Yavatmal Maharashtra state Email: athawaleps@gmail.com Cell No. 9921126838 Abstract: This article presents critical view on Chicano fiction about cultural hybridity. Particularly the major novels of Sandra Cisneros, Acosta Oscar Zeta and Rudolfo Anaya. These Chicano writers’ novels are full of themes and techniques. The major theme here is cultural-hybridity. Originally the cultural forces

Psychosocial factors, such as poverty, lack of access to services, transportation, stigma, (Diala et al., 2000; Dobalian & Rivers, 2008; Townes, Chavez-Korell, & Cunningham, 2009; Whaley, 2001), acculturation and enculturation, family, collectivism and individualism, racial identity, cultural mistrust, help-seeking, religion and spirituality, and finally variability in manifestation and interpretation of distress are key cultural factors in understanding underutilization

relationships. Women who have experienced IPV have shown to have lower health qualities. In the United States, enculturation happens to many cultures from other countries. This process can cause there to be more experienced abuse and violence in this culture type. Actually, enculturation is one of the strongest factors of intimate partner violence among Asian Indian couples. Enculturation “values” had a specific and indirect relation with IPV attitudes. Another strong factor is patriarchal gender

The cultural group that I am researching is the Yaqui (Sonoran Desert, U.S. and Mexico). The topic I have chosen to research is the different rituals the Yaqui perform. The reason I chose to research the Yaqui is because they’re indigenous to the same region as I am. The Yaqui, “people of Sonora [Mexico] settled along the Yaqui river… many Yaqui emigrated to Arizona to escape subjugation” (“Yaqui.” Columbia 2016). Growing up I never realized how much history took place in Southern Arizona, so it’s

In “Identity, Authority, and learning to Write in New Workplaces,” Elizabeth Wardle attempts to explain how identity and authority issues affect the process of enculturation for workers in new environments. Wardle argues that the issues of identity and authority can affect one’s assimilation in a new working environment and that miscommunication with the two can lead to one being viewed as a “tool” and stress. To start, Wardle describes modern socio-historic theories describing identity and authority

We define culture as something learned, not inherited- through enculturation (Brannon pg 2), so it is something that is progressive and complex. These characteristics make it hard for culture to ever be completely understandable, but nonetheless it should not be ignored. Culture gives people a way to identify, either through

and culture and human nature. Benedict believed that “our human cultural heritage, for better or worse, is not biologically transmitted.” The main idea of the culture and personality is that our behaviors and conceptions are acquired through enculturation, instead of biological. In the film The Breakfast Club, a group of five teenagers spend their Saturday in detention. Each teen represents a stereotype of their culture given by their peers: the brain, the criminal, the basket case, the athlete

Enculturation or socialization is the process in the childhood when occurs into familiar members of culture community. Enculturation is cultural adaptation. Then second phase is acculturation. Marden & Meyer as cited in Kim (2003, p. 245) said “the change in individuals whose primary learning has been in one culture

undermined by personal barriers which stem from “our exposure to cultural and genetic forces” (Kirby & Goodpaster, 1999, p. 13). These personal barriers include enculturation, self-concept, ego defenses, self-serving biases, expectations, emotions, and stress, among others. I have noticed that I tend to be most susceptible to enculturation and expectations/schemata.      For example, I had never researched the role of the Pope before, and for that matter, I did not know much

This week we learned so many different terms related to culture. We talked about Enculturation, Acculturation & Ethnocentrism and so many others. What I find most interesting and true to many people is Ethnocentrism. It believes that our own culture is correct and that all others are wrong (Chaney & Martin, 2014). For instance, I find vegemite in crackers for breakfast is weird or bread as Australian table food is unacceptable for an Asian like me who loves rice for lunch and dinner is an example
