Personally assimilation isn't by any means an a necessity. The concept of assimilationism comes from a racist time where the need for assimilation was driven by the society. Society in early America was an inheretly racist time as it was the time of the Black Codes and Jim Crow laws. This, in part was the reason assimilationism became such a large part of Americana. I think as a whole assimilationism is a racist societal problem, as Assimilation contributes to the melting pot ideals set in Modern America. Melting Pot of ideals as a whole benefits a society by having different view points, it allows for a more beautiful democracy.
Counter Claim:
Assimilation isn't a racist system, more or less it's system that allows for other groups, apart from America, to feel more like an Americans. Integration of another ideal system is a great thing, but more or less making it Americanized contributes a sort of Foriegn American Patriotism. That allowing a group to integrate their belief system is better for America as it shows that we are a melting pot. Full assimilation isn't what I'm asking for, but rather an integration of the best parts of another society but leave out the parts not inheretly American.
"Biodegradable” refers to the ability of things to get disintegrated (decomposed) by the action of micro-organisms such as bacteria or fungi biological (with or without oxygen) while getting assimilated into the natural environment."
