Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Answer is As emerging adults come into contact with people from diverse backgrounds, they become more conscious of their own background and form an ethnic identity within the context of their cultural history.
Challenges for immigrants as they seek to establish an ethnic identity can include the 1) struggle of balancing their parents' background and cultural practices with their new social context, 2) possible conflict over choice of vocation and 3) choice of romantic partner. In addition, 4) the emerging adults' peer group's ability to make independent decisions may clash with the immigrant parents' expectations.
