2. Cultural Assimilation : the process by which a person or a group's language and/or culture come to resemble those of another group. ... Full assimilation occurs when new members of a society become indistinguishable from members of the other group.

3. Cultural assimilation (often called merely assimilation) is a process of consistent integration whereby members of an ethno-cultural group (such as immigrants, or minority groups) are "absorbed" into an established, generally larger community. This presumes a loss of many characteristics of the absorbed group. Assimilation can be the process through which people lose originally differentiating traits, such as dress, speech particularities or mannerisms, when they come into contact with another society or culture.

4. Acculturation happens when different cultures interact, are influenced (or even changed) by each other, but remain essentially the same. Acculturation in education values different cultures, encourages interaction among them, but does not seek to change them as assimilation does.

5. Some countries have official multiculturalism policies aimed at preserving the cultures or cultural identities — usually those of immigrant groups — within a unified society. In this context, multiculturalism advocates a society that extends equitable status to distinct cultural and religious groups, no one culture predominating. A region or society where assimilation is occurring is sometimes referred to as a melting pot.

6. DIFFUSION: Cultural diffusion describes the spread of one culture's practices, beliefs, and /or items, like food, music, or tools. This spread can be among members of the same culture or to completely different cultures  around the world..

7. CULTURAL LAG : The term cultural lag refers to the notion that culture takes time to catch up with technological innovations, and that social problems and conflicts are caused by this lag. Cultural lag is not only a concept, as it also relates to a theory and explanation in sociology. Cultural lag helps to identify and explain social problems and to predict future problems.

8. CULTURAL SHOCK : Culture shock is the feeling of uncertainty, confusion, or anxiety that people experience when visiting, doing business in, or living in a society that is different from their own. ... Culture shock can arise from an individual's unfamiliarity with local customs, language, and acceptable behavior.
