Assimilation
is the process through which individuals or groups from a minority culture adopt the customs, behaviors, and values of a dominant culture, often leading to the loss of original cultural identity. It is typically a result of migration, colonization, or interaction between different cultural groups.
Ethnocentrism
is the belief that one’s own culture, ethnicity, or group is superior to others. It involves judging other cultures based on the standards and values of one’s own culture, often leading to a biased view that other cultures are inferior or wrong. This can result in prejudice, discrimination, and a lack of understanding or tolerance for cultural differences.
