How does socialization and enculturation related to the activity we did? Socialization is the process through which we develop our awareness of social norms and values. This process is essential in forming our sense of self. Socialization is a lifelong process. The family—being the primary unit of society—is where a child first interacts with other individuals. Thus, socialization starts in the family. Enculturation is the process where an individual or a group learns culture through experience or observation. It is an important part of socialization because it enables culture to be shared among members of society.

Humans learn specific skills at every stage of their brain and physical development. Human beings also develop morality (a sense of right and wrong) at every stage as they physically and cognitively develop. Human development does not end in childhood but in old age. In a person’s lifetime, there is a continuous identity development process characterized by eight particular stages with a corresponding crisis. Children develop their social selves by distinguishing “me” from “I.” From an egocentric view, children develop their ability to see themselves from others’ perspectives. Lala is 15 years old.
