Concepts of Intergration and Assimilation

Multiculturalism - positive ethnic diversity

  • descriptive approach: assessment of fact of cultural diversity
  • normative approach: ideologies or policies that embrace and promote this diversity - multiculturalism as a society “at ease with the rich tapestry of human life and the desire amongst people to express their own identity in the manner they see fit.”
  • focus on interaction and communication between different cultures
  • focus on diversity and cultural uniqueness
  • common aspect : no specific ethnic, religious, or cultural community values presented as central.

 

Cultural assimilation

Process by which a person or a group's language or culture come to resemble those of another group.

  • Full assimilation: new members of a society become indistinguishable from members of the other group.
  • quick or gradual change?
  • desirable for an immigrant group?
  • Immigrant assimilation:
  • complex process in which immigrants fully integrate themselves into a new country.
  • four primary benchmarks for immigrant assimilation:
  • socioeconomic status (education, occupation, income)
  • geographic distribution
  • second language attainment
  • intermarriage
