Answer to Question 1

1
Explanation: 1. Biculturalism is a dual pattern of identification, and is often thought of as dividing loyalty.
2. Cultural assimilation is exemplified by the ability to speak excellent English.
3. Primary structural assimilation is exemplified by warm personal interactions between group members in the home or church.
4. Secondary structural assimilation is exemplified by cold impersonal relationships between groups associated with schools or workplaces.

Answer to Question 2

1, 2, 3
Explanation: 1. Socialization is one facet to the process of overall acculturation. Socialization is the process of being raised within a culture and acquiring the characteristics of that group.
2. Acculturation is changing one's cultural patterns to those of the host society. In the United States, the usual course of acculturation takes three generations.
3. Assimilation means to become like the members of the dominant culture in all ways possible. The underlying assumption is that a person from a given cultural group loses their cultural identity to acquire the new one.
4. Ethnicity is identifying with a particular racial, national, or cultural group and observing that group's customs, beliefs, and language.
5. Heritage consistency is maintaining aspects of an individual culture in order to preserve the tribal culture. This concept does not support acculturation.
