activities even when they are not in complete agreement or harmony with
each other

learn to adjust to each other

become openly antagonistic to each other

antagonism without head-on and direct attacks upon the
opponents
Competition

objective
• Focuses on the primary objective
• Less violent form of opposition

Acculturation
• Societies of different cultures are modified through fairly close
and long continued contact, but do not blend with one another.
