According to Merriam-webester.com, culture is the

customary beliefs, social forms, and material traits of a racial,
religious or social group.

What is It

7
 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.

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.

8
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 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.

9
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.

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
10
young age, a child is instilled with 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.

In his/her
dealing with
religious
affiliations, a
person’s
belief in
Omnipotent
Being is

11
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.
