Immigration and Assimilation

Immigration refers to the process by which individuals move to another country to live, often seeking better opportunities, safety, or a better quality of life. Assimilation is the process by which immigrants adopt the cultural norms, values, and practices of their new society, often integrating into the social fabric while potentially preserving elements of their original culture. Successful assimilation can lead to a more cohesive society, but it can also spark debates about identity, diversity, and the balance between retaining one’s heritage and integrating into a new community.
