What Is It
A human being should not live by himself or herself because he or she is a
social being who needs other people. Baleña, E. et. al. (2016) stress out that for man
to survive, and to develop himself or herself as a human being, there is a need for
social interaction. He or she should be with others and interact with them in order to
realize his or her dreams and to withstand whatever adversities encountered in life in
a given society. To become a full member of a society, he or she has to acquire and
learn all the necessary social roles and skills. The process of learning these skills
and social roles is called socialization. Socialization is a process in which society
molds the individual to conform to established social norms and rules.
Socialization as a process through which people learn the rules and practices
needed to participate successfully in their culture and society. Its process is very
essential in man’s daily life because it teaches man how to behave and act within
society. Consequently, if he or she does know how to socialize and conform to
standards, his or her actions may impede social order.
In an article written by Cole (2020), she points out the key parts of
socialization. It comprises of context, content, process and results. Context includes
culture, language, social structures, the ranks and roles that people have played.
While context sets the stage for socialization, the content and process constitute the
work of this undertaking. At home, assigning household chores by parents and telling
their children how to relate with others are examples of content and process as
they are defined by the duration of socialization, those involved, the methods used,
and the type of experience. In schools, students are provided with guidelines, rules
and policies when interacting with the school authorities and other students. Reward
is given to those compliant students; and a punishment is given to those deviants.
Hence, they acquire the correct behavioral norms suitable for school. Results are
the consequences of socialization which refer to the way one reasons and acts after
going through the process. Babies need the support of their parents and older
siblings as they cannot live independently. However, as they grow older, they
acquire the proper ways in doing things by themselves such as obeying laws,
respecting the authorities among others.
Santarita and Madrid (2016) describe that socialization takes place when
prospective culture bearers learn the body of knowledge and skills through
education, training, exposure, and experience; while enculturation occurs when
cultural knowledge is passed on to the next bearer who will perpetuate and ensure
the continuation of culture. Both socialization and enculturation result to identity
formation, developing norms and values, and statuses and roles:
A. Identity Formation
Norms are those culturally determined rules that guide people regarding what
is “right”, “wrong”, “proper”, “improper”. They create predictability in daily affairs and
interactions, making it easier to live with other members of society. They are
fundamental to the establishment of social order in any societies (Newman, 2012 as
cited by Santarita and Madrid). These include society’s standards of morality, good
manners, legality, and integrity. The following are forms of norms:
Role, on the other hand, involves the pattern of expected behavior in a social
relationship with one or more persons occupying other statuses. (Panopio, 1994). It
is what the individual is expected to do, given his status. This involves inclusive
citizenship, in which the citizens are given a strong feeling that they are a part of the
overall society. By making the citizens feel that the government values their
viewpoints, the people are then motivated to participate in the elections, civic
participation, and military service.
What’s More
1. The process of learning these skills and social roles is called enculturation.
2. Socialization is the process by which an individual learns culture and assimilates
its practices and values.
3. Statuses are those culturally determined rules that guide people regarding what
is “right”, “wrong”, “proper”, “improper”.
4. Laws regulate and control the people’s behaviour and conduct.
5. Folkways involve the pattern of expected behaviour in a social
relationship with one or more persons occupying other statuses.
