- W772683851 abstract "Tabi Agbor Tabi. Acculturation of the Sudanese in Finland. Jarvenpaa, Autumn 2009, 46p., 1 appendix. Diaconia University of Applied Sciences, Diak South, Jarvenpaa Unit, Degree Programme in Social Services. The emergence of globalisation has resulted in easy movement of people across various borders. This has also resulted in individuals or group of individuals getting in continuous first-hand contact with people of different cultures. This research looks at the impacts of this phenomenon, known as acculturation, on Sudanese refugees living in Vantaa – Finland. It brings out the type of acculturation strategies the Sudanese are using in order to acculturate in a dominant Finnish Society. The models of acculturation such as assimilation, integration, separation, marginalisation, alteration and fusion; and the concepts behind them are discussed in this work. Also, the concepts of immigrant, minority and dominant cultural groups, as well as acculturative stress are looked into with the help of literature. The effort of the Finnish Government in promoting integration, which is its official mode of acculturation, through various laws is also the focus of this work. Also of interest are the endeavours of the Finnish welfare institutions aided by numerous nongovernment organisations, which are promoting the welfare of the immigrants and minority cultural groups during the acculturation process. Furthermore, combinations of qualitative and quantitative research methods are used to elucidate the impacts of the above-cited phenomenon on the Sudanese in Vantaa Finland. A questionnaire aimed at knowing the model of the acculturation process was developed and distributed to a selected number of the Sudanese in the Vantaa community. It focused on the employment status, the type of interaction and effects of government assistance, in order to determine which model is preferred. The returned questionnaires are analysed with the aid of graphs and charts. This research portrays a high dependency rate of the Sudanese on government assistance due to high unemployment rate, which is in turn due to lack of necessary working skills and motivation. It also depicts that attitudes of the dominant Finnish population to immigrants and refugees is improving, though at a snail’s pace. It shows that it is difficult to generalise the choice of the Sudanese as concerned their preferred type of acculturation. Though from the same country, the Sudanese came from different tribes and thus take different acculturation approaches." @default.
