Socialization
• Enculturation refers to the

process through which we learn
about the culture we live in.
Through enculturation, we learn
what behaviors, values,
language, and morals are
acceptable in our society. We
learn by observing other
members of our society,
including our parents, friends,
teachers, and mentors.

GOALS OF
SOCIALIZATION by J.
Arnett
• Socialization prepares people

to participate in a social
group by teaching them its
norms and expectations.
• It has three primary goals:
• teaching impulse control and
developing a conscience,
• preparing people to perform
certain social roles,
• cultivating shared sources of
meaning and value
• Family
• Education/
School
• Peer groups
• Religious
organization
• Workplace
• Mass media.
FAMILY
• The family is
traditionally
considered to be the
first agent of
socialization. This is
because it is the first
group that a child
interacts with and
learns from.
• Families are often the
first people to teach
children their norms,
values and beliefs.
Peer groups
• It is made up of people who
are similar in age and social
status and who share
interests. Peer group
socialization begins in the
earliest years, such as when
kids on a playground teach
younger children the norms
about taking turns, the rules
of a game, or how to shoot a
basket.
• Peer groups help children to
be socialized by making them
learn to behave in a way that
is socially acceptable with
age-peers.
Mass Media
• Mass media is another
agent of socialization.
• Television shows,
movies, popular music,
magazines, Web sites,
and other aspects of the
mass media influence
our political views;
our tastes in popular
culture; our views of
women, people of
color, and gays; and
many other beliefs
and practices.
School
• Schools are agents
of socialization
that not only teach
us subject
knowledge and life
skills but also
social skills
through our
interactions with
teachers, staff, and
other students.
Religious
Organizatio
n
• It helps individuals
learns and
internalizes
religious
beliefs,
attitudes,
values, and
behaviors.
Workplace
• The workplace
performs its
socialization
function through
onboarding. This is
the mechanism
through which new
employees acquire
the necessary
knowledge, skills and
behaviors to become
effective
organizational
members.
Functions of
Socialization
• Personal and Role
Development
• Skills Development and
Training
• Values Formation
• Social Integration and
Adjustment
• Social Control and Stability
Importance of
Socialization
• Socialization is just as
essential to us as
individuals. Social
interaction provides the
means for us to able to
see ourselves through
the eyes of others, and
how we learn who we
are and how we fit into
the world around us.
Status
and Role
• Status is the rank or
position that a person
holds. In sociology,
status's definition often
describes a particular
role that correlates
with a status.
• Role is the expected
behavior of an
individual who
occupies a given social
position or status.
Types of Social
Status
• Ascribed status is a term used in
sociology that refers to the social
status of a person that is assigned at
birth or assumed involuntarily later in
life. The status is a position that is
neither earned by the person nor
chosen for them.
• Examples are sex, race, ethnicity,
ability, ancestry, and caste
Types of Social
Status
• Achieved status is a concept
developed by the anthropologist Ralph
Linton for a social position that a
person can acquire on the basis of
merit and is earned or chosen. It is the
opposite of ascribed status and reflects
personal skills, abilities, and efforts.
• Examples of achieved status
include becoming an athlete,
lawyer, doctor, parent, spouse,
criminal, thief, or a university
professor.
