Assimilationism

Assimilationism is a social and cultural concept where individuals or groups from different backgrounds adopt the customs, values, and behaviors of a dominant culture, often losing their original identity in the process. This process can occur in various contexts, such as immigration, where newcomers may adjust their practices to fit in with the host society. While assimilation can promote unity and social cohesion, it can also lead to the erosion of minority cultures and identities, raising concerns about cultural diversity and the importance of preserving distinct traditions.
