There are various degrees of assimilation/acculturation, as some individuals and groups adapt more readily to a new culture, while others observe “the old ways.” Assimilation or acculturation occurs when immigrants adopt the values, beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors of their new culture. By becoming part of the mainstream culture, they also willingly give up their previous cultural norms and homeland identities.

There are challenges of adapting to a new culture and managing the loss of the old culture. There is no “normal” developmental process of acculturation that can be expected, only individual adaptations to new experiences, mourning of the past, and social and emotional adjustments. Since acculturation involves changes in one’s identity, behavior, and belief systems, it is easy to see how difficult such a transition might be. As a social worker, it is important to have adequate understanding and knowledge of various aspects of diversity and theories of assimilation in order to work in a culturally responsive and inclusive way with clients.

Background Information

As a social worker, it is important to be aware of your own attitude about cultural pluralism. Reflect on whether you tend to promote assimilation into the dominant society or you stress the maintenance of traditional cultural beliefs and practices. Your own biases and perspectives are important and can affect your work with clients.

Inclusive and responsive practice begins with knowledge and awareness of other cultures as well as practice skills in order to promote mutual respect. It requires social workers to have an understanding of their own cultural beliefs and values derived from family, background, and position in society. Therefore, self-reflection is vital to culturally responsive and inclusive practice. When social workers are culturally competent, they establish positive helping relationships, engage the client, and improve the quality of services they provide.
