Also, immigration of Latin Americans to the US continues to be strong, particularly from Mexico. US Hispanics find welcoming niches in US society where they can enjoy their original language and culture. Modern telephony and aviation allows for frequent contact with their culture of origin. Electronic media, including movies, television, video-recordings, and the Internet, allow for the continuation of the cultural experience initiated in their countries or origin. So, to a large extent, US Hispanics and other modern day immigrants can customize their private cultural experience.
Enculturation is the process of learning one's first and original culture.
That is, the socialization process that influences how we behave, think, and feel from early in life. Acculturation , on the other hand, is generally considered to be the process of learning a second culture. Further, and in contrast to acculturation, assimilation is understood to be the abandonment of one's first culture in favor of a second culture. So, all people are enculturated in a culture of origin. Some immigrants to another country may gradually lose their original culture in favor of the second, thus assimilating.
