  • Summary

    Module 3 discusses human migration and the processes that happen when cultures meet. Acculturation theories describe models and strategies by which people adapt (or not) when they encounter other cultures in sustained interaction. The processes are affected by the degree of difference between the cultures and the context of the interaction. Outcomes depend on resilience and resources, including symbolic resources by which people maintain their sense of connection to culture.
