Abstract:

In this paper we will present some aspects regarding the acculturation process of students in the socio-human field. Acculturation is a process in which a person or group in one culture comes to adopt the practices and values of another culture, while still maintaining their own distinct culture. This process is most often discussed in terms of a minority culture that adopts elements of the majority culture, as is usually the case for immigrant groups that are culturally or ethnically distinct from most of the place where they immigrated. The research methodology included the interview method and the interview guide tool, which was applied to a lot of 50 students from specializations in the socio-human field. A series of principles, phenomena, values were identified that represented elements inscribed in the acculturation phenomenon. Cultivation is a two-way process, which means that those in the majority culture often adopt elements of the minority cultures which they come in contact. The process takes place between groups in which none is necessarily majority or minority. It can happen both at group and individual level and can it is a result of direct contact or contact through art, literature or the media.
