Sažetak

Abstrakt

Studija ispituje odnose izmedju korišćenja tehnologije u održavanja veza i očuvanja kuluture zemlje porekla tokom prilagođavanja i integrisanja u kuluturu zemlje domaćina.

Kroz upitnik autori istražuju na koji način se imigranti iz Haitija (koji žive u južnoj Floridi sa različitim nivoima kontakata sa svojom zemljom ) uključuju u društveni život zemlje, SAD.

Imigracija se sastoji od individualnih iskustava uključivanja u društvo i formiranja savremenog multinacioncalncog društva, gde imigranti i građani zemlje domaćina žive u zajednici u pozitivnom okruženju. U ovoj studiji, izveštava se o početnim zaključcima i suštini problema na osnovu ankete sprovedenu među imigranatima iz Haitija u oblasti Južne Floride, istovremeno istraživajući odnose obima elektronske komunikacije i nivoa integrisanja u glavne tokove kulture SAD. Brojna istraživanja su posvećena razumevanju imigracije, uključivanju i adaptaciji odraslih, ali je mnogo manje radova posvećeno tom fenomenu u Haićanskoj populaciji u vezi sa korišćenjem tehnologije u održavanju veza sa familijama u intstranstvu i postizanja pune adaptacije na zemlju domaćina i zadržavanja oba identiteta.

Drugim rečima do koje mere, Haićani koji žele da imaju kontakata sa Američkom kulturom, dok u isto veme zadržavaju njihove kulurne karakteristike, čine to koristeći Internet i ostale načine savremene elektronske komunikacije.
