Sim Wai Chew School of Humanities and Social Sciences DRNTU::Humanities::Literature::English This paper will be about Asian immigrants living in Britain. Mostly focused on their difficulties acculturating in their host society. That immigrants face problems integrating in the new society because of their family. These families refuse to adapt to the times and to change their culturally inherited notions of self and other, of appropriate and inappropriate social practice. This makes it very difficult for the second or younger generation, who then face difficulties in their own individual development as well as their efforts to acculturate to the host society. In order for the family to acculturate to the host society, inventing new traditions will be beneficial. However, new traditions do not mean eradicating of the old traditions. It means changing some parts of their old tradition to suit the modernity period and the host society. A change of mindset is necessary to do so. Traditions or cultures that rooted from the immigrants’ homeland are values that cannot be ignored. Thus, I would like to propose that in order for immigrants to live comfortably in their host society, the best scenarios would be when the immigrant family creates new traditions, fusing the old culture with the new. Families can change their way of retaining culture and tradition during the process of immigration, in order to remain as an individual and as well as a British citizen.
