There is the need to critically assess the role of the family again due to the recent new arising problems in the society. I am optimistic that your comments will add value to this rethinking.
What can you do to promote world peace? Go home and love your family.

Learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Be happy now. Don't wait for something outside of yourself to make you happy in the future. Think how really precious is the time you have to spend, whether it's at work or with your family. Every minute should be enjoyed and savored.
- Earl Nightingale

It is the first, primary and lifelong influencer of a person. As such, it still remains a crucial and an important agent for the socialization of individuals.
Hello
As the world lives, the family is the foundation for the development of our civilization. No matter what kind of creatures on earth. Their socialization is built with the family and the environment. Additionally, it develops through the created worldview conditions.
I also think yes, the family is the base of civilization and development.
best regard
yes, family is very important! But most of us have only some information about their own families. This information is not complete because we know only the things we were told about. Of course we can suspect - like something is wrong... or everything goes wonderfully - but all of this is on the level of suspicions/guesses.
Actually how the families live (or should behave in various circumstances) we learn from Fiction Books and/or from "Soap-Opera-Movies" - 'so called serials.
The family is one of the first stages in which an individual develops and learns good behavior and ethics
Developmental psychology emphasizes that people are especially important for the first 6-7 years of their personality, emotional and mental well-being. Therefore, issues such as whether this period is passed with parents or whether the family is free of problems are very important. To ensure that individuals of healthy, harmonious, hassle-free and happy in all aspects of development can participate in the society, depend on being grown up and educated by compassionate, caressing parents who know their responsibilities.
The family should be the bedrock, most important and crucial agent of socialization of an individual.
However, in this modern age we witness a lot of dysfunctional families in which the parents do not spend quality family time with their kids but hand over their children to caregivers such as nannies, baby sitters etc. and as the kids grow up, they are enrolled into boarding schools.
Therefore, if we are considering the crucial agents of socialization of an individual, the following must not be overlooked:
• The caregivers
• The peer group
• The social media
• The internet
• and last but not the least the School where the individual is trained.
The aforementioned are quintessential to the value orientation of an individual or groups of individuals.
Woman is the backbone of the family, and family is the bedrock and the foundation of the society.
It is obvious that the family is the bedrock and foundation of the society. But, the foundation seems to be overwhelmed by other factors i.e social groups, pear groups, professional groups, education, environment, religion, urbanization, among others. it seems the foundation laid by the family in terms of values, norms have been eroded by these factors.
Family is still and will always remain the bedrock of an individual -
- It keeps the person grounded.
- It treats the person with care and affection.
- It is there when a person is down and out.
- It is not like the fair weather friends.
- It is what a person goes back to.
- It is what a person is related in blood to.
- It is what gives birth to a person.
The family is the basic rule in society and no one can create without the family has an important role in it, so the role of the family in the lives of people will continue to increase importance day after day .
Yes family is still the bedrock of socialization of an individual. In majority of cases I have seen that family culture is responsible for the entire foundation of the individual. The individual is the mirror of what his family is. Individual perceives the world, learns and behaves in the society is his family background. His make up of mind is the back ground of his family members.
This trend is slowly changing. Earlier a tailor's son would be a tailor and carpenter's son will become carpenter. This is not so in the modern era. To that extent there is a change in the mind set of the people. However family still is considered as a bedrock in the final make up of an individual.
While family is a bedrock of socialization of an individual the primary influence of family has eroded significantly with the changes occurring in our modern societies. While it was suggested that the sons and daughters will follow the advice of the fathers and mothers this model is not so prevalent as public education is taking many of the functions family once occupied. In society today there are many modernists which are very much into a freer social structure. It is undoubtable that in societies where the family values erode the societal structure frays. In one parent households the vacuum can lead to more problems with diliquency and other behaviors. In societies such as western ones with greater divorce and the number of one parent families skyrocketing. The erosion of families is also associated with less dependency on societal consciousness on faith focus in their lives. What societies need to do to regain effective family functioning is one of great value.
Definitely .... family is still the bedrock or the most important and crucial agent of socialization of an individual.
The moulding a persons character begins with that of his/her family, all its members and their character
A family with good values definitely makes a good ad responsible citizen.
Yes, indeed!. Let me share with you a reflexion on this matter because of the recent shooters in USA. https://www.crisismagazine.com/2018/fatherless-shooters-liberals-push-fatherless-families
There is no doubt that the family is still the bedrock of socialization of an individual. An individual is, what his or her family is! The basic mental makeup of a person is naturally built according to the mental makeup of the family members! Culture of a family is reflected in a person's behavior and social awareness. Family imbibes virtues and ethical values in a person, which has a lifelong effect on the person's being, which then conveys the same in his or her persona!
Family is still the bedrock, most crucial agent of socialization of an individual till date.
Yes, family is the primary source, but in present scenario, we cannot ignore the other factors, specially media, which is trying to overcome the other social agencies in later years of development..
Dear Kayod Asaju
You ask the following: Is the family still the bedrock or the most important and crucial agent of socialization of an individual?
What follows is a succint answer to your timely question. I think that family, school and the media are have a crucial role in socialization of an individual. Let me be a bit more precise
As I see it, parents, teachers, and the media have a pivotal role in children's socialization, namely in their education and psychological development. However, it is important to stress that there are parents and parents, and teachers and teachers, media, and media .
For example, there is accumulated evidence that shows that authoritative parents or teachers, who are demanding in cognitive terms, but warm in affective terms, have beneficial effects , for example, on children's cognitive, social, emotional, moral, and even aesthetic development. This is not the case of authoritorian or permissive parents and teachers. The former are demanding in cognitive terms, but cold in terms of affectivity; the latter are guided, say, by the slogan laissez faire, laissez passer, laisser aller (let's it go). Both the former and the latter hinder children's education, socialization, and psychogical development. D. Baurimd's work on styles of parenting (and teaching) -- authoritative, authoritarian, or permissive -- is a must regarding children's education, socialization and psychological development. It has also been found that, say, positional families, in contrast to personal families, have detrimental effects on children's education, development and socialization. Whereas the latter value persons in themselves, the former value more the position or status of a person (e.g., his/her gender, socio-economical status, and the like), than the person in him/herself.
I wonder whether you are acquianted with M. Hoffman's classic and seminal work on the effect of discipline or socialization strategies parents (and teachers) use to deal with misdeeds committed by their children/pupils. More precisely, Hoffman conceptualized three types of such strategies: power assertion, withdrawl of love and inductive practices. Power assertion is the case, when parents/teachers use, for example, their physical and psychological power over resources to control children's misdeeds (e.g., "If you hit your sister, you have no toys any more"'). Withdrawl of love occurs when, for that purpose, parents/teachers make of a kind of black mail (i.e., "If you don't study, Mommy doesn't like you anymore). Inductive practices are the case when parents/teachers tend to control children's misdeeds through explanatory practices (e.g., "If you hit your sister she will be hurt). Hoffman found that inductive strategies give rise to moral autonomy, a morality guided by the ideas of equality, cooperation, and mutual respect. In contrast to this, power assertion and withdrawal of love tend to give rise to a heteronomous morality, a morality based on the ideas of coercion, fear, and unilateral respect. It should be also noticed that friends and media (e.g., video-games, TV, and so forth) play an important role in children's development, education, and socialization. Of course, we may have friends whose "friendship" is based on egocentric reasons, or friends that value friendship as an interpersonal value in itself. As for the media, some of which are oriented to the true, the good, and the beautiful, and some to the untrue, the bad, and the ugly.

I agree with most answers given. Additionally, if an individual feels like something is missing at home, upbringing, morals, knowledge, etc. they may seek for it somewhere else. All life skills, coping skills, survival, or other types of skills are learned at home (the family) or the result of something happening near home (the family). Many individuals may adopt another non-blood related group of people to become their family. Even if a person chooses to isolate themselves from a family, they will in one way or another find another or "family" will find them.
Family is older than society. The concept of society aroused in Europe after French revolution. The concept of society presupposes publicity, a public space in which discussions and actions of individuals and of groups are perceived, discussed and valuated across the existing social classes. The world of the Middle Ages and the feudal state did not need a bourgeois public. There existed only those who had the power and those who spend their lives as exploited people - dependend on the power and the mercy of the ruling class thamt means clans (fleading families) , the monarch and nobility. The families of the nobles had much estate, asset, property - and many contacts with other families, also in international relations. Marriage was important for a clan getting more power.
In ancient Greece and under Roman rule, however, existed preforms of modern public life in the context of political meetings, assemblies , which were rediscovered in Europe in the early modern period. See also the "town meetings" of the Pilgrim Fathers in America after 1620.
Dear Colleges
I agree with the answer added by Dr K N Sheth
The reason that, Dr. Sheth speaking from her experience, so as indicated that in majority of cases she has realized that family culture is responsible for the entire foundation of the individual.
Best regards.
