This document provides an overview of key concepts related to culture and socialization. It discusses:
1) What culture is and how it is learned through socialization. Culture includes shared behaviors, beliefs, and customs that make up a society's way of life.
2) The roles that humans learn in society, which are mostly not instinctual. Humans rely on socialization to learn appropriate behaviors.
3) How socialization occurs through primary socialization with family and secondary socialization at school. Children learn social roles, norms, and how to conform from various socializing agents.
4) The concepts of social order and social control, which work to maintain conformity and stability in a society according to
Conformity involves changing your behaviors in order to "fit in" or "go along" with the people around you. In some cases, this social influence might involve agreeing with or acting like the majority of people in a specific group, or it might involve behaving in a particular way in order to be perceived as "normal" by the group.

Human psychology an intriguing subject in which a very important aspect is how we recognize and tend to form impressions about our environment and other individuals in the social world is brilliantly explained in this chapter summarized in a visual format.
Culture is a way of life. The food you eat, the clothes you wear, the language you speak in and the God you worship all are aspects of culture. In very simple terms, we can say that culture is the embodiment of the way in which we think and do things. It is also the thing that we have inherited as members of society. All the achievements of human beings as members of social groups can be called culture. Art, music, literature, architecture, sculpture, philosophy, religion and science can be seen as aspects of culture. However, culture also includes the customs, traditions, festivals, ways of living and one’s outlook on various
issues of life.

4-1Why Is Socialization Important Around the Globe?
LO 1
Debate the extent to which people would become human beings without adequate socialization.
Socialization is the lifelong process of social interaction through which individuals acquire a self-identity and the physical, mental, and social skills needed for survival in society (Figure 4.1). It is the essential link between the individual and society because it helps us become aware of ourselves as members of the larger groups and organizations of which we are a part. Socialization also helps us to learn how to communicate with other people and to have knowledge of how other people expect us to behave in a variety of social settings. Briefly stated, socialization enables us to develop our human potential and to learn the ways of thinking, talking, and acting that are necessary for social living.
Figure 4.1
The kind of person we become depends greatly on the people who surround us. How will this boy’s life be shaped by his close and warm relationship with his mother?

When do you think socialization is most important? Socialization is the most crucial during childhood because it is essential for the individual’s survival and for human development. The many people who met the early material and social needs of each of us were central to our establishing our own identity. Can you identify some of the people in your own life who were the most influential in your earliest years of social development? During the first three years of our life, we begin to develop both a unique identity and the ability to manipulate things and to walk. We acquire sophisticated cognitive tools for thinking and for analyzing a wide variety of situations, and we learn effective communication skills. In the process we begin a socialization process that takes place throughout our lives and through which we also have an effect on other people who watch us.
What does socialization do for us beyond the individual level? Socialization is essential for the survival and stability of society. Members of a society must be socialized to support and maintain the existing social structure. From a functionalist perspective, individual conformity to existing norms is not taken for granted; rather, basic individual needs and desires must be balanced against the needs of the social structure. The socialization process is most effective when people conform to the norms of society because they believe that doing so is the best course of action. Socialization enables a society to “reproduce” itself by passing on its culture from one generation to the next.
How does socialization differ across cultures and ways of life? Although the techniques used to teach newcomers the beliefs, values, and rules of behavior are somewhat similar in many nations, the content of socialization differs greatly from society to society. How people walk, talk, eat, make love, and wage war are all functions of the cul.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Sachin Dev Duggal, co-founder of Builder.ai, has perfected the art of this balance, creating a company culture where creativity and growth are nurtured at each stage.
2. WHAT IS CULTURE?
Humans are social beings; we share our lives with
others in different social groups
These groups may be families, schools,
workplaces, friendship groups
Culture means: things shared by members of a
society: learned behaviour, language, beliefs,
values, norms, customs, roles, knowledge and skills
which make up a ‘way of life’ of any society
The process of learning a culture is called
‘socialisation’ and it is a life-long process
2
3. What do these pictures tell us about these
culture, values, traditions, social norms of
the countries they represent?
3
4. ROLES IN SOCIETY
Some animal species are ‘social’ because they
carry out certain roles within their complex societies
(ants, bees etc) but their behaviour is instinctual.
Humans have few instincts (they have reflexes
however): human babies helpless if left to fend for
themselves.
Plenty of written evidence to prove above: Eg The
Puppy Boy Horst and The Wild Boy of Aveyron to
show how humans who have been isolated from
society do not acquire social habits on their own
and find it difficult to later acquire them. (p.2,3)
4
5. NORMS, MORES, VALUES, STATUS AND ROLES
Rules , Regulations and Laws: Apply to all society, written, punishable if broken
Mores: Stronger form of norms: moral ways of behaving which most of society
sees as decent.
Norms: tell us what we should/shouldn’t do in particular situations. Can be
explicitly or implicitly taught. Unspoken and unwritten rules of correct and
acceptable behaviour.
Values: beliefs which lie behind norms, shared by majority of people within
culture but not necessarily same in all cultures. Learned from others within
society. Can originate from religious beliefs shared by culture. In Britain, these
include respect for human life, privacy, private property, importance of
marriage, money and success
Status: Position held by individual within society (can be ascribed or achieved)

6. CULTURALDIVERSITY/GLOBALISATION
What do these
pictures tell us
about different
cultures of the
world?
Key words:
1. Cultural
diversity
2. Cultural
universals
3. Cultural
relativism
4. Globalisation
5. See Blundell
p.6,7

7. CULTURAL DIVERSITY AND UNIVERSALS
Cultures around the world share some features although
there are also some huge differences
Cultural diversity refers to the wide range of different
cultural
habits, customs, traditions, languages, dress, norms etc
which are found in our world
Cultural universals are the forms of behaviour which
are found in all cultures:
-We all speak languages, we all have some form of
marriage and family, we all have some kind of belief
system which is worshipped, we all believe in the idea
that individuals can claim things as their own (ie
property) and finally we all agree on a ban on incest.
These are cultural universals because they are shared
among all cultures. 7
8. CULTURAL DIVERSITY
Cultures are diverse in many ways. Give five
examples of ways in which another culture differs
from your own but which you find unusual-
Clothes:
Food:
Marriage:
Languages:
8
9. ETHNOCENTRISM AND CULTURAL RELATIVISM
In studying other cultures it is important not to
assume that your own way is necessarily better
than anyone else’s. This is called ethnocentrism.
Give an example of an ethnocentric view of another
culture.
When we try to understand another’s culture from
their perspective and not our own, we call it
cultural relativism.
Cultural relativism is a challenge to ordinary
thinking. Why?
Give an example of one thing about your culture
which you wish others would be more tolerant of.
Activity H.O .Cultural relativism T and F 9
10. CULTURAL DIVERSITY AND GLOBALISATION
Through technology the Internet, satellites, and cable TV are
readily available throughout the world at the click of the
mouse. Global entertainment and media reach a wide range
of cultures Some people believe that this spread of
values, norms, and culture tends to promote Western ideals of
capitalism.
Globalisation has effects on the environment, on culture, on
political systems, on economic development and on human
physical well-being in societies around the world. The spread
of globalisation will undoubtedly bring changes to all countries
it reaches. It is argued that one of the result of globalisation
will be the end of cultural diversity, and the emergence of one
mono-culture.
Discuss: Will local cultures inevitably fall victim to this global
"consumer" culture? Will English eradicate all other
languages? Will consumer values overwhelm peoples' sense
of community and social solidarity? Is globalisation a threat to
our traditional and local cultures? 10
11. DISCUSS WHICH ASPECTS OF YOUR CULTURE DO YOU
WISH TO KEEP AND WHICH ASPECTS OF WESTERN
CULTURE DO YOU WISH TO BORROW? IF YOU ARE ‘WESTERN
ALREADY, DO THIS FOR ANOTHER CULTURE.
11
Keep Borrow
12. SOCIALISATION
Socialisation is the life-long process of learning the
culture of any society
Culture has to be learned; it is not instinctual
Babies are not born knowing how to talk, walk, eat,
behave
Differences between different cultures exists:
referred to as cultural diversity
This diversity makes us share common values with
our own culture but makes us feel different to other
cultures
We learn our cultural identity through what we are
like and through what we are not like.
12
13. SOCIALISATION AND IDENTITY
Socialisation forms an important part of forming our
identity. We might define ourselves as
Arab, Egyptian, male, a student, a daughter.
Agencies of socialisation (such as
family, school, friends, the mass media) will
influence our identities
At the same time individuals have the free will to
enable them to ‘carve out’ own personal identity
and influence how other see them
Many factors influence our identities. Through
choices we make we can influence how others see
us and the image we project to others. 13
14. In forming your social
identity, what roles do you
have?
Which roles conflict with
each other and why?
Write down the (different?) images
you project to your parents,
teachers and friends. 14
15. SOCIAL ROLES AND ROLE CONFLICT
Roles: the normal behaviour which is expected to go
with a particular status is called a role. People have
multiple roles (can have family roles, work-related roles
and social roles) which they switch between quite easily
but which have been learnt. Some roles are played
continuously, some only occasionally , some roles
adopted over time as individuals face new
circumstances in their lives.
Role Conflict: Sometimes roles don’t fit together well:
you can be the dutiful daughter at home and the
rebellious student at school! You can be the oldest son
who is expected to achieve at home and the struggling
student at school. You can be the caring mum at home
and the ambitious worker in a company . These differing
expectations can cause a conflict. 15
16. WHAT IS IT AN EXAMPLE OF?
Value
Norm
More
Custom
Law
Sanction (positive or
negative)
Lighting candles at Divali
Giving merit points at
school
Not reading someone’s
diary
Not stealing others
property
Being ridiculed
Killing others is wrong
Queueing in
supermarkets
16
17. HOW DOES A CHILD LEARN SOCIAL ROLES
(P.8-11)
Primary Socialisation: Starts at an early stage (family)-
Learn basic norms, values and roles of their culture
How?
Watching, copying…praise reinforces positive
behaviour, earns approval, experiment with behaviour to test
reactions. May reject some of what is taught and gain
disapproval
Secondary socialisation: At school: learn to get on with
others, to conform to rules and regulations, to become
independent, to learn useful (to society)knowledge and skills.
May challenge rules and authority
Other influences: Peers (evidence of their influence on the
young), mass media,(evidence that advertisers are targeting
an even younger audience than before) religion (threatens
punishment for wrong behaviour, learnt at home and in
school)
Look particularly at gender roles in childhood (p.10,11)
discusses how boys and girls are socialised differently.
17
18. SOCIAL ORDER AND SOCIAL CONTROL
What’s the difference between the two?
Social order assumes that the socialisation of individuals
in society is a good thing, necessary for co-operation
within the society. Social control ensures harmony and
agreement within society. Without it there would be
chaos.
Social control focuses on the use of manipulation, force
or punishment to make individuals conform to societies
norms
Essentially they explain
the same thing but from
two different perspectives
Social Order
(F)
Social
control (M/F)
18
19. SOCIAL ORDER AND THE CONSENSUS
APPROACH
The Consensus Approach is adopted by
Functionalists.
Compares society to a human body, interrelated
parts all working together (in consensus) to
maintain order in society.
Institutions such as family, school, law, mass media
work together in harmony to maintain order ( exert
influence through socialisation)
People mostly agree to this because it makes
society stable
Does not emphasise the conflict between people
and groups. Sees non-conformity as deviance
19
20. SOCIAL CONTROL AND THE CONFLICT THEORY
.(P.12-13 AND 16, 17)
Social Control: The term given to methods used to
persuade /force individuals to do what society wants, to
conform to values and norms of that society , to prevent
deviance
What social control is exerted on a girl to dress
conservatively in this society?
Sanctions are used to achieve conformity (positive and
negative)
Conflict theory: Marx and Weber
a) View society as conflicting; inequalities in
wealth, power and status creates conflict between
groups/individuals
b) Conflict theory says groups have different
interests and values with no consensus (agreement) in
modern society 20
