PROBLEMS OF AGE-SPECIFIC SOCIALIZATION IN THE CONTEXT OF GLOBALIZATION

This article examines the problems of age-specific socialization in the context of globalization, highlighting the contradictions between traditional mechanisms of value transmission and modern global influences. The study explores the theoretical foundations of socialization, the role of family and educational institutions, as well as the growing impact of digital media and social networks on youth. Special attention is given to the challenges of identity formation, cultural continuity, and psychological well-being among children, adolescents, and young adults. The analysis reveals that globalization introduces both opportunities and risks: it enables intercultural exchange and access to global knowledge, while also generating cultural homogenization, value conflicts, and identity crises. The findings emphasize the importance of strengthening family involvement, adapting education systems, and promoting digital literacy to ensure balanced socialization. The article concludes that sustainable development of younger generations requires harmonizing global exposure with local traditions, thereby fostering resilience, cultural awareness, and responsible participation in the global community.
