socialised

Socialised is a term that can refer to several related concepts, primarily concerning the process by which individuals learn and internalize the norms, values, and behaviors of their society or a particular group. This learning typically occurs through interaction with others, such as family, peers, educational institutions, and media. It's a fundamental aspect of human development, enabling individuals to function within a social context.

In a broader sense, socialised can also describe something that has been made available or accessible to the general public, or that has been brought under public control or ownership. For instance, socialised medicine refers to a healthcare system where services are funded and often provided by the government, making them accessible to all citizens. This contrasts with private healthcare systems where access is often determined by an individual's ability to pay. The term is often used in discussions about economic and political systems, particularly when comparing different models of resource distribution and service provision.
