Adultery is consensual sexual intercourse between a married person and someone other than that person’s spouse. Adultery is rarely charged as a crime. It is more often a concern as a part of a divorce case. Adultery is one of many possible grounds for divorce in the majority of states in the United States. Historically, adultery was one of the few grounds, and in one state the only reason, on which divorce would be allowed. Adultery was also historically important in states that linked child custody or property decisions to the grounds for divorce. Now that most states have “no fault” grounds for divorce, adultery is much less legally significant.

Addiction is a common language term for the clinical entity known as Chemical Dependence. For decades Americans have known the term addiction to indicate an individual who is out of control in their use of mood-altering drugs. The term addiction has taken on a connotation that is highly stigmatized (like the term “alcoholic” is much more stigmatized than the term “drinking problem”). In reality, addiction is a primarily genetic, chronic progressive disease of the brain that is characterized by the intermittent inconsistent loss of control over the use of mood-altering drugs, resulting in repetitive adverse consequences to the user.

Acculturation has been defined as the process of cultural change that immigrants undergo when they enter in contact with a new, host culture. Immigrants bring their own cultural identity, language, values, beliefs, and behaviors, which might differ from those of the host culture. Although it is less common to acknowledge that the host culture can also change through contact with immigrants, acculturation is a dynamic, reciprocal process that generates change in both groups, because culture is a dynamic and evolving configuration of cognitions, identities, behaviors, values, and norms.
