1. Acculturation, Enculturation, and D iffusion REGIENE D. LOPEZ Discussant

2. What is Culture? Culture is basically way of life of a particular group of people. Culture is learned, not inherited.

3. Diffusion This is the spread of cultural traits from one group to another. Imagine a new style of music emerging in one country and then being adopted by people in other countries. Diffusion can happen through trade, travel, media, or even conflict. It's a one-way flow of cultural elements.

4. Diffusion Diffusion takes place  when the aspects of one culture spread to another culture . Food, clothing, practices are some examples for cultural aspects that can transform to another culture. Cultural diffusion can damage the traditional culture of a society because it becomes displaced due to the spread of the new cultural elements.

5. Diffusion can take 3 ways Direct diffusion Indirect diffusion Forced diffusion

6. Direct Diffusion Direct diffusion is when two cultures are close to one another. This leads to a merge or else a fusion of cultural elements due to the activity of the people. For instance, intermarriage can be considered a fine example of cultural diffusion ..

7. Indirect diffusion Indirect diffusion is when diffusion takes place through another medium such as the internet or media .

8. Forced Diffusion Forced diffusion is when one culture becomes conquered by another, where the conquerors impose their culture on the native people. During the colonial era, this occurred in many Asian and African countries, due to the colonial activities of the West .

9. Enculturation This is the process by which a person learns the culture of their group. When a child grows up, they are bombarded with information about how to behave, what to believe, and what's important in their society. This is enculturation. It's how traditions and values are passed down from generation to generation.

10. Acculturation This is what happens when two cultures come into direct contact and exchange elements. It's a two-way street, where both cultures are influenced and changed.

11. Acculturation For example, immigrants might adopt some of the cultural traits of their new home, while also introducing their own customs and traditions. Acculturation can sometimes lead to assimilation, where one culture is absorbed by another.

12. Acculturation and Enculturation To acculturate is to take on the culture and norms of a society that is not your own, or is not native to you. This is sometimes done when you move to new place or country. To enculturate is to learn and take on your own native culture and it is a process over time like learning a habit or trait while growing up
