Abstract
This capstone will focus on Chinese immigrants acculturating into Canada. It highlights the various ways individuals acculturate into a dominant culture as well as the formation of new identities. Throughout this, there will be a discussion on the nuances of the Chinese immigrant identity through exploring the rise of biculturalism among Chinese individuals as well as second generation immigrants. Furthermore, various issues that this cultural group experiences will be covered including isolation from the heritage and dominant groups, intergenerational conflict, and weak identity formation. The capstone will then summarize these concepts into a seven-week workshop to support bicultural Chinese individuals living in Canada.
