Answer 1

This is an example of "assimilation".

Assimilation is a gradual procedure by which a man or gathering having a place with one culture embraces the acts of another, in this way turning into an individual from that culture. Sociologists normally recognize forced and unforced assimilation. In forced assimilation, a man or gathering is constrained to go up against the acts of another culture, for example, by receiving that culture's dialect and religious customs. In unforced assimilation, a man goes up against the acts of another culture however isn't persuasively constrained to do as such. Sociologists utilize the idea of assimilation to depict one way a man or gathering of a specific culture, (for example, migrants) may react to or mix with another culture, or how a minority social gathering may identify with a predominant social gathering.
