An assimilation is a term used to describe the process when groups of people from different cultures and background live together and accept each other's differences. They then become part of a greater society. This is called assimilation. Assimilation can be a quick process or it can take generations before the different groups of people are integrated with each other. A practical example is the people who immigrate to the USA from other countries. They often live together in their own communities and still speak their own languages. Their children, however, go to school and mix with children from all cultures. They then accept each other and form part of the greater community of people living in the USA.
