, 12Student Veterans’ Acculturation to U.S. Higher Education Culture Acculturation models offer a theoretical framework to explain student veterans’ culturalconflict as they reintegrate into higher education.15 Acculturation is as a complex process ofbalancing cultural changes resulting from the encounter of two or more cultural groups.21 Asstudent veterans (non-dominant group) enter the culture of higher education (dominant culture),acculturation models take into account the existence of peer differentiation and dynamicsbetween both groups. Berry’s acculturation model discussed four possible resolutions from thiscultural exchange: (a) assimilation, (dismissal of prior cultural identity and acceptance of newculture), (b) separation (cultural

Again one cannot over-emphasized I-beams are stronger becauseit two flanges and it thicker cross-web can hold more load. They are also used because they have abetter strength/mass ratio, in architecture mass is critical as the more mass you use the more supportyou need.
