Socialization of Mon National in Hinthagon in Mon tradition and custom
Zin Mar Latt
Socialization is a lifelong process, and it links the individual, the society, and the
culture. Mon parents living in Hinthagon teach their children since infancy Mon
language, Mon literature and how to be dressed as Mons, which together constitute their
ethnic identity. They also have them socialized through participation in religious and
social activities of Mon tradition. The children develop a sense of subjective ethnic
identity and also that of responsibility to maintain Mon culture. Therefore, to the Mon
nationals in Hinthagon socialization leading subjective ethnic identity is an important
factor to maintain their ethnic identity as Mons. The objectives of this paper are to elicit
how the Mons in Hinthagon maintain their ethnic identity, how they have children
socialized through Mon traditional activities, and what are the results of that
socialization. To implement those objectives, enquiries were made of parents, guardians,
and teachers of Mon literature through In-depth Interview and Key Informant Interview.
To be more comprehensive, the children were also asked questions through In-depth
Interview. The questions were so formed as to bring out the Mon‟s cultural traits
contributing to Mon identity. Data were added to by the way of taking photographs and
recording the talks.
