Assimilation-Accommodation Model

By 1860, there were 60 missionary schools which were not known for most American societies because they were not mentioned in the U.S. history, and there were 6200 Native Americans children in it. Cultural assimilation is the process of taking in, fully understanding and absorbing information or ideas. There are two factors which hindered Zitkala-Sa assimilation to the European American culture. The first factor is how people from different cultures inhabit different nonverbal sensory worlds, and the second one is judging people based on their own culture and standards. The story of the song “ten little Indians” started in a missionary school in the U.S. where Zitkala-Sa choose to study at. She was a writer, teacher, violinist, and activist for Native American rights. She was one of the Native American who suffered through her childhood in the missionary school, and she was treated badly from European American in a forcing way to accept the new culture and do what they told her to do. However, the text was categorized in three main sections each of which is describing her life in the missionary school. Overall, Zitkala-Sa did not assimilate completely to European American culture because of misinterpreting of non-verbal signs and symbols and having the tendency to evaluate.

Our emotions in many cases affect our perception of events as well as the actions that we take ourselves by permeating our way of thinking, and therefore affecting each thing that we do in that moment. In particular, emotions about the perception of ourselves have been shown to have both the ability to positively and negatively affect our actions and performances in life. This is what can be

Our parents raise us hoping for us to develop certain character traits, but there comes to a point when we start to become our own person based on the experiences we go through, any situation, good or bad, can influence our personality mentally and emotionally. Emotion is what makes us human, it's how we cope and how we manage our crazy lives’. When our feelings get damaged or even nourished, it will change how we react

Alejandro Portes and Min Zhou introduced the concept of segmented assimilation, which stressed a three-part path: assimilation for those with advantages in human capital, an ethnic disadvantage for some because of poverty and racialization, and the selective retention of ethnicity for yet others. Assessing present levels of assimilation among today's immigrant groups requires considering the possibility that the process itself may be changing. To ascertain this, we must first understand three major theories of immigrant and ethnic-group integration. The theories are the classic and new assimilation models, the racial/ethnic disadvantage model, and the segmented assimilation model. One of the general, classic assimilation theory sees immigrant/ethnic

Sister Callistra Roy was born in Los Angeles on October 14, 1939 and grew up to become a well-known nursing theorist, teacher, researcher, and writer. She obtained a Bachelor of Arts with a major in nursing from the Los Angeles Mount St. Mary College in 1963 and just years later a Master’s degree in pediatric nursing from the University of California in 1966. Additionally, Roy obtained an additional Master’s and PhD in Sociology by 1977 and during this time implemented the Adaptation Model (“Roy’s Adaptation Model, 2013).

These feelings are generally steadfast unless there is an intense change in a person’s overall perception of the person, place or object (Hogg, & Vaughan, 2005).

The Phenomenon of Assimilation in Old and New generation of Chinese, Jews, Polish and Korean Emigrants in New York. Immigrants who come to New York do not differ only in race but in the way they assimilate to America as well. Jews and Chinese seemed to have stronger national identity than Polish and Korean who are more prone to assimilate. When we consider the phenomenon of assimilation not just relative to race but comparing old and new generation of emigrants in New York, the new generation of those ethnic groups is more likely to assimilate and face less problems. For a very long time the definition of assimilation was very simple.

Rather than proposing positive or negative categories of emotions, Johnson conceptualizes affect in Emotionally Focused

The value of assimilation,which emphasizes the idea of adapting to a new culture especially in the American society, should not be considered a solution to restoring the unity of people in America. Diversity has already done that job by bringing together different cultures and encouraging them to share their own uniqueness.

For the Emotions Daily journal experiment, I made notes to record how I am feeling when I wake up. When I wake up early in the morning I am in a bad mood. I’m just not a morning person at all. If I wake up in the afternoon I feel more refreshed and less moody. When I wake up in the evening I feel very good and am I feel like the rest of the day is going to be good. In this experiment I realized that I cannot control my emotions too well. If I wake up not feeling good then, I have a strong feeling it’s just not going to be a good day at all. However, when I wake up feeling rejuvenated I feel today is going to be a good day. Some things that I learned in emotional processing is that I realize my feelings are important to me. I need to acknowledge my emotions more and take the time out to understand how and why I feel like this. I tend to let my emotions come out freely. I need to learn how to control my emotions more and express them better. Some people notice that my emotions get the best of me. If I woke up on the wrong side of the bed, most likely it is definitely going to be a bad day. If I have a bad day, then I probably will say something mean to someone else and ruin their day as well. I’m going to start working on my emotional expression, and display my feelings better. Maybe if I try to wake up with a smile more often I’m pretty sure that my emotions will start improving.

All of the rhetors agree that assimilation is a problem. However, the issue is figuring out whether the assimilation of immigrants is either a cultural and/or language conflict, or, if it is an issue of whiteness. The reason this is an issue is because there are some authors that focus on current situations with assimilation, and then you have those who base assimilation on situations that are bygone.
