When an adult migrates from from a rural community to the city, he enters a world of unfamiliar roles, new social relationships, and different patterns of behavior. Through socialization into the culture and social organization of the rural community, he develops an understanding of that community with its recognized social positions, and the role prescriptions and behavior associated with these positions. In the city, a process of resocialization must occur if the migrant is to become an effective participant in urban life. Through interaction with others in the urban setting, he will be enabled to acquire a greater or lesser understanding of the city's social structure and of the role prescriptions and behavior associated with these new and different positions
