Worked practice questions

Learning the ways of one's culture, from helpless infant to skilled person, is called:

  1. stratification
  2. urbanisation
  3. modernisation
  4. socialisation
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: D. socialisation

1. Socialisation is the process in which a helpless infant gradually becomes a self-aware, knowledgeable person skilled in the ways of the culture it is born into. 2. The stem describes exactly this: an infant turning into a skilled member of its culture. 3. Stratification ranks groups in a hierarchy, urbanisation is the growth of towns, and modernisation is a change in institutions; none describes learning a culture. _Source: NCERT Class XI Sociology, Introducing Sociology, Ch 4 Culture and Socialisation, "SOCIALISATION", p. 73_

Socialisation is defined as the process by which we learn to become:

  1. followers of a religion
  2. members of society
  3. workers in an industry
  4. citizens of a state
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. members of society

1. Socialisation is defined as the process by which we learn to become members of society. 2. Owning property, holding a caste or voting are things a person may do later; they are not the definition. 3. So the correct choice is members of society. _Source: NCERT Class XI Sociology, Introducing Sociology, Ch 4 Culture and Socialisation, "GLOSSARY", p. 80_

The case of the wolf-children of Midnapore is cited to show the need for:

  1. socialisation
  2. formal schooling
  3. genetic fitness
  4. a nuclear family
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. socialisation

1. Two girls were reportedly found in a wolf den in Bengal in 1920. 2. They walked on all fours, ate raw meat, howled like wolves and had no speech, because they had not been socialised among humans. 3. So the case shows that without socialisation an individual would not behave like a human being. _Source: NCERT Class XI Sociology, Introducing Sociology, Ch 4 Culture and Socialisation, "SOCIALISATION", p. 73_
