Assimilationist policies

Assimilationist policies are efforts by governments or institutions to encourage minority or indigenous groups to adopt the culture, language, and customs of the dominant society. The goal is often to create uniformity and integrate diverse populations into a single national identity. While these policies may promote unity, they can also lead to the loss of unique cultural practices and traditions, as minority groups are pressured to conform. Historically, such policies have been used in various contexts around the world, sometimes resulting in cultural suppression or displacement of indigenous peoples.
