culture socialization and education Culture is that complex whole that includes knowledge, belief, art, law, morals, customs, and other capabilities and habits acquired by man as a member of society. Socialization can be described as the process of adaptation by individuals to conventional patterns of behavior. It thus occurs because of the individual’s interaction with others and the expression of the culture that operates through them. Mass Media socialization has its own technical characteristics. There are two major types namely “Print and Electronic”.

A sub-culture is a group smaller than a
society, it is related to the larger culture
in the sensethat it accepts many of its
norms but the sub-culture is also
some
distinguishable because it
has norms of its
own.

15. Cultural Relativity
It is impossible to understand behaviour
patterns of other groups if we analyze
them only in terms of our motives and
values. A trait which may be disruptive
in one society may be vital to the
stability of another.

A cultural diffusion where about two
societies sustain contact with one
another was one culture is subordinate
of another.

22. SOCIALIZATION

25. Socialization Levels
Social scientist have identified three
levels of life which a person undergoes
in the process of growth and
development.

26. 1.Thevegetative level
This characterized by preoccupation with
food. Its main thought is survival.
Although it possesses the potentials for
thinking and reasoning (the intellect) it
still hasno “self”.
Socialization Level

27. 2.Theanimal level
This is characterized by desires for sex
and reproduction.
Socialization Level

28. 3.Thehuman level
This stage implies the attainment of a
personality we refer to as a “human
being”. He becomes a “person” as
differentiated from the term“individual”.
Socialization Level

29. The survival
solidly on
of any society depends
the sufficient degree of
homogeneity amongst its members.
Agents ofSocialization

30. Agents ofSocialization

31. TheFamily
The family is one of the many small face-
to-face groups that are called primary
groups saddled with the responsibility of
giving the offspring a qualitative and
decent pattern of living.
The foundation of socialization
because that is the first contact of
the child

33. TheSchool
It
socialize
s
opportunity
the child,
gives to
manifest
potentialities, capabilities,
him the
his qualities,
instincts,
drives and motives and helps to develop
his personality. The teacher’s personality
and character provide a mode which he
strives to copy, thereby consciously
molding hispersonality.

35. ThePeerGroup
The peer group is the child’s own friends
and equals with similar drives, motives
and interests. It is a world in which the
child has equal and at times superior
status to others.

37. Religious Houses
Religion is therefore a whole way of life
and not just something that believer can
take up or put down as the fancy takes
them. People who share the same
religious beliefs will also hold the same
attitudes and opinions, and will behave
in the same religious
institutions help
way.
Thus,
in the
socialization
processof its members.

40. Mass Media
The mass media as an agent of
socialization have their own technical
characteristics. There are two major
types namely “Print andElectronic”.

41. The different media largely because of
technical characteristics are used in
different ways by children and hence
different types of messages are passed
through mass media. Children need to
be guided in the usage of their leisure
hours in the patronage and utilization of
mass media to discourage cultivation
and learning of negativeideas.
