What will be an ideal response?


Answer will include these patterns: (1) Integration, in which the people maintain their old cultural identity but participate in the new culture with a resulting low level of acculturative stress; (2) separation, in which the people maintain their old cultural identity and avoid contact with the new culture with a resulting high level of stress; (3) assimilation in which the people adopt the new culture as their own and have contact with its members with stress being moderate but with the person having fewer social difficulties; and (4) marginalization in which they reject their own culture but suffer rejection by members of the new culture with the stress being high.
