Question 1 • CA-Ethnic Studies

What does the process of acculturation most often yield?

Answer
A
creation of a new culture through the exchange of cultural features
B
separation of different cultural groups within a society
C
elimination of the original cultural identities of immigrant groups
D
domination of one culture over another

Explanation

Acculturation occurs when groups in sustained contact exchange or adopt cultural traits, such as language, food, or customs. It most often leads to a blending of cultural features and the creation of a new culture. Separation, complete loss of identity, and domination may occur in some situations, but they are not the usual outcome of acculturation.
