Study Notes

Enculturation

Enculturation is the process by which people learn the requirements of their surrounding culture and acquire values and behaviors appropriate or necessary in that culture.
It's a conscious and unconscious conditioning process whereby an individual achieves competence in their culture, internalizes their culture, and becomes thoroughly enculturated.

Socialization

Socialization is a necessity for developing oneself as a person.
It's the process of learning one's society and its culture through interacting, mingling, and being with other people or groups within/outside of one's society.
Socialization is crucial for learning culturally accepted behavior and knowledge, and it's a continuing process throughout one's life.

Agents of Socialization

Family is the first agent of socialization, influencing habits, manners, beliefs, and the way one thinks.
School is another agent of socialization, where one interacts with teachers, classmates, and administrators, shaping behavior and attitude to become a better member of society.
Peer group (circle of friends) is also an agent of socialization, influencing one's self-acceptance and sense of belonging.
Other agents of socialization include the community, the church, and the government.

Importance of Socialization

Socialization is important for developing one's personality and becoming a civilized member of society.
Without socialization, a person may develop physical and mental disabilities, such as mental illness, abnormal behavior, and self-isolation.
Socialization helps individuals learn the culture's language, roles in life, and what is expected from them.
