Enculturation

Culture is seen everywhere. Being raised in a Chinese/Japanese culture house hold, the culture I grew up in was always different from the one I learned from school or my peers. Since I come from a diverse background, I have always had a personal interest in learning about other cultures that differ from mine.

a community that builds itself around it, I am uncertain. Yet as for the school, I see it following a similar model that is found within congregational schools. When reading Aron’s article on Congregational Schools, I found four principles of enculturation that I found similar to that which I have envision the school I would want to create.

October 31st is known in every American household as Halloween. Each year houses are decorated, pumpkins are carved, costumes prepared, and kids hit the streets to collect as much candy as they can.

I was not sure what Cultural Anthropology was entirely about, but I was excited to learn

Minnesota (Schoon, 2016). A trend I found to be interesting, “14% of immigrants hold an advanced degree, compared to 11% of US-born born adults” (Schoon, 2016, slide 9).

Latino/as represent approximately 12.5% of the U.S. population, making them largest ethnic minority in the United States today.

Therefore, the needs for mental health services are evident simply because of the psychological stressors they face due to poverty, immigration, and acculturation. Although the need for metal health services is noticeable
