    Socialization

    -Socialization is important in the process of personality formation. While much of human personality
    is the result of our genes, the socialization process can mold it in particular directions by encouraging
    specific beliefs and attitudes as well as selectively providing experiences.
    Successful socialization can result in uniformity within a society. If all children receive the same socialization, it
    is likely that they will share the same beliefs and expectations. This fact has been a strong motivation for
    national governments around the world to standardize education and make it compulsory for all
    children. Deciding what things will be taught and how they are taught is a powerful political tool for
    controlling people. Those who internalize the norms of society are less likely to break the law or to want
    radical social changes. In all societies, however, there are individuals who do not conform to culturally defined
    standards of normalcy because they were "abnormally" socialized, which is to say that they have not
    internalized the norms of society. These people are usually labeled by their society as deviant or even mentally
    ill.
    Socialization is known as the process of inducting the
    individual into the social world. The term
    socialization refers to the process of interaction
    through which the growing individual learns the
    attitudes, values and beliefs of the social group into
    which he has been born
    Enculturation
    Process where all individuals undergo throughout his life, it is both a
    conscious and unconscious procedure starting from birth until to
    death. In connection to that, it happens not only when a person
    goes to school for formal education, but, Enculturation happens
    through family, peers and other individuals that socializes with the
    person throughout his lifetime.
    Through enculturation, a person would be able to learn and
    understand social norms, values and languages behavior and other
    important things about the person’s culture.
    A person would be conscious of his rights,
    obligations and privileges.
    Theories on How the Self,
    as a Product of Socialization

    1.Freud’s model of personality- Sigmund Freud


    (1856-1939) combine basic needs and the
    influence of society into a model of personality
    with three parts: id, ego, and superego.
    Theories on How the Self,
    as a Product of Socialization
    Jean Piaget's theory-Cognitive Development. Through a series of
    stages, Piaget proposed four stages of cognitive development: the sensorimotor,
    preoperational, concrete operational and formal operational period.

    2.Piaget’s theory of cognitive development- studies human recognition,


    or how people think and understand. Identified four stages of Cognitive
    Development
    STAGE 1- Sensorimotor Stage (first two years of life)-development at
    which individuals know the world only through FIVE SENSES
    STAGE 2- PREOPERATIONAL STAGE (about age two-seven)
    Individual first use language and other symbols
    Theories on How the Self,
    as a Product of Socialization

    3. STAGE 3 –CONCRETE OPERATIONAL STAGE (between


    the age of 7-11) individuals first see causal connections in
    their surroundings. A child is capable of performing a
    variety of mental operations and thoughts
    using concrete concepts.
    4.STAGE 4- FORMAL OPERATIONAL STAGE (about age 12)
    individual thinks abstractly and critically
    Theories on How the Self,
    as a Product of Socialization

    3. Mead’s Theory of the Social self


    George Herbert Mead
    “Self” is a part of our personality and includes self-awareness and self-
    image
    Mead believed that people develop self-images through interactions with
    other people. He argued that the self, which is the part of a person's
    personality consisting of self-awareness and self-image, is a product of
    social experience.
    George Herbert Mead described the early childhood self-
    development in three stages:
    Preparatory stage (birth – 3 years old) In this stage, the children
    engaged in social interaction with others by imitation.
    Play stage ( 3 years old – 5 years old) .
    Game stage (6 years old – 9 years old)
    Theories on How the Self,
    as a Product of Socialization

    4. Cooley’s Looking-glass self


    The looking-glass self is a social psychological concept, created by Charles Horton
    Cooley in 1902, stating that a person's self grows out of society's interpersonal
    interactions and the perceptions of others
    Cooley believed that it is through these interactions that one begins to develop an
    idea of who they are; therefore, the self is a product of our social interactions. There
    are three phases to the development of self, according to the looking glass self
    theory: We imagine how we present ourselves to others.
    AGENTS of SOCIALIZATION
    As being part of the SOCIETY, people are taught about how an
    individual should act in a given situation. People are always expected
    to act in one way or another.

    There are certain NORMS and VALUES that affect how people behave.
    NORMS and VALUES play an important role in the SOCIETY as they
    both create an EXCELLENT MODEL OF BEHAVIOR
    VALUES – abstract and intangible
    NORMS-more specific NORMS means KAUGALIAN
    Social norms are generally derived from Values since VALUES are the
    beliefs or qualities that a society uphold or idealize. Values are set as to
    what the society wants to become.
    That is why societies have different norms, rules or laws that embody the
    values which aim to make people conform and exhibit desirable behaviors.
    However once these laws are not followed,
    non-conformity or deviance is committed which
    violates the social norms. Because of that norms and values
    greatly influence how people make decisions.
    STATUS AND ROLES

    In addition, each individual in the SOCIETY has its own


    STATUS and ROLES.
    STATUS- generally defined as POSITION or RANK. The
    relative social, professional, or other standing of someone or
    something.
    Social Stratification- hierarchy of social worth
    2 types of STATUS
    1. Achieved Status- obtaining through ones own achievement
    and merit. Achieved through their efforts (teacher,
    doctor,parent,high school graduate)
    2Ascribed Status- obtained not through achievement but
    rather through birth. It is something that an individual is born
    into. Example (gender, eye color, race, and ethnicity, height,
    weight)
    ROLE- what
    individual is
    expected to
    do, given
    status
    Everyone
    has the
    capacity to
    play various
    roles in a
    society.
    WHAT IS YOUR ROLE AS A STUDENT?
    CONFORMITY and DEVIANCE

    SOCIAL CONTROL- process of creating and maintaining stability,


    the power of society over individuals. It is important to have social
    control because it elicits social certain behavior which empowers
    individuals to conforms to the norms.
    Given this, society is known to be a collection of harmonious
    relationship between individuals. WITHOUT HARMONY, there would
    be no existing relationship and there would be NO SOCIETY.
    IDEA OF SOCIAL CONTROL: INVOLVED REWARD AND
    PUNISHMENTS
    Deviant behavior is defined as
    behavior that elicits a strong
    negative reaction from others.
    Conformity is the act of
    matching attitudes, beliefs,
    and behaviors to group norms.
    Norms are implicit, specific
    rules, shared by a group of
    individuals, that guide their
    interactions
    REWARDS- given to individuals who exemplified the
    values and norms, usually those who conform
    IN CONTRAST
    PUNISHMENTS- are given to those individuals who
    deviate from social norms
    THINK

    Is Gossiping (tsismis) and ostracism


    (magtakwil) is positive or negative or both?
    Study by Robb Willer and Matthew Feinberg
    Gossiping and Social Ostracism = elicit positive effects
    According to Feinberg, gossiping and ostracism in their groups
    were able to reform bullies, encourage cooperation
    Gossip- casual conversation or reports about other people,
    typically involving details which are not conformed as true
    Social ostracism- being ignored by other’s who are in ones
    presence
    Personality-the combination of characteristics or qualities
    that form an individuals distinctive character
    To further understand deviance and society ROBERT MERTON, a
    famous sociologist conceptualized theory which is called
    “STRUCTURAL STRAIN THEORY”. It explains behaviors that don’t
    satisfy the norms of society
    The theory states that social structures may pressure citizens to
    commit crimes. Strain may be structural, which refers to the
    processes at the societal level that filter down and affect how the
    individual perceives his or her needs.
    5 DIFFERENT GROUPS OF PEOPLE

    1.Conformist- Accepted Goal. Accepted Means. Group of


    people that follow the norms, and also trust the system which
    would help them achieve their goals.
    2.Ritualists- Reject Goal. Accept Means.
    3.Innovators.Accept Goal, Reject Means
    4.Retrealists- Reject Goals.Reject Means
    5.Rebels- Reject Goal. Reject Mean
    Ritualists- These are the people that reject or do not believe in the goals of
    the society. However, they still accept means by doing the same things as
    what conformist do.Not necessarily mean as lawbreaker.
    Innovators- opposite of ritualists, people that accept the society’s goal,
    however they reject on how to get the society’s goal. Lawbreaker
    Retreatists-These are people who avoid the established goals and avoid the
    means of what they should do.
    Rebels- These people are those who are not satisfied with the current system,
    they are the ones who want to create a change in the system
    HUMAN DIGNITY,RIGHTS AND THE
    COMMON GOOD

    In the conclusion of WORLD WAR II, people recognized the needs of
    people to have rights in order to prevent mass killings and holocaust
    to ever happen again. People back then realized the importance of
    human equality and dignity as the majority of the Jews were tortured
    and killed. That realization has become the basis for creating
    universal rights for humans, it was also that the protection of human
    dignity is a principal driver towards the establishment of the human
    rights.
    HUMAN DIGNITY

    “ALL HUMAN BEINGS ARE BORN FREE AND EQUAL IN DIGNITY


    AND RIGHTS” Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
    (UDHR). Therefore, all humans are entitled to having rights
    regardless of skin, colorm age,self-esteem,and self-regard. Human
    dignity is an intangible idea of one’s self-respect, self-esteem and
    self-regard.
    Commission on Human Rights- established to oversee the
    implementation of human rights
    The dignity of a person is something immeasurable,it cannot be
    expounded or defined.It is personal and invaluable.
    HUMAN RIGHTS
    It is a concept which guarantees equality, freedom
    from degrading behavior, discrimination and
    prejudice views.
    It is a set of privileges as simple because of being
    human. As to being part of the Modern world,
    respecting others and their rights is an important
    factor for the common good. WE SHOULD REALIZE
    THAT WHENEVER OUR HUMAN RIGHTS ARE
    PROTECTED, SO IS OUR HUMAN DIGNITY.
