e/Integrative communication theory

Information
has gloss	eng: Integrative communication theory is a theory of cross-cultural adaptation proposed by Young Yun Kim. Actually it is a reiteration of the 1950s work of Robert (William) Park entitled Race and Culture and the 1964 work of Milton Gordon entitled Assimilation in American Life. Kims major contribution is a New Age idealism in the form of "intercultural personhood" which presumably involves the "psychic evolution" of a sojourner to the point of abandoning culture, with all its contingencies, altogether. Park and Gordon are two of the major scholars in the field; two out of literally thousands who pioneered the scholarly study of immigrant and migrant assimilation, integration, and identity in psychology, sociology, and social psychological terms. Unlike Young Yun Kim, these writers from half a century ago maintain a high level of conceptual rigor recognizing that integration and assimilation are two very different strategies for migrants to pursue as they seek to become active participants in their adopted societies.
