Social--media is a relatively new term for Romania. In the early 2000s, the idea of Internet and virtual communication was starting to take shape. The digital phenomenon that began to grow starting with the mid 2000, is currently continuing, moreover it is in full development. The digital revolution with all its derivatives, starting from new techniques of using the computer to online platforms that transform the virtual communication into a process easy for any citizen in the world, and ending with the cellular networks, is implementing more software compatible with modern systems, taking over our world. Patrice Flichy describes the Internet as being "the most important invention of the XXth" century. Its origins are found in 1969, at the US Department of Defense, in the ARPANET network (Advanced Research Project Network). So, the internet was the first name of a technological revolution that can be summarised as the digitalisation idea. [1]. Without a doubt the Internet is the main junction at the end of the XXth century and the beginning of the XXIst century, and its expansion in the coming years shall be staggering. Socialization is the fundamental process of transmitting culture and social organization to new generations through different ways - learning their mother tongue, learning to write, learning social norms and values, common traditions and beliefs takeover. In this way, all members of society accept the same fundamental values, using the same rules in interpersonal and social relations. Therefore, socialization is the act of preparing the individual for participation in group life and to common social life. People are being trained to become members of community groups - family, school, workplace, group of friends, etc., and also to know and understand other groups they will never be members of, but will be obligated to communicate with - banks, hospitals, police stations, companies etc. Socialization occurs necessarily within social interaction, the direct relationships between people.If the interhuman relation deprivation is prolonged and extensive, the evolution of an individual might be slowed forever. Therefore, according to the above explained, socialization exclusively represent the communication and direct interaction of individuals wioth other individuals, thus taking on habits, norms, values. |
