What is Aculturisation?

Acculturation is the process by which individuals or groups adopt the cultural traits or social patterns of another group, typically as a result of prolonged contact. This can involve changes in language, customs, values, and social behaviors. While it often occurs in immigrant populations adapting to a new society, it can also affect indigenous cultures interacting with dominant cultures. Acculturation can lead to varying degrees of cultural exchange, assimilation, or even cultural preservation.
