Assimilation policies

Assimilation policies are government strategies aimed at encouraging minority or immigrant groups to adopt the customs, values, and behaviors of the dominant society. The goal is to integrate these groups fully into the broader culture, often emphasizing language, education, and social norms. These policies can involve both voluntary efforts and institutional measures, such as language classes or curriculum changes, to promote cultural blending. Essentially, assimilation seeks to create social cohesion by reducing cultural differences, fostering a sense of shared identity within a nation.
