Study Notes

Socialization

Socialization is a continuous process where individuals learn norms, values, behaviors, and social skills appropriate to their roles within society
Objective socialization is society acting upon the individual, teaching norms and roles through institutions
Subjective socialization is the individual learning behaviors and norms through personal experiences and perspectives
Socialization involves context, content, and processes

Education

Education is a social institution providing knowledge, skills, and cultural values
The Philippines' Department of Education (DepEd) manages and regulates the education system
Education in the Philippines' colonial period was influenced by Spain and the United States
The K-12 program aims to improve the Philippine education system
Types of education include formal (structured, graded system), informal (alternative learning avenues), and non-formal (lifelong learning options)

Social stratification is the categorization of people into socioeconomic layers (e.g., upper, middle, lower classes) based on factors like occupation, income, and social status
Social classes are categories with varying levels of prestige and social standing
Upper class has high social standing and values heritage over wealth while middle class values education.
The lower class primarily depends on their wages earned by performing manual or clerical jobs.
Status is a person's social position, either ascribed (assigned at birth) or achieved (earned through effort)
Prestige is the evaluation of status while esteem is the assessment of one's role-performance.

State Institutions

A state is an organized political community unified by laws and a government
States vary in sovereignty, governance, geography, and interests
States can be sovereign (independent) or subject to external sovereignty
The state is an entity different from a nation (a group of people with shared identity) and a government (the particular group of people managing the state)
Market exchange is a key economic aspect of a state.

Non-State Institutions

Non-state institutions are entities outside the control of the state, often involved in international relations (e.g., banks, corporations, NGOs, trade unions)
Corporations are profit-oriented entities formed by individuals, stockholders or shareholders, with the purpose of operating for profit.
Corporations can be for-profit or non-profit
Multinational corporations (MNCs) extend their operation across multiple countries
Trade unions are worker organizations that advocate for worker rights, including fair compensation, safe working conditions, and educational opportunities

Cooperatives

Cooperatives are businesses owned, controlled, and operated by their members to satisfy their common economic, social, and cultural needs.
They often play a vital role in community wealth and economic development.
Worker cooperatives: Owned, operated, and run by workers at the worksite;
Consumer cooperatives: Owned and operated by paying customers of the co-op;
Producer cooperatives: Owned and operated by groups who collaborate to market, produce, process products;
Purchasing cooperatives: Groups unite to enhance their purchasing power.

Governance and Inequalities

Symbolic capital are resources gained by honor and prestige
Governments address inequalities through programs, such as conditional cash transfers (e.g., 4Ps) which grants cash to impoverished families in the Philippines if those families meet certain conditions;
Inequality exists in the social, political, and symbolic capitals.
Minority groups, such as those with disabilities or from less commonly recognized ethnic groups frequently experience disproportionately lower opportunities
Government initiatives and programs address these disparities
