Cultural Assimilation

Cultural Assimilation

Cultural assimilation can happen either spontaneously or forcibly. A culture can easily spontaneously adopt an alternative culture or old and richer ethnicities forcibly integrate different weak cultures. The term assimilation is often used with regard to immigrants and various ethnic groups that have settled in a brand new land. A new way of life and new attitudes toward the origin culture are purchased through contact along with communication.
