monogamy or polygamy, achievement or traditionalism.Without the process of socialization, societies would not endure in any consistent form. Socialization makes it likely that each new generation, though different in some ways, will still bear a strong resemblance to previous generations. It increases the probability that you will have more in common with your parents than with someone from another country. The anthropologist Ralph Linton was referring to socialization when he said , “The individual is only an incident in the life history of his society.”This passage shows that behaviour is influenced by :
(A). Geneology
(B). Cultural-social norms
(C). Educational norms
(D). Work environment
