Unit 3: Looking at Culture in Context

Question 3 • Anthropology S1 - Brisco- 6310 - 2026/27*E

What is the difference between enculturation and socialization?

Answer
A
Enculturation teaches norms; socialization teaches values.
B
Enculturation begins at birth and is life-long; socialization ends around age 18.
C
Enculturation is about broad group membership; socialization is more about roles and context.
D
Enculturation is taught by parents; socialization occurs outside the family unit.

Explanation

Enculturation is the process of learning the shared culture of a group, including its customs and ways of life. Socialization is the broader process of learning how to behave in particular social roles and situations, such as being a student or friend. So the best distinction is broad group membership versus roles and context.
