Lesson 1
Socialization and Enculturation
What’s New

What to learn
A human being should not live by himself or herself because he or she is a social
being who needs other people. Baleña, E. et. al. (2016) stresses that for man to survive,
and to develop himself or herself as a human being, there is a need for social interaction.
He or she should be with others and interacts with them in order to realize his or her dreams
and to withstand whatever adversities encountered in life in a given society. Lanuza and
Raymundo (2016) expounds that to become a full member of a society, he or she has to
acquire and learn all the necessary social roles and skills. The process of learning these
skills and social roles is called socialization. Socialization is a process in which society
molds the individual to conform to established social norms and rules.
Brinkerhoff et. al. (2011) defines socialization as a process through which people
learn the rules and practices needed to participate successfully in their culture and society.
Its process is very essential in man’s daily life because it teaches man how to behave and
act within our society. Consequently, if he or she does know how to socialize and conform
to standards, his or her actions may impede social order.
Santarita and Madrid (2016) describes that socialization takes place when
prospective culture bearers learn the body of knowledge and skills through education,
training, exposure, and experience; while enculturation, occurs when cultural knowledge
is passed on to the next bearer who will perpetuate and ensure the continuation of culture.
Both socialization and enculturation result to identity formation, developing norms and
values, and statuses and roles:
A. Identity Formation
An individual’s identity is formed through his interactions with others. One’s
socialization with individuals or groups allows him or her to imbibe certain
characteristics and interests that contribute to his or her identity. For example, the
centuries of Philippine Chinese exposure to Filipino culture made them imbibe facets
of Filipino character in the same way Filipino learned to love Chinese culture like
food such as preference for noodle-based cuisine like pancit (Newman, 2012 as
cited by Santarita and Madrid).

* customary patterns that specify what is socially correct
Folkways and proper in everyday life.
* repetitive or typical habits and patterns of expected
behavior followed within a group or community.
* define what is morally right and morally wrong.
Mores * standards of conduct with ethical and moral significance
Role, on the other hand, involves the pattern of expected behavior in a social
relationship with one or more persons occupying other statuses. (Panopio, 1994). It
is what the individual is expected to do, given his status (Arcinas, M., 2016).

What to learn
A. Social Control
B. Forms of Deviance
There are people who do not conform to the standard norms. They have failed to
choose an action that is generally acceptable. Banaag (2012) refers social deviance as any
behavior that differs or diverges from established social norms. Some of its functions
include the following:
Functions of Deviance
* serves as outlet for diverse forms of expressions
* serves to define the limits of acceptable behavior
* may promote in-group solidarity
http://psychology.wikia.com/wiki/File:Mertons_social_strain_theory.jpg
9
Baleña, E. et. al. (2016) cited the Strain Theory of Robert Merton which states that
in an unequal society the tension or strain between socially approved goals and an
individual’s ability to meet these goals through socially approved means will lead to
deviance as the individual reject either the goals, the means, or both. Palispis, E.S. (2007)
enumerated the forms of deviance of Robert Merton that emerged from Strain Theory:
a. Conformity- involves accepting both the cultural goal of success and the use of
legitimate means for achieving that goal.
b. Innovation- accepts the goal of success but eliminating the use of socially
accepted means of achieving it.
c. Ritualism- occurs when people deemphasize or reject the cultural goals but
accept the institutionalized means.
d. Retreatism- means withdrawal from society since both the cultural goals and the
institutionalized means are rejected.
e. Rebellion- occurs when people reject and attempt to change both the goals
and the means approved by society.

Lesson 3
Human Dignity, Rights,
and the Common Good
Activity 3.1: Analyze this line below which is taken from Article 1 of the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights. Explain your own understanding about
this briefly and clearly. Write it on the spaces provided for.
“All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights…”
____________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________
What to learn
Human rights are inalienable rights that protect people’s dignity as human beings.
These give them the rights to choose, to live, to love, to property, to make their living, to
practice one’s profession, to vote and to be voted, among others. These assure people the
means to fulfill their basic needs. By guaranteeing life, liberty, equality, and security, human
rights protect people against abuse by those who are more powerful.
http://www.theindependentbd.com/assets/news_images/Human-rights3.jpg
As cited by Saluba, Dennis J. et. al. (2016), deviance is inevitable. Human dignity,
rights and common good should be righteously extended to deviants by the society itself.
Even if the person is a deviant and a criminal, he or she should be respected and treated
justly as a human being. Violating his or her rights means treating him or her inhumanely.
Accordingly, the common good is espoused with human rights that provides benefits to the
society.
The principles of Human rights, human dignity and common good advocate the
belief in the inherent dignity and worth of every human being.
