SOCIALIZATION
 It is the process that introduces people to social norms
and customs. This process helps individuals function well
in society, and, in turn, helps society run smoothly. Family
 members, teachers, religious leaders, and peers all play
roles in a person’s socialization.
 It is how we learn the norms and beliefs of our society.
From our earliest family and play experiences, we are
made aware of societal values and expectations.
 It happens almost each and every moment of our life
whether we are at home, in a park interacting with
neighbors or in school setting.

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.
Acculturation
 It is the process by which people learn the requirements of
their surrounding culture and acquire the values and
behaviors appropriate or necessary in that culture.

transmits its culture from one generation to the next and adapts
the individual to the accepted and approved ways of organized
social life.

attitudes, values and actions appropriate to individuals as
members of a particular culture. This is mainly influenced by
the immediate family and friends. Example, Toilet training of
infants

appropriate behavior as a member of a smaller group within the
larger society. For example, as new employees become

and empathy. It provides their own opportunities for
socialization since kids usually engage in different types of
activities with their peers than they do with their families.

information to a wide audience, via television, newspapers,
radio, and the internet.
