The classic definition of acculturation is the phenomena, in which groups of individuals from different cultures continually meet.Acculturation is a process through which a person or group from one culture comes to adopt the practices and values of another culture, while still retaining their own distinct culture.This causes change in one or more culture.

Life does not always turn out to be as easy as they had imagined it would be, with most facing various challenges especially cultural, social, and economic, leading to most questioning their decisions. Most immigrants face culture shock, language barrier, and economic challenges due to inability to secure well-paying jobs, while their children also have to adjust in terms of language, culture, and education.The process of acculturation experienced by immigrants, and also by Black Americans within predominantly White society, sociologists today are more attuned to the two-way nature of cultural exchange and adoption that happens through the process of acculturation.

An example of acculturation also can be multi-cultural families.For example,Asian person and citizen of England.Obviously they are from totally different worlds,they have different traditions,holidays and values.While living together they have to get along and come to compromise in their future life,because not only culltural values can be different but simple preferences in everything can vary.For most of people religion is one of the important part in people`s life,so different religions can also have major effect on people`s compatible life.

To sum up, this essay about acculturation I want to say that this is really hard proccess which not everyone can overcome and that definetelly make big changes in every person`s life.
