• Socialization is the process by which individuals acquire the knowledge, language, social skills, and value to conform to the norms and roles required for integration into a group or community.
• Socialization is a combination of both self-imposed (because the individual wants to conform) and externally-imposed rules, and the expectations of the others.
• Agents of socialization systematically because of our informal or formal social and institutional affiliations, we become part of society.
• Both enculturation and socialization talk about identity formation, which is how we construct our self identity.
• According to Erik Erikson, there is a stage during adolescence where identity crisis emerges.
• Norms and values are part of both enculturation and socialization.
• Norms are explicit and implicit rules and conventions, which are followed by individuals in their social relations with others.
• There are four kinds of norms in society: customs or folkways, mores, taboos, and laws.
• Customs or folkways are traditions and religious practices observed by a given community.
• People follow customs for the sake of respecting their parents or the community's way of life and for the sake of convenience.
• Mores are norms that regulate ethical behavior, which point to question what is wrong and right as prescribed by society.
• Taboos are norms prohibiting individuals against practices that are considered to be extremely “immoral” or “unacceptable” in society.
• Laws are written norms legislated by a law-making body, which carry punishment as a consequence for violators.
