 What is It

In this part of your journey, we provide something for you to read in order to
deepen your understanding about the topic.

Please do it with comprehension to discover knowledge that will help you out in
dealing with the next phase of your quest.

SOCIALIZATION

Do you see the picture? What do you

have in mind?

Very good! If you think that socialization

is very important in our lives, you are
absolutely correct. But what is meant by
socialization really?

Socialization simply means the process of

learning one’s society and its culture. It
is moreover the same as interacting,
mingling and being with other people or
groups within/ outside of your society.

8
How do you feel in a situation when it seems that you don’t belong and you are
being isolated? Good thinking! Of course you will feel sad and lonely. That kind of
feeling only shows that socialization is important to you --- and to all of us.

Through socialization, one learns the culture’s language, their roles in life, and
what is expected from them. Without socialization, a person will develop different
physical and mental disabilities. It is sad to know that individuals with no
successful socialization develop mental illness, abnormal or odd behavior and self
-isolation. Do you know that there are different groups of people that influence your
orientations and perspectives to life? These groups are called agents of
socialization. These agents play a crucial role in developing yourself as a person
and a member of the society.

Family is the first agent of socialization.

Most of the habits, manners, beliefs and the
way we think are develop in the family. A
huge part of your personality is molded by
your family because this is where you spent
your childhood. Your family influences you
on the way you behave and act as a person.
This is when socialization process is crucial
and intense. Do you still remember your
happy moments in school? Of course you do.

School is another agent of socialization.

Here, you interact or socialize with other
people- your classmates, teachers,
administrators and others which are outside
your family within a society. Your
socialization with them has made a lot of

9
experiences in you. It is in the school that your behavior and attitude are shape to
become a better member of society. So a part of your personality is developed by
this agent. Do you agree?

Your circle of friends is also an agent of

socialization. It is called peer group. Your peers
usually have similar ages, social status and share
interests. Your peer group influences you on the
way you can accept yourself. It is with your peer
group that you find yourself belonged.
I’m sure you learned a lot from your friends, didn’t you? So, you are right when you
think that they are also important agent in shaping your personality.

Social media as agent of socialization plays a crucial role in shaping your

personality as well. Majority of us, young and old, are connected through social
media. Much of our waking time is
spent on using social media.

So, this agent of socialization influences

your way of life intensively thus doing
large part in your personal
development. There are other
socialization agents who are also
important in moulding you as a person:
the community, the church and the
government.

10
You see? What you are now is a product of socialization. You have been socializing
from the time you were born until now. Socialization is a continuing process until
we die. Socialization is really a necessity for it develops you as person.

ENCULTURATION

We are living in a
society of many
cultures. Culture is
the customary
beliefs, social forms,
and material traits of
a racial, religious or
social group
(merriam-webster.
com). These cultures
make people different
from one another. A
group has a set of
shared attitudes and
practices which are
partially or even
totally apart from
what others have.

As an individual grows up in a social group, he/she learns to understand his/her

identity. This is where enculturation comes in. Enculturation is the process by
which people learn the requirements of their surrounding culture and acquire
values and behaviours appropriate or necessary in that culture
(https://www.definitions.net/definition/Enculturation).

According to Stephen A. Grunland and Marvin K. Mayers (1988) (as cited from
Hoebel, 1982), enculturation is both a conscious and an unconscious
conditioning process whereby man, as child and adult, achieves competence in
his culture, internalizes his culture and
becomes thoroughly enculturated.
Socializing with people plays a great part
in achieving it. He/she deals with. An
individual also learns from observing the
surrounding he/she is in.

As a child lives with his family and the

community, he/she adapts socially
accepted values (e.g. attending to religious
obligations, respecting the elders, etc.) At a
very young age, a child is instilled with

11
values by his/her parents and family. He / She sees the importance of being
together as respected when they eat. Also, he/she learns the foundations of
learning; be it reading the alphabet and counting of numbers.

In school, he/she learns to be

socially educated person as he/she
observes and adapts the behaviour
of other people (e.g. singing the
National Anthem, paying respect to
the flag, showing respect to
teachers and valuing friendship
among friends and classmates). A
person becomes more civilized as
he learns more of culturally
accepted behaviour and knowledge
in school.

In a community, a person may be

inspired to practice social duties
and obligations as observed and learned from those who do great contributions for
the welfare of most people. In these practices, one may also become a steward of
goodwill.

A teenager learns to clothe

himself/herself like his/her friends
or in great chances, adapts how they
behave and act. He / She appreciate
the value of friendship, learn to find
joy in sharing commonalities and
accepts differences in choices and
decisions. His / Her confidence in
dealing with people can be rooted
from a well-maintained relationship
with friends.

The government upon its imposition

of law refines a person’s way of living.
Through which, he/she learns his
civil rights and exercises them
righteously. Likewise, he/she learns
to respect government policies and
abides to them, knowing that every
action has limitation.

12
In his/her dealing with religious affiliations, a person’s belief in Omnipotent Being
is strengthened. This cultivates the idea that everyone like a brother and a sister.
Thus, respect towards one another is valued. He or she learns to respect
differences in faith.

Parents and other authorities are

called the initiators of
enculturation. As one is
enculturated by those initiators,
the process is manifested in
his/her actions, choices and
decisions. If it is not because of
enculturation, a person will not
become the way he/she in the
society. One will not be able to
discern what is right from wrong or
even make actions to handle
problems encountered. Because of
enculturation, an individual knows
the boundaries of his/her actions,
words and ideals. As a learned
individual, one becomes accepted
by the group he/she belongs with.
Enculturation teaches a person of
his/her roles in the society. True
enough, he/she becomes functional member of the society.
