Socialization teaches us role taking.

Explanation:

What this situation illustrates is that the process of socialization teaches us to take different roles in society. A role is a particular behaviour that a person engages in because of the social position that he occupies. This behaviour allows us to place this person in society. The process of socialization allows us to learn this role through our interactions with others, and internalize it so that we can relate successfully to the rest of society.
