SOCIALIZATION

B. Development
(What I know? What’s
in? What is it?)
 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 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
B. Development experiences in you. It is in the school that your behavior and attitude are shape to become a better member
(What I know? What’s
of society. So a part of your personality is developed by this agent. Do you agree?
in? What is it?)
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.
 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.

As an individual grows up in a social group, he/she learns to understand his/her identity. This is
where enculturation comes in. Enculturation is the process by

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
B. Development valuing friendship among friends and classmates). A person becomes more civilized as he learns more of

in? What is it?)
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.
