II. PRESENTATION
Socialization refers to a lifelong social experience by which people develop their human
potential and learn cuzlture. Although it is a general process, socialization always takes
place in specific contexts. It is culturally specific: people in different cultures are socialized
differently to hold different beliefs and values and to behave in different ways.

A. Discussion

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.

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.

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.

Three goals of socialization


In his 1995 paper intitled “ Broaf and Narrow Socialization: The family in the context of
cultural Theory, sociologist Jeffrey J. Arnett outlined his interpretation of the three primary
goals of socialization:

1. Sociolazition teaches impulse control and helps individuals develop a conscience. This
first goal is accomplished naturally. As people grow up within a particular society, they pick
up on the expectations of those around them and internalize these expectations to
moderate their impulses and develop a conscience.

2. Socialization teaches individuals how to prepare for and perform certain social roles-
occupational roles, gender roles and the roles of institutions such as marriage and
parenthood.

3. Socialization cultivates shared sources of meaning and value. Through socialization.


People learn to identify what is important and valued within a particular culture.

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.

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 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 behavior 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 behavior 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


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.
