Agree 1. Socialization is a process that takes place only during the early years of our
life.
Agree 6. Norms are called as such because they are considered guides of behavior.
Agree 9. Roles that we occupy in life are always coherent and hence are meaningful as a
set.

This belief, however, became less popular during the 20th century as more psychologists
explained through empirical studies that changes in human behavior are closely attributed to learning.
For instance, the Russian physiologist Ivan Pavlov noticed that dogs salivate in the presence of food and
when exposed to anything associated to feeding. If dogs could learn by association and conditioning, then people
would surely have an even greater capacity to do.
In pre-modern societies, learning often takes place through a non-fragmented and integrated process of passing knowledge
from one generation to another. For instance, an Ifugao child learns how to plant rice by becoming an apprentice to his father, a
skilled farmer, not from a structured and formalist agricultural school. In the same way, a child from Bukidnon learns the
treasured epics of his or her forebears by listening to the stories of his or her elders in the community.
Enculturation, therefore, occurs when cultural knowledge is passed on to the next bearer who will perpetuate and ensure the
continuance of their tradition and practices. Enculturation is also a diffusion of one’s culture to another through diverse means,
namely: learning, imposition by force and conquest, among others.
Identity formation- An individual’s identity is formed through his interaction with other people.
Norms and Values- On the one hand, norms are culturally determined rules that guide people regarding what is right,
wrong, proper or improper.
Status and Roles- Status is any position that an individual can occupy in society. It is not a ranked position, but simply a label
that implies certain roles that must be performed.
Many books in sociology define deviance in broad terms, ranging from defiance or violation of societal norms to breakage of
conventions and realms of morality. However, deviance canters on occurrences that violate mores. Mores are one of the
components of norms that are often taken very seriously by society and sometimes codified as laws.
Deviance is checked through social control to ensure that norms and conventions are safeguarded and order preserved. Society
controls individual ideas and behaviors through the following mechanisms:
Labeling Theory- states how members of society label others, whether they are deviant or not.
Gossip – is often practiced in small-scale communities where people know each other personally.
Laws – are formal codes of conduct that are met with negative sanctions when violated

Whether the individual conforms to the norms imposed by the majority of the society or otherwise, he or she should be given
the appropriate space to express himself or herself and possibly participate in democratic processes.
Dignity is inherent to all members of the human family. The word inherent in the UDHR preamble means involved in the
constitution or essential character of something permanent.
Strain Theory
This theory is one of the most-well known explanations about deviant behavior. It states that deviant behavior occurs when
people experience strain or tension when culture imposes goals that individuals should achieve, but the social environment
makes it hard or challenging for individuals should to meet such goals through a legitimate manner.
a. Conformity- Individuals still accept cultural goals and try to achieve them through culturally approved methods.
b. Innovation- Still accept cultural goals but go about in achieving it in a culturally disapproved way.
c. Ritualism- Still live in society and follow its culturally approved ways, but they no longer have already accepted.
d. Retreat- Individuals no longer desire to achieve cultural goals and have abandoned the culturally approved ways of achieving
those goals.
e. Rebellion- Individuals challenge the existing culturally accepted goals by coming up with new ones and also challenge the
prescribed means in achieving cultural goals.
