SOCIALIZATION
Socialization -
simply means the
process of learning
about one’s society
and its culture.
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.
 AGENTS OF
SOCIALIZATION
Family - A huge part
of your personality is
molded by your
family because this is
where you spent
your childhood.
Your family influences on the way
you behave and act as a person
School - Here, you
interact or socialize with
other
people- your classmates,
teachers,
administrators, and
others who are outside
your family within a
society.
It is in school that your behavior
and attitude are shaped to
become a better member of
society.
Peer Group -
usually have
similar ages,
social status,
and share
interests.
It is with your peer group that
you find yourself belonging.
Social media - plays
a crucial role in
shaping your
personality as well.
The majority of young
and old, are
connected through
social media.
This agent of socialization
influences your way of life
intensively thus doing large part
in your personal development.
Enculturation
Enculturation - is the
process by which people
learn the requirements of
their surrounding culture
and acquire values and
behaviours appropriate or
necessary in that culture
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.)
In school, he/she learns to be socially
educated person as he/she observes and
adapts the behaviour of other people (e.g.
singing the National Anthem, paying
respect to the flag, showing respect to
teachers and valuing friendship among
friends and classmates).
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.
Teenager learns to clothe himself/herself like
his/her friends or in great chance, adapts how
they behave and act.

His / Her confidence in dealing with people can

be rooted in a well-maintained relationship with
friends.
The government upon its imposition of law
refines a person’s way of living.

he/she learns to respect government policies

and abides by them, knowing that every
action has a limitation
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
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 about his/her
roles in society. True enough, he/she
becomes a functional member of the society
