ABSTRACT

Cultures transfer with people. During this process, the cultures are gradually transformed into something what was not familiar to original creators. The degree of the transformation will depend not only on the intention of those moving to a new country, but also on the receptivity or resistance of the people in the host country. In the latter case, what is crucial is how much the people are open to, or interested in change or whether they find in the new culture some aspects which will fulfill a need in their own.
