• When individuals or groups of people transition
from living a lifestyle of their own culture to
moving into a lifestyle of another culture, they
must acculturate, or come to adapt the new
culture's behaviours, values, customs, and
language.
• The word 'acculturation' is the act of that
transition.
6. • Acculturation is the process of learning about and
adapting to a new culture.
• A new culture may require adjustments in all or some
of the aspects of daily living.
• Relocation to a society that is similar to one's own
requires less acculturation than moving to a society
where cultural norms are unfamiliar.
