BECOMING A MEMBER OF SOCIETY ENCULTURATION AND SOCIALIZATION

Enculturation and Socialization Society is different from culture. There are many cultures within a society. While of society share many of the same expectations and experiences, the cultural groups create ones that differentiate them from others in society.

Enculturation •the process by which an individual adopts the behavior patterns of the culture in which a person is immersed Socialization It is the process through which people learn to understand the societal norms, expectations and values as of society.

Identity Formation

Identity formation starts when one learns to socialize and be aware of the culture, behaviors, language, morals, and norms of where he or she belongs in. However, as a person grows, he or she learns to make his or her own set of beliefs, values, and morals. This is how a person develops an identity. This is what makes a person different from others. Identity Identity is what makes a person distinct from others. It is the total knowledge and understanding of an individual about who he or she is.

Types of Identity 1. Personal •the concept an individual develops about himself or herself •the sense of oneself as a distinct or unique individual •may depend on the age and circumstances of a person Example: Rolen is an African girl. She is the most quiet student in her class. She believes that time is gold, so spends her free time studying her lessons. 2. Cultural •the identity of the culture to which a person belongs in •the feeling or sense of belongingness to a group •a collective sense of companionship that involves the same beliefs, interests, and fundamental principles of living Example: In the Philippines, the Agta tribe has been practicing a unique culture for centuries. Old men wear the bahag, a unique style of clothing. They prefer to stay in the forest than to stay in lowlands. They mainly look for natural food sources.

Discipline •a way of behaving that expresses a willingness to obey rules or laws •behavior that is judged by how well a person follows a set of rules or orders Kinds of Discipline Discipline is categorized into different types. 1. Discipline of Nature or Reality A person meets this kind of control every time he or she tries to do something. A person learns to do things on his or her own without the supervision of others. Example: Ryan rented a bicycle near his town. He does not know yet how to ride the bike. He fell many times, but he did not stop trying. He was so motivated to learn how to ride the bike that he tried to learn on his own, and eventually, he was able to ride it.

2. Discipline of Culture or Society What this discipline instills in every culture is distinct, different, and unique. A person learns according to what he sees in his society or his culture. Example: Mika wears the trendiest dresses these days. She wears them so she can be “in” with the latest social trends. 3. Discipline of Superior Force This discipline is the opposite of the discipline of nature or reality. In this training, a person learns through supervision and guidance. Example: A single mother raised Patricia. Her mother always reminded her not to fall in love because of her personal idea that men are cheaters. Even if Patricia does not know how it feels to be brokenhearted, she does not entertain any suitor.

Development of Personal Identity and Aspirations Personal identity develops in many ways, depending on preferred directions. It may be through enculturation and socialization. It may also come through observation of a role model. You tend to imitate a successful person that leads to changes in personality. Your personal identity may change and eventually, you may develop a clear sense of yourself.

Aspiration is a strong desire and ambition with which someone is motivated to work hard. Example: Rico at 20 years old identified himself as a happy-go-lucky guy. He might discover that, at 35 years old, he is a different person. Perhaps he is living a good life with his family. He would like his children to have a comfortable life in the future.

Ask two persons about their personal identity development and aspirations. Compare them with yours.
