What is It

Man as a social being needs other people to survive. We develop ourselves as human
beings through our social interaction. Socialization is a continuing process whereby an
individual acquires a personal identity and learns norms, values, behavior, and social skills
appropriate to his and her social position. Socialization refers to the process by which an

Socialization can be described from two points of view: objectively and subjectively.
Objective Socialization- refers to the society acting upon the child.

Subjective Socialization- The process by which society transmits its culture from one
generation to the next and adapts the individual to the accepted and approved ways of
organized social life.

This perspective on socialization helps identity formation of individuals which is essential in

establishing her/his social skills. Its functions are:

Personality Development It is through the process of socialization that we develop our

sense of identity and belongingness.
Skills Development and Social skills like communication, interpersonal and
Training occupational are developed.

groups and society.

mechanisms set for

play a significant role in introducing and integrating the individual as an accepted and

The agents of socialization guide every individual in understanding what is happening in our
society. People learn to determine what is proper, right or wrong. Social norms were formed

in order to control the individual behavior in the society. The following are forms of social
norms.

life. They are repetitive or the typical habits and patterns of expected behavior followed
within a group of community.

moral significance which are strongly held and emphasized.
Laws- Norms that are enforced formally by a special political organization. Component of
culture that regulates and controls the peo behavior and conduct.
Taboos- behaviors that are absolutely forbidden in specific culture.
Several Theories that explain the existence of deviants (human/groups) and deviance (acts)
Social Control Theory-deviance is primarily caused by a lack in stronger social bonds within
a society.

Rational Choice Theory-

dependent on their perceived cost and benefit of such action.
Differential Association Theory- conformity or deviance is learned by an individual from those
he or she associates with.
Labeling Theory- actions are initially not considered deviant until they are labelled as such
by members of community.
Conflict Theory- society consists of opposing groups of people whose access to power is
unequal.
Structural-functionalist Theory- this theory proposes two perspectives in the formation of
deviant behavior.

Two elements that promote social control:

2. Sanctions- powerful in leading an individual to conform to social norms.
