Cultural Integration: From Migrating To American Culture

Cultural integration is defined as, “however much one culture varies from one society to another, it is true that within any given culture various aspects of the culture tend to be fairly consistent with one another.” (Flota) in addition, culture itself , is defined as a set of knowledge, beliefs, attitudes, and rules for behavior that are held commonly within a society; whereas Integration is a mixing of two or more things. Once a foreigner to this great land, integrating the American culture was a process. Before migrating to America, I envisioned a utopia community, aside from the language barrier I thought everything else would be copacetic. I’ve never thought about adapting to new norms, attitudes, and
beliefs.
