Explain the concepts of pluralism and assimilation and describe how they affect the rites of passage of individuals, and those you selected.
What is assimilation or pluralism?
Assimilation is a process where formerly distinct and separate groups merge socially and come to share a common culture. As a society undergoes assimilation, group differences decrease. Pluralism exists when groups maintain their individual identities.The three traditional models of assimilation are: Anglo-Conformity, Melting Pot and Cultural Pluralism.
