Question 8 • CA-Ethnic Studies

What is assimilation?

Answer

the process by which an individual changes their physical appearance to fit in

the process by which an individual or a group adopts the customs, attitudes, and behaviors of another culture

the process by which one country takes over another country

the process by which communities actively maintain and protect their own cultural practices and traditions

Explanation

Assimilation occurs when an individual or group adopts the customs, attitudes, and behaviors of another culture. Choice B gives this definition. Changing only one’s physical appearance is not the meaning of assimilation, and actively protecting one’s own traditions describes cultural preservation.
