The Acculturation Model and Input Hypothesis Krashen's input hypothesis attests to the advantages of receiving a lot of input, especially in the initial stages in language acquisition. With respect to social justice, the anti-oppressive perspective is critical of conventional notions of distributive/redistributive social justice, which focus solely on the distribution and redistribution of income and other resources, often defined in terms of some kind of social minimum (Mullaly, 2002).

Specifically, they re-conceptualized the marginalization mode into two variants, namely anomie and individualism, in order to accommodate idiocentric individuals who do not necessarily lose their identities, but who experience cultural alienation or simply reject group ascriptions per se (Bourhis et al, 1997).

They have not adequately and justly examined the structure of the dominant receiving society and its role in the social construction of socioeconomic inequities facing immigrants. It is recommended that reception be more adapted to coping of post-migration stress of new-coming refugees. Acculturation was originally conceptualized as a unidimensional process in which retention of the heritage culture and acquisition of the receiving culture were cast as opposing ends of a single continuum (Gordon, 1964).According to this unidimensional model, as migrants acquired the values, practices, and beliefs of their new . The field of acculturation has been dominated by white males of European descent, who often do not speak immigrant languages (Gans, 1997). Throughout the years, theories of acculturation have evolved from the unidirectional school of thought with an emphasis on assimilation to bidimensional and interactive perspectives which posit various acculturative outcomes (see Berry, 1980; Castro, 2003; Chun, Organista & Marin, 2003; Gordon, 1964). Szapocznik, J., Scopetta, M. A., Kurtines, W. & Aranalde, M. A. Many scholars, particularly those who focus on measurement of acculturation of immigrants, have uncritically incorporated the established unidirectional acculturation theories into their research efforts.

It is found that variations in BII do not define a uniform phenomenon, as commonly implied in the literature, but instead encompass two separate independent constructs: perceptions of distance and perceptions of conflict between one's two cultural identities or orientations.

These issues refer to the extent to which individuals and groups (1) seek to maintain their heritage culture and identity; and (2) seek to have interactions with people of other cultures in the larger plural society. They reject the notion of consensus in the nature of society, and attempt to deconstruct apparently democratic notions of will and individualized power as convenient illusions which mask a more complex reality in which some are more able than others to exert influence (Tew, 2006). Subsequent efforts, notably by Gans (1973) and Sandberg (1973), addressed Gordons somewhat static formulation of assimilation with their explicit elaboration of the notion of straight-line assimilation. Again, immigrants and members of ethnic minorities would be involved in a sequence of intergenerational steps, progressively stepping away from ethnic ground zero and moving toward assimilation (Alba & Nee, 1997). With a few exceptions (see Portes & Zhou, 1995), the unidirectional acculturation school of thought perpetuates the pervasive myth of equal opportunities. Berry's Model of Acculturation, also known as Berry's Fourfold Model, is something that can be used for Cross Cultural Teams, despite not being created for Cross Cultural Teams. Furthermore, many acculturation theorists have not explicitly reflected upon their ontological and epistemological orientations and biographies, and how these impact their work.

Let's rethink the concepts of identity, assimilation, refugees, immigrants, acculturation, multiculturalism, and colonization. Specifically, they fail to position acculturation in the larger social, political and economic contexts of intergroup relationships and interactions, to question the role of power and domination in the marginalization of immigrants in the assimilation process, and to understand the historical influence of colonization and imperialism in modern day immigration.

Even some progressive segmented assimilation scholars, such as Portes & Zhou (1995), have only discussed the issues related to social class in deterministic, consensual terms. This unexamined and biased assumption is in direct contradiction to the mounting evidence of racial and ethnic disparities across the globe (see Cummins, 1994; Beiser, Noh, Hou, Kaspar & Rummens, 2001; Reitz & Banerjee, 2007).

I wish to thank Beth Chatten, Avery Calhoun, David Este, Catherine Worthington, Tim Pyrch, Lloyd Wong and Amal Umar for their thoughtful feedback and support. In the context of intergroup relations, identity is a site of struggle that involves ongoing negotiation, creation, deconstruction and re-creation (Dominelli, 2002). endobj Central to this theoretical framework are three components: (1) acculturation orientations adopted by immigrant groups, (2) acculturation orientations adopted by the dominant culture towards specific groups of immigrants; and (3) interpersonal and intergroup relational outcomes that represent combinations of immigrants and the dominant cultures acculturation orientations. ), Acculturation: Theory, models and some new findings (pp.47-84).

Hispanic Journal of Behavioural Sciences, 2, 199-217. Berry, J., Phinney, J., Sam, D., & Vedder, P. Towards an interactive acculturation model: A social psychological approach. 19, The authors examined the extent to which Berry's (1997) acculturation orientation categories--assimilation, integration, separation, and marginalization--would emerge from a latent class analysis of continuous accULTuration indices, and found mixed support for Berry's model. According to the anti-oppressive and social justice perspective, complex, multifaceted oppressive relations at the personal, institutional, cultural, local, national, and global levels permeate all physical, psychological, cultural, economic, political and spiritual domains of humanity (see Dominelli, 2002). Thus, a widely established model of four acculturation strategies consists of two main dimensions that are independent of each other: (i) maintenance of heritage culture and identity, and (ii) relationships sought among groups (e.g. Of the receiving community, their views on culture have been rather monolithic, diversity Of your Kindle email address below cultural maintenance nor interaction with others implications!
