CONSEQUENCES OF SOCIALIZATION
SOCIETY IS A GROUP OF INDIVIDUALS
ENGAGED IN CONTINUOUS SOCIAL
INTERACTION, OR A LARGE SOCIAL GROUP
SHARING THE SAME OR SPECIAL SOCIAL
TERRITORY, OFTEN GOVERNED BY THE
SAME POLITICAL AUTHORITY AND SAME
CULTURAL EXPECTATIONS GOVERN.
CULTURE PROVIDES PEOPLE WITH THE
NORMS, VALUES, EXPECTATIONS, AND
OTHER INFORMATION NEEDED TO LIVE WITH
OTHER MEMBERS OF THE GROUP. THE
VALUES AND NORMS OF A SOCIETY ARE
IMPARTED OR INTERNALIZED BY ITS
MEMBERS THROUGH SOCIALIZATION OR
CULTURAL PROCESSES.
 SOCIALIZATION IS THE
PROCESS OF LEARNING TO
BEHAVE IN A WAY THAT IS
ACCEPTABLE LIKE THE VALUES
AND CUSTOMS OF OUR
SOCIETY OR SOCIAL GROUP.
 WE CAN DISTINGUISH THREE
MAIN ASPECTS OF; THE CONTEXTS
IN WHICH IT OCCURS, THE ACTUAL
CONTENT AND PROCESSES PEOPLE
USE TO SOCIALIZE OTHERS, AND
THE RESULTS THAT ARISE FROM
THOSE CONTEXTS AND
PROCESSES.

SOCIALIZATION SIMPLY MEANS THE
PROCESS OF LEARNING ONE’S SOCIETY
AND ITS CULTURE. IT IS MOREOVER THE
SAME AS INTERACTING, MINGLING AND
BEING WITH OTHER PEOPLE OR GROUPS
WITHIN/ OUTSIDE OF YOUR SOCIETY.
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.
IT IS SAD TO KNOW THAT
INDIVIDUALS WITH NO
SUCCESSFUL SOCIALIZATION
DEVELOP MENTAL ILLNESS,
ABNORMAL OR ODD BEHAVIOR
AND SELF - ISOLATION.
THESE GROUPS ARE
CALLED AGENTS
OF SOCIALIZATION.
FAMILY IS THE FIRST AGENT OF SOCIALIZATION
 DO YOU STILL REMEMBER YOUR HAPPY
MOMENTS IN SCHOOL? OF COURSE, YOU
DO.
SCHOOL IS ANOTHER AGENT OF SOCIALIZATION. HERE,
YOU INTERACT OR SOCIALIZE WITH OTHER PEOPLE-
YOUR CLASSMATES, TEACHERS, ADMINISTRATORS, AND
OTHERS WHICH ARE OUTSIDE YOUR FAMILY WITHIN A
SOCIETY. YOUR SOCIALIZATION WITH THEM HAS MADE A
LOT OF EXPERIENCES IN YOU. IT IS IN THE SCHOOL THAT
YOUR BEHAVIOR AND ATTITUDE ARE SHAPE TO BECOME A
BETTER MEMBER OF SOCIETY. SO, A PART OF YOUR
PERSONALITY IS DEVELOPED BY THIS AGENT.
YOUR CIRCLE OF FRIENDS IS ALSO AN AGENT
OF SOCIALIZATION. IT IS CALLED PEER
GROUP. YOUR PEERS USUALLY HAVE
SIMILAR AGES, SOCIAL STATUS AND SHARE
INTERESTS. YOUR PEER GROUP INFLUENCES
YOU ON THE WAY YOU CAN ACCEPT
YOURSELF. IT IS WITH YOUR PEER GROUP
THAT YOU FIND YOURSELF BELONGED.
Social media as agent of socialization plays a crucial role in shaping your
personality as well. Majority of us, young and old, are connected through social
media. Much of our waking time is
spent on using social media.
 ENCULTURATION
WE ARE LIVING IN A SOCIETY OF MANY
CULTURES. CULTURE IS THE
CUSTOMARY BELIEFS, SOCIAL FORMS,
AND MATERIAL TRAITS OF A RACIAL,
RELIGIOUS OR SOCIAL GROUP
(MERRIAM-WEBSTER. COM).
AS AN INDIVIDUAL GROWS UP IN A SOCIAL GROUP,
HE/SHE LEARNS TO UNDERSTAND HIS/HER IDENTITY.
THIS IS WHERE ENCULTURATION COMES IN.
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.

(HTTPS://WWW.DEFINITIONS.NET/DEFINITION/ENCULTURATION).
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.
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). A person
becomes more civilized as he
learns more of culturally
accepted behaviour and
knowledge in school.
 THE GOVERNMENT UPON ITS
IMPOSITION OF LAW REFINES A
PERSON’S WAY OF LIVING. THROUGH
WHICH, HE/SHE LEARNS HIS CIVIL
RIGHTS AND EXERCISES THEM
RIGHTEOUSLY. LIKEWISE, HE/SHE
LEARNS TO RESPECT GOVERNMENT
POLICIES AND ABIDES TO THEM,
KNOWING THAT EVERY ACTION HAS
LIMITATION.
 IN HIS/HER DEALING WITH RELIGIOUS
AFFILIATIONS, A PERSON’S BELIEF IN
OMNIPOTENT BEING IS STRENGTHENED.
THIS CULTIVATES THE IDEA THAT
EVERYONE LIKE A BROTHER AND A
SISTER. THUS, RESPECT TOWARDS ONE
ANOTHER IS VALUED. HE OR SHE LEARNS
TO RESPECT DIFFERENCES IN FAITH.
ENCULTURATION TEACHES
A PERSON OF HIS/HER
ROLES IN THE SOCIETY.
TRUE ENOUGH,
HE/SHE BECOMES
FUNCTIONAL MEMBER OF
THE SOCIETY.
 2 TYPES OF STATUS
ACHIEVED STATUS IS ONE THAT A
PERSON HAS EARNED OR CHOSEN
BASED ON HIS/HER ABILITIES AND
HARD WORK. THIS IS USUALLY
SIGNIFIED BY A CERTAIN PROFESSION,
SUCH AS A PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE.
ASCRIBED STATUS IS NOT EARNED,
AND IT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT
PEOPLE HAVE CONTROL OVER. FOR
INSTANCE, IT CAN BE ASCRIBED TO A
PERSON'S RACE OR SEX. ALSO, IT IS
NOT USUALLY A CHOICE IN MOST
MATTERS.
SOCIALIZATION REFERS TO THE COACHING
OF NOVICES TO END UP CONTRIBUTORS OF A
CURRENT CREW AND TO THINK, FEEL, AND
ACT IN APPROACHES THE TEAM CONSIDERS
APPROPRIATE. SOCIALIZATION IS A CENTRAL
PROCESS IN SOCIAL LIFE. ITS IMPORTANCE
HAS BEEN NOTED BY SOCIOLOGISTS FOR A
LONG TIME, BUT THEIR IMAGE OF IT HAS
SHIFTED OVER THE LAST HUNDRED YEARS.
SOCIALIZATION IS LEARNING ON HOW OUR SOCIETY AND SPECIFIC
COMMUNITIES, OR GROUPS WORKS SO WE CAN BE A PART OF THEM. IT’S
A PROCESS OF WORKING TOGETHER IN DEVELOPING RESPONSIBILITY IN
OUR COMMUNITY. INDIVIDUAL LEARNS TO CONFORM TO THE NORMS
AND VALUES IN A GROUP AND DEVELOPS HIS/HER OWN SELF BY
LEARNING AND KNOWING ABOUT HIS/HER OWN SELF FROM THE OTHERS.
SOCIALIZATION FOCUSES ON THE FOLLOWING.
1. ACQUISITION OF KNOWLEDGE
2. LANGUAGE
3. VALUES
4. HABITS
5. SKILL IN THE SOCIETY
TYPES OF SOCIALIZATION
1. PRIMARY SOCIALIZATION- OCCURS EARLY IN
A CHILD’S LIFESTYLE AND IS PRIMARILY DUE TO
HAVE AN IMPACT DIRECTLY FROM THE FAMILY
AND CLOSE FRIENDS. THROUGH FUNDAMENTAL
SOCIALIZATION, A BABY LEARNS BASIC SOCIETAL
NORMS AND CUSTOMS. EXAMPLE MANO OR
PAGMAMANO AS AN "HONORING-GESTURE" TO
THE ELDERS.
2. SECONDARY SOCIALIZATION -
OCCURS WHEN A PERSON LEARNS ON
APPROPRIATE BEHAVIOR TO BE
DISPLAYED WITHIN A SMALLER GROUP
WHICH STILL PART OF A LARGER
SOCIETY. EXAMPLE JOINING A CLUB OR
ORGANIZATION IN COLLEGE, GETTING
EMPLOYED IN A NEW WORKPLACE.
3. ANTICIPATORY SOCIALIZATION-
ADOLESCENCE IS INITIATED BETWEEN
THE AGES OF CHILDHOOD AND
ADULTHOOD. DURING THIS STAGE,
CHILDREN START TO PARTICIPATE IN
ANTICIPATORY SOCIALIZATION. THEY
ALSO LEARN ABOUT THEIR GROUP
CULTURE AND WHAT THEY SHOULD
EXPECT IN THE FUTURE.
4. PROFESSIONAL OR DEVELOPMENTAL
SOCIALIZATION- THIS PROCESS OF
SOCIALIZATION OCCURS DURING THE
EARLY YEARS OF AN INDIVIDUAL'S LIFE. IT
DEVELOPS HIS SKILLS AND ATTITUDES FOR
THE FUTURE AND PREPARES HIM FOR THE
VARIOUS ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
THAT HE WILL ASSUME AS AN ADULT.
5. RE-SOCIALIZATION- WHEN AN
INDIVIDUAL MOVES TO A NEW
GROUP, HE HAS TO LEARN THE NEW
VALUES AND BELIEFS OF THE NEW
GROUP. THIS PROCESS OF RE-
SOCIALIZATION HELPS HIM TO GET
USED TO THE NEW WAYS OF LIFE.
THREE PARTS OF SOCIALIZATION

1.CONTEXT- DENOTES CULTURE,

LANGUAGE, SOCIAL STRUCTURES,
AND THE INDIVIDUAL’S RANK WITHIN
THEM. IT INCLUDES THE HISTORY
AND ROLES PLAYED BY THE PEOPLE
AND INSTITUTIONS IN THE PAST.
2. CONTENT AND PROCESS- THE WORK
OR ACTIVITY IN SOCIALIZATION. CONTENT
REFERS TO THE DETAILS OF WHAT
PASSED FROM A MEMBER TO A NEW
MEMBER. WHILE PROCESS MEANS THE
INTERACTIONS AND WAYS THESE NEW
NORMS, VALUES AND CUSTOMS ARE
THOUGHT TO A NOVICE.
3. RESULTS AND OUTCOMES-
REFERS TO WHAT HAPPENS TO
AN INDIVIDUAL AFTER BEING
EXPOSED TO A PARTICULAR
CONTENTS AND PROCESS.
CONTEXT OF SOCIALIZATION
BIOLOGICAL CONTEXT- SOCIOBIOLOGIST
SUGGEST THAT SOME HUMAN CAPACITIES
MAY BE "WIRED INTO" OUR BIOLOGICAL
MAKEUP. SOME HORMONES (I.E.
VASOPRESSIN AND OXYTOCIN)
ENCOURAGE HUMAN TO INTERACT AND
SOCIALIZE WITH OTHER PEOPLE.
CONTEXT OF SOCIALIZATION
PSYCHOLOGICAL CONTEXT- COMPOSED OF
(1)EMOTIONAL STATES AND
UNCONSCIOUSNESS
(2) COGNITIVE THEORIES OF DEVELOPMENT
(3) SOCIAL AND HISTORICAL EVENTS
(4) SOCIAL POSITION AS PART OF THE
CONTEXT
