Assimilation

Well a good example of assimilation would be the public school system. You have to adapt to survive in any situation, but when you are young you are way more impressionable. It is really hard to be 100% yourself. Kids join gangs because of peer pressure and the desire to fit in (besides “safety” reasons). There are other kinds of assimilation that happen too though. Sometimes assimilation has positive effects too. It’s a lot easier for teachers to assimilate children so they can teach them all the same way. It’s the same way in the corporate world.
