Chapter 9: Assimilation

Assimilation refers to a minority group being absorbed into a mainstream culture. A good example of this is in our education systems. In our culture it is important to attend college, and other cultures that have joined the country may assimilate into this. Here it is a permissible assimilation, meaning it allows the new culture to be adopted at their own speed and in their own ways.
