When Cultures Meet
Briefly

Acculturation is defined as the changes experienced by individuals and groups when they come into contact with different cultures. At the cultural level, it results in transformations of social structures and cultural norms. At the individual level, changes may manifest behaviorally, psychologically, and socioculturally, such as through adopting new clothing, experiencing shifts in mental health, and learning new languages. Acculturation significantly impacts not only migrants but their entire communities, as interactions between diverse cultural groups lead to complex changes.
At the individual level, acculturation involves various experiences when adapting to new situations including behavioral changes like adopting new clothing styles, psychological changes such as changes in well-being, and sociocultural changes like learning a new language.
Acculturation is the process of cultural and psychological change that occurs when groups from different cultures come into contact, influencing both individuals and entire communities.
