Feedback:
Acculturation is the process that occurs as individuals adopt the beliefs, values, attitudes, and behaviors of the dominant culture. Adopting the predominant religious beliefs of the country where an individual resides and eating bagels and cream cheese in New York City are examples of acculturation. Maintaining the values and attitudes from an individual's country of origin and eating tacos and salsa regularly in Maine are examples of maintaining things from the nondominant culture in an area.
