About

    Cultural assimilation is a process in which individuals or groups adopt the cultural norms, values, and practices of another culture, usually a dominant one. This can occur through various means such as acculturation, integration, or assimilation, and is often influenced by factors such as language, education, and social interactions. Cultural assimilation can have both positive and negative impacts on individuals and communities, as it can lead to social cohesion and harmony, but can also result in the loss of cultural identity and marginalization of minority groups. Researchers in this area study the dynamics of cultural assimilation, its effects on individuals and societies, and strategies for promoting cultural diversity and inclusivity.
