what is enculturation?

Enculturation is the process by which the values and norms of a society are passed on to or acquired by its members.
Phases of enculturation which constitute the process of enculturation are: the "unconscious" stage of early years, where the individual "unconsciously" internalizes his culture; the "conscious" stage, which involves innovations. 
It is proposed that enculturation be defined as a construct that delineates transmission and transmutation of culture throughout human growth.It is a bipolar process.
