Since
culture is learned, we should examine the learning process
|
.
| Culture,
which makes us human, is learned. |
. |
Learning,
therefore, is a process of becoming human. |
....
|
While from the point
of view of the individual, the process is what makes us human, in contrast,
from the point of view of society and culture, it is the means that culture
and society perpetuates (reproduces) itself.
|
....
|
Both socialization
and education involve learning, but there is a difference important in
sociology.
|
....
| Socialization
is what happens every day of our lives, is not planned, involves our learning
our identities, the nature of reality, and how to get along with others. |
. |
Education,
in contrast, is planned, usually involves a formal organization with the
responsibility of providing and monitoring the learning, and concentrates
on finite skills and knowledge. |
....
| Two
different pursuits in sociology follow from this difference. |
.... |
The
study of education looks at our social institutions responsible for learning,
while the study of education looks at how culture perpetuates itself. |
....
|
As with the other
sociology modules, this is a set of lecture notes aimed at the beginning
learner of sociology.

The document, “An
Aural method to Learn an Oral Language,” is an effective and proven
method for learning a new language based upon how you learned your first
language, part of your primary socialization, in contrast to the rules
based formal methods usually taught in schools.
