The problem of acculturation and its impact on building bridges of cultural communication
Abstract
Cultural interaction is a cluster of knowledge, experience, expertise, beliefs, moral values, universal concepts, meaning of things, intellectual activity and human behavior that reflect tangible acts and communication methods depending on life evolution among human communities and the context of generations. Therefore, cultural interaction is a bridge the links nations and people; moreover, the mechanism for human correlation is the marriage tool between human civilization. The term "acculturation" is used first by American anthropologists in the 19th century as an indication for civilizations- interaction due to impacting or being impacted by others through exchanging of ideas and perceptions. However, the term "acculturation" for the Anglo- anthropologists means 'cultural exchange' or 'trans-acculturation' which takes place through languages or written documents or oral tales. In this context, acculturation means getting exposed to different or diversified cultures so integration between ancient and contemporary civilizations is created.
