Acculturation refers to the process of adapting to a new culture through exposure and learning, which is exactly what John did during his three-year stay in Brazil. Enculturation is a similar process, but it occurs during childhood within one's own culture. Externalization refers to expressing one's internal thoughts or emotions through outward actions or creations. Adaptation and acclimatization are related to physiological changes to adapt to a new environment, which is not the case here.
