Abstract

The process of socializa fion begins/ram the very birth DJ the child. The first mediators between society and the child are the parents. Parents have exclusive access to the child when it acquires the first information about the world around him. The specific emotional relationship between the parents and the child increases such socializing power of the family. The jact that parents can directly influence the formation of the ethnic identity of the child and thus transmit the norms and values that are characteristic of their own culture must not be neglected. On the other hand, children through imitation and identification con accept certain attitudes and behaviors from their parents. Both types of model learning can lead to a pronounced ethnic identity in children. In this paper we will try to examine the impact of the level of education of parents on creating the perception of their children in relation to members of other ethnic groups.
