Discuss the assimilation process for new immigrants.

What will be an ideal response?


The speed and degree to which an immigrant assimilates is correlated with their personal characteristics, including the age at which they immigrate and the reasons for which they left their country of origin. People who immigrate as children are more likely to assimilate into the dominant culture quicker than older people who immigrate. This could partially be attributed to the role of socialization within the education system. In addition, some new immigrants might highly value their home cultures and be less willing to assimilate into the new dominant cultural patterns.
