Understanding Culture, Society and Politics Quarter 1 Module 5: Context, Content, Processes and Consequences of Socialization

This is the Understanding Culture, Society and Politics (UCSP) Quarter 1, Module 5 self-learning module for Senior High School (Grade 11/12). Its topic is the context, content, processes, and consequences of socialization. It was produced as an Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM) module by DepEd National Capital Region, First Edition, 2020. After working through it, learners should be able to explain how people learn the values, norms, and customs of their society, and what that learning produces.

What learners will learn

The module states one learning objective. After going through it, learners are expected to:

  • Explain the context, content, processes, and consequences of socialization.

The module has one lesson, titled “Context, Content, Processes and Consequences of Socialization.”

Key ideas: what socialization is

The lesson starts with society: a group of people in continuous social interaction, or a large group sharing the same territory, usually under the same political authority and cultural expectations. Culture gives people the norms, values, and expectations they need to live with others. Members learn these through socialization.

The module defines socialization as the process of learning to behave in ways that fit the values and customs of our society or group. It is how we learn how our society and communities work so we can become part of them. Socialization focuses on:

  1. Acquisition of knowledge
  2. Language
  3. Values
  4. Habits
  5. Skill in the society

Types of socialization

TypeWhat the module saysExample from the module
Primary socializationHappens early in a child’s life, mainly through family and close friends; the child learns basic norms and customsPagmamano (the mano gesture of honoring elders)
Secondary socializationLearning proper behavior in a smaller group that is still part of a larger societyJoining a college club or organization; starting at a new workplace
Anticipatory socializationHappens in adolescence, between childhood and adulthood; young people learn their group’s culture and what to expect in the futureNone given
Professional or developmental socializationBuilds skills and attitudes that prepare a person for adult roles and responsibilitiesNone given
Re-socializationLearning the values and beliefs of a new group after moving into itNone given

Key ideas: the three parts of socialization

  1. Context: the culture, language, and social structures a person lives in, and the person’s rank within them. It also includes the history and the roles people and institutions played in the past.
  2. Content and process: the actual work of socialization. Content is what is passed from a member to a new member. Process is the interactions and ways these norms, values, and customs are taught to a newcomer.
  3. Results and outcomes: what happens to a person after being exposed to that content and process.

The module describes two contexts:

  • Biological context: sociobiologists suggest some human capacities are “wired into” our biology. Hormones such as vasopressin and oxytocin encourage people to interact with others.
  • Psychological context: emotional states and the unconscious, cognitive theories of development, social and historical events, and social position.

Socialization, enculturation, and their results

The module links socialization with enculturation, which happens when cultural knowledge is passed on to the next bearer so traditions and practices continue (Santarita and Madrid, 2016). For example, Filipino courtesy and hospitality are learned from family and friends through socialization. Enculturation takes place when a culture or tradition is adopted.

Together, these processes result in:

  • Identity formation: a person’s identity forms through interaction with others. The module’s example is the Philippine Chinese taking on parts of Filipino character, while Filipinos learned to love Chinese food such as pancit.
  • Norms and values: norms are culturally set rules about what is right, wrong, proper, or improper. They make daily life predictable and support social order.
  • Status: a position a person holds in society. It is a label tied to certain roles, not a ranking.
    • Achieved status is earned or chosen through ability and hard work, such as being a professional athlete.
    • Ascribed status is not earned and is outside a person’s control, such as race or sex.

Activities in this module

  • What I Know: a 10-item multiple-choice pretest.
  • Activity 1, Time of My Life: list at least 10 experiences from early childhood (0-5), middle childhood (6-12), and adolescence (13-18) that shaped who you are.
  • Activity 2, This Is Me: a yes/no checklist of your values and rules at home, with friends, in school, and in the community, with a scoring guide from Needs Improvement to Above Compliant.
  • Activity 3, #mysocialgoal: write at least three social goals each for family, friends, school, and community.
  • Activity 4, Descriptive Essay: write about the context, content, processes, and consequences of socialization.
  • What I Can Do: answer three questions: what socialization is, how it affects you, and why it matters in becoming a member of society. A rubric of up to 15 points is included.
  • Assessment: a 10-item multiple-choice post-test.

How to use this module

Learners: Answer the pretest (What I Know) first. If you get every item right, the module says you may skip it. Then go through the parts in order, finishing each task before the next. Write your answers on a separate sheet, not on the module. Check your work honestly with the answer key at the end, and return the module to your teacher when you are done.

Parents: Help your child read each direction carefully. Activities 1 to 3 ask about family and community life, so your child may want to talk with you about past experiences and household values.

Teachers: Orient learners on using the module and track their progress. The answer key treats What’s In, What’s New, and What’s More as formative assessment scored at your discretion. Rubrics are provided for the essay and What I Can Do, and the module notes you may revise them or make your own.

Lesson: Context, Content, Processes and 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.

What is It

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 SOCIALZIATION

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.

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

Socialization is also known as enculturation. Enculturation occurs when cultural knowledge is passed on to the next bearer which will perpetuate and ensure the continuance of their traditions and practices (Santarita and Madrid, 2016).

For an individual to become a member of a society he/she must go through these two processes: socialization / enculturation. For instance, act of courtesy and

hospitality of Filipinos are acquired through socialization because these two learned with their nearest group like family and friends. On the other hand, enculturation takes place when one culture or tradition is adopted.

Overall enculturation and socialization process results to:

Identity formation – An individual’s identity is formed through his interaction with other people. A person’s socialization with individuals or groups allows him or her to imbibe certain characteristics and interests that contribute to his/her identity. (Idea derived from Newman, 2012). For example, the centuries of Philippine Chinese expose to Filipino culture made them imbibe facets of Filipino character in the same way Filipinos learned to love Chinese culture like food (e.g. preference for noodle-based cuisine like pancit).

Norms and values – On the other hand, norms are culturally determined rules that guide people regarding what is right, wrong, proper, or improper. Norms create predictability in daily affairs and interactions, making it easier to live with other members of society (Newman, 2012). These norms are fundamental to the establishment of social order in any society (Newman, 2012).

Status – position that an individual can occupy in society (Newman, 2012). It is not ranked position, but simply a label that implies certain roles that must be performed.

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.
