Bucher (2016) notes that Cultural encapsulation begins at a young age. “It is apparent throughout socialization, the lifelong process of social interaction that enables us to learn about ourselves and others. We are inclined to make friends with other people who are like us, or at least that is our assumption. In many cases, we attend schools and live in neighborhoods that are racially and ethnically segregated. Cultural encapsulation prior to college is one of the major reasons why college life can be such an adjustment. After living in relatively segregated communities, students tend to become much more aware of their cultural identity when they enter college.”
