Transcript text: Question 5
Enculturation is the process of transmitting:
society from one generation to the next.
social norms from one adult to another adult.
culture from one child to another.
culture from one generation to the next generation.
Solution
The answer is: culture from one generation to the next generation.
Explanation for each option:
Society from one generation to the next: This option is incorrect because enculturation specifically refers to the transmission of culture, which includes beliefs, values, customs, and behaviors, rather than the broader concept of society.
Social norms from one adult to another adult: This option is incorrect because enculturation typically involves the transmission of culture to younger members of society, not between adults. The process of adults influencing each other's norms might be more accurately described as socialization or acculturation.
Culture from one child to another: This option is incorrect because enculturation generally involves the transmission of culture from older generations to younger ones, rather than between peers.
Culture from one generation to the next generation: This option is correct because enculturation is the process by which individuals learn and adopt the culture of their society, typically passed down from older generations to younger ones. This includes learning language, customs, values, and social norms.
