Does a person's culture vary when they move to a tentative country?
... When immigrants leave their home country and settle down in a contemporary one, does their culture change?
If so, how? Do they adapt to their new country's culture entirely?
Or a bit, do they create a new culture for themselves - a combination of their old traditions + their new lifestyle?
It's for a research essay surrounded by my anthropology class.
All ideas and opinions are welcome!
Answers:
Yes! Before they allow you in the country, the immigration officer firmly asks you to forget about your culture and adopt theirs.
LOL, just tomfoolery...
it depends on the personality, what country they're from, and where they move to. i would imagine that age influences it alot. a person who moves at 4 yrs. will probably fit, his parents may never adapt. an example is people in the U.S. who can't speak a lick of english and preserve all their old traditions, but their americanized kids are just close to evry other kid in the country.
i saw a special once on asian women who have creases surgically put on their eyelids so they look more american, there are alot of asian women who are against this, its pretty controversial.
i deduce that kids who have traditionally cultured parents sometimes feel really torn between their parents' expectations and the expectations they get from their american peers. its other hard to appease both sides.
i knew a girl who was muslim, she be very americanized. i'll never forget during the fasting month feeling so fruitless for her because she was expected to uphold the muslim fast during the day and wake up up to eat in the middle of the night, and she be also expected to be at school early in the morning and know how to concentrate even though she didn't get any sleep. talk about human being stuck between two worlds.
I judge it depends where they come from.
If they're from a westernized country, it's much easier to adapt however I believe most people still retain a few things from their own countries.
For example, I'm from New Zealand and while it's westernized and we munch through mostly the same kind of food, wear the same style of clothes and speak english as a first talking, some stuff is slightly different and I do try and incorporate that in to our lives here and in our wider family. We made traditional kiwi deserts for Christmas dinner, and I don't consider I'll ever stop calling the hood and trunk the bonnet and the boot.
I don't think there's anything wrong with maintaining constituent of your old culture. It's where we came from and we shouldn't pretend otherwise. I would never force it down somebody's throat or alienate anybody through it though.
