Acculturation Model

The Acculturation Model explains how individuals adapt when they come into contact with a new culture. It describes various ways people might respond, such as fully adopting the new culture, keeping their original cultural identity, blending both, or feeling disconnected. Think of it as a spectrum of cultural adaptation, influenced by personal choices, social environment, and experiences. This model helps understand the process of integrating into a new society while maintaining personal identity, highlighting the dynamic nature of cultural change without assuming a single "right" way to adapt.
