Conformist Assimilation

Conformist assimilation refers to the process where individuals from one cultural background adopt the behaviors, values, and norms of a dominant culture, often to fit in or gain acceptance. This means adjusting one's practices, language, and lifestyle to align closely with the majority culture while potentially losing some aspects of their original identity. It emphasizes conformity over diversity, as individuals may feel pressured to suppress or ignore their unique cultural characteristics in order to be accepted by the broader society. This can lead to a more homogenized cultural landscape, impacting both the individual and society as a whole.
