POINTERS TO REVIEW
UNDERSTANDING THE CULTURE, SOCIETY AND POLITICAL SCIENCE
A. SOCIALIZATION
1. Hunt 1982: Without additional context, it's challenging to pinpoint a specific reference to "Hunt 1982" in the
context of socialization. It's possible that you may be referring to a particular author or a work that discusses
socialization around that time. If you can provide more details, I can offer more specific information.
2. Victor Bornouw: It seems there might be a typo in the name. It could be Victor Barnouw, who was an
anthropologist known for his work in cultural anthropology. Bornouw might be a misspelling.
3. R. Deweys and W.J. Humbers: I couldn't find specific information on individuals with these names in the context of
socialization. It's possible there might be a spelling error or the names could be associated with lesser-known
figures in the field.
4. Personality: Personality refers to the characteristic patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that make an
individual unique. In the context of socialization, personality development is influenced by various factors, including
genetics, environment, and social interactions.
5. Identity: Identity refers to the conception and expression of an individual's selfhood or the qualities, beliefs, and
characteristics that make one person or group distinct from others. Socialization plays a crucial role in shaping and
influencing the development of one's identity, including aspects related to culture, gender, and social roles.
B. DETERMINANTS OF PERSONALITY FORMATION
1. PANOPIO, ET AL(1994): Without more specific details, it's challenging to provide information about Panopio et al. in
1994. It could refer to a research paper, book, or study authored by Panopio and others in the year 1994. If you have
more context or details about the content, I might be able to provide more information.
2. Biological Inheritance (Nature): This term refers to the idea that certain traits and characteristics are passed down
from one generation to the next through genetic material. It suggests that an individual's biology, including genetic
makeup, plays a significant role in shaping their attributes and predispositions.
3. Genes: Genes are segments of DNA that carry instructions for the development, functioning, and maintenance of
living organisms. They play a crucial role in determining various biological traits and characteristics, influencing
aspects of both physical and behavioral traits.
4. Environment (Nurture): This refers to the external factors that influence an individual's development. It's often
contrasted with biological inheritance (nature). The environment includes various elements, and it can be broadly
categorized into different types:
A. Geographic Environment: This refers to the physical surroundings of an individual, including factors like
climate, terrain, and natural resources.
B. Cultural Environment: Culture encompasses the shared beliefs, values, customs, and practices of a group of
people. The cultural environment significantly influences socialization and the development of individuals.
C. Culture: Culture is a broader term that includes the shared beliefs, values, customs, and behaviors of a
particular group. It is transmitted from one generation to the next through socialization.
D. Ralph Linton: Ralph Linton was an American anthropologist who made significant contributions to the study
of culture and human behavior. His work often focused on cultural anthropology.
E. Social Environment: This refers to the interactions and relationships an individual has with others in their
social surroundings. Social environment plays a crucial role in shaping personality, behavior, and
socialization.
C. CULTURE AND PERSONALITY
1. Socialization Process: Socialization is the lifelong process through which individuals learn and internalize the values,
beliefs, norms, and behaviors of their culture. It plays a crucial role in shaping an individual's personality and
identity. The socialization process typically begins in early childhood and continues throughout life, involving
interactions with family, peers, educational institutions, media, and other social institutions.
2. Family: The family is one of the primary agents of socialization. It serves as the first and most influential environment
where individuals learn cultural norms, values, and social behaviors. Family members, including parents, siblings,
and extended family, contribute to shaping a person's personality and provide the initial framework for cultural
understanding.
3. Mother: In the context of socialization and personality development, the mother (or primary caregiver) has a
profound influence on a child's early experiences. The mother-child relationship is crucial for emotional and
psychological development. The mother often plays a central role in transmitting cultural values, providing
emotional support, and shaping early social interactions.
4. Child: Children, as individuals in the early stages of development, are highly influenced by their social environment,
especially the family. During the socialization process, children learn cultural norms, language, and social behaviors
from their interactions within the family and broader community. The experiences and influences during childhood
have a lasting impact on the formation of personality.
D. STATUS AND ROLES
1. Relative to Socialization: Status and roles are fundamental concepts in sociology, particularly in the context of
socialization. Socialization is the process through which individuals learn and internalize the values, norms, and
behaviors of their culture. As individuals go through the socialization process, they acquire different statuses and
roles within society, shaping their identity and behavior.
2. Social Roles: Social roles are the expected behaviors, rights, and obligations associated with a particular social
position or status. Each status that an individual occupies comes with a set of roles that define how they should
behave in a given social context. Social roles help guide behavior and interactions within a society.

and individuals often occupy multiple statuses simultaneously. Status influences an individual's identity, rights,
duties, and how they are perceived by others in a social setting.

based on factors such as age, race, gender, or family background. Ascribed statuses are not chosen by individuals
but are assigned by society.

statuses that work together to fulfill a particular social function or task. The roles and responsibilities of
complementary statuses are interdependent.

from the difficulty of fulfilling all the expectations associated with a particular social position. Role strain is a
common challenge individuals may face in trying to meet the expectations of a single status.
E. ANCIENT OF SOCIALIZATION
1. Barkada (Peers): In the Philippines, the term "Barkada" refers to a close group of friends or peers. Peer groups are

attitudes, behaviors, and cultural practices. Peer socialization contributes to the development of shared values and
norms within the group.

activities. Participating in such groups can expose individuals to community values, shared goals, and collaborative

and community engagement.
4. Mass Media: Mass media, including television, radio, newspapers, and the internet, is a powerful agent of
socialization. It influences public opinion, shapes cultural norms, and disseminates information on societal
expectations. Mass media exposure can impact individuals' attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors, contributing to the
broader socialization process.
