And here are some terms we’ll discuss in the conversation:
Cultural integration: The idea of bringing together various ethnic groups irrespective of language, caste, creed, etc., without losing one’s identity.
Cultural assimilation is the process in which a minority group or culture comes to resemble a dominant group or assume the values, behaviors, and beliefs of that dominant group.
Cultural pluralism is a term used when smaller groups within a larger society maintain their unique cultural identities, and their values and practices are accepted by the wider dominant culture provided they are consistent with the laws and values of the wider society.
