Question 18 • World History CR SUSD (EX)

Which situation is the best example of assimilation?

Answer
A
A Belgian man starts eating hamburgers because he likes American food.
B
A Moroccan man begins to listen to Spanish music because he likes the sound.
C
A Japanese woman vacationing in India starts to wear Indian saris because they are pretty.
D
A German woman living in France begins speaking French because the locals do.

Explanation

Assimilation occurs when someone adopts practices or behaviors of the society where they live. The German woman is living in France and begins speaking French, the local language, so this is the clearest example. The other choices describe enjoying or temporarily adopting cultural products without adapting to the surrounding society in the same way.
