At the customs gate of your country's busiest international airport, two people are arriving as landed immigrants. As an immigrant support worker, you are tasked with determining how best to allocate resources in helping different immigrants. To do that, you must first determine how successfully each person will be at acculturating. Looking at the files for the landed immigrants, you see that Grace is coming from the Australia, a country that is very similar to your country. On the other hand, Cecilia is coming from Mongolia, a country that is very dissimilar to your country. Address the following questions regarding their acculturation pattern towards their new host culture (your culture).

1. Compare and contrast Grace and Cecilia's Acculturation adjustment curve. Which one will likely have a more positive 'Honeymoon' period and which one will likely have a more negative 'Culture Shock' period?
2. Who has a better 'cultural fit' to the host culture? Based on the concept of cultural distance, which one will take longer to adjust?
3. Suppose Grace is able to both adapt to and fully participate in the new culture and maintain attitudes and traditions of her own culture. Which of Acculturation Strategies would she be in? Suppose Cecilia is seeking political asylum coming from tragic situations and strives to take on the new host culture and does not hold on to her original culture. Which of the Acculturation Strategies would she be in?
4. As an immigrant support worker, you may need to allocate resources to address various acculturation pitfalls. Which person would you allocate more resources and what types of challenges might that person experience?
