Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Acculturation is the process of adopting the values and beliefs of a new culture, while assimilation is the process of becoming fully integrated into a new culture. Marianismo is the traditional Hispanic/Latino cultural belief that women should be submissive to men and responsible for the home and family. Machismo is the traditional Hispanic/Latino cultural belief that men should be dominant and responsible for providing for the family. In this case, the conflict between the husband and wife may be a result of the wife's acculturation to American values, which emphasize gender equality and the importance of women working outside the home, and the husband's adherence to traditional Hispanic/Latino cultural beliefs, which emphasize the importance of marianismo.
