Cultural Assimilation Process
Cultural Assimilation Process: The dynamic sequence of interrelated events and adaptations by which immigrants, voluntarily or involuntarily, adjust to the host culture, leading towards cultural homogeneity with the dominant society. This process encompasses gradual shifts in language (e.g., acquiring English), values, customs, behaviors, and social interactions as migrants accommodate their unique cultural heritage to resonate with the norms and expectations of English Culture or other prevailing cultures. The Cultural Assimilation Process may vary in pace and depth based on individual circumstances, societal reception, and policy frameworks, ultimately culminating in a spectrum of assimilation outcomes such as integration, marginalization, or separation.
