The process through which one culture comes to adopt the practices and values of another culture while
retaining their own culture.
Example
Immigrant groups that are culturally and ethnically distinct from the majority culture found in the place
where they have immigrated.
Group Level - adoption of values, practices, forms of art, technologies of another culture
immigrants - first generation - enculturation - acceptance - learn laws and customs - crucial to social and
economic success
Enculturation - the process of socialization that helps a person acquire social norms, values, behavior,
language and other tools of the culture that surrounds him.
1. Assimilation - strategy used when little or no importance is placed on maintaining the original culture
and great importance is placed on fitting in and developing relationships with the new culture
The culture or group is eventually culturally indistinguishable from the culture into which they have
assimilated.
It occurs in societies that are considered melting pots into which new members are absorbed.
2. Separation - strategy used when little to no importance is placed on embracing the new culture and high
importance is placed on maintaining the original culture, the original culture is maintained while the new
culture is rejected.

3. Integration - strategy used in maintaining the original culture and adapting to the new one are
considered important.
It is observed among many immigrant communities and those with a high proportion of ethnic or racial
minorities.
The measure of self-identification represents the most direct attempt to capture the general idea of social
integration, i.e. by asking whether an immigrant feels attached to (or identifies with) the host society.
The main sources of information are socio-economic surveys in which immigrants answer questions such
as "Do you feel [insert nationality]?", "Do you feel part of society?", and "Do you feel at home?".
General Self-identification
Social Language
participation/ Planned permanent stay in host country
inclusion Perceived discrimination
(behaviour) Hobbies, membership in a
local social club, non-immigrant friends, reading local
newspapers, residential
location choices
4. Marginalization - it used by those who place no importance on maintaining their own culture or
adopting a new one. The end result is that the person or group is marginalized, pushed aside, overlooked
or forgotten.
This happens when cultural exclusion is practiced. This happens when it is unappealing for a culturally
different person to integrate.
5. Transmutation - a third culture is created which is a blend of the old and the new
a mode of acculturation where the individual chooses to identify with a third cultural
group (e.g., microculture) which materializes out of the native and host cultural
groups.
