Enculturation is the process by which people learn the dynamics of their surrounding culture and acquire values and norms appropriate or necessary to that culture and its worldviews.
Enculturation is the gradual process by which people learn the culture of their own group by living in it, observing it, and being taught things by members of the group.
There are three basic ways in which culture is learned: observation, listening, asking questions. Observation is a very basic skill, but we are often lazy with what we observe, so we fail to notice important details. We need to actively observe what is going on around us.
Assimilation is a two-way process, and the majority culture is changed as well as the minority culture. Acculturation occurs when the minority culture changes but is still able to retain unique cultural markers of language, food and customs. Acculturation is also a two way process as both cultures are changed.
The process of assimilating involves taking on the traits of the dominant culture to such a degree that the assimilating group becomes socially indistinguishable from other members of the society. As such, assimilation is the most extreme form of acculturation.
Socialization refers to the general process of acquiring culture, while enculturation refers to the process of being socialized to a particular culture.
The process of learning our own culture is called enculturation, while the process of learning another culture is called acculturation. Both of these happen on subconscious and conscious levels, take time and practice, and are never fully complete.
Cultural learning is a uniquely human form of social learning that allows for a fidelity of transmission of behaviors and information among conspecifics not possible in other forms of social learning, thereby providing the psychological basis for cultural evolution.
