Assimilation
Assimilation is the process of absorbing the traits of the dominant culture to the point where the group that was assimilated becomes indistinguishable from the host culture. Assimilation can be either forced or done voluntarily depending on situations and conditions. Regardless of the situation or the condition it is very rare to see a minority group replace and or even forget their previous cultural practices. Shaina.M (talk) 21:48, 6 April 2018 (UTC)

History of assimilation
Forced assimilation was very common in the European colonial empires the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. colonial policies regarding religion conversion, the removal of children, the division of community property, and the shifting of gender roles primarily impacted North and South America, Australia, Africa, and Asia. Voluntary assimilation has also been a part of history dating back to the Spanish Inquisition of the late 14th and 15th centuries, when many Muslims and Jews voluntarily converted to Roman Catholicism as a response to religious prosecution while secretly continuing their original practices. Another example is when the Europeans moved to the United States. Shaina.M (talk) 21:48, 6 April 2018 (UTC)

Alienation
Alienation frequently refers to someone who is ostracized or withdrawn from other people with whom they would ordinarily be expected to associate with. Hajda, a representative theorist and researcher of social alienation says: " alienation is an individuals feeling of uneasiness or discomfort which reflects his exclusion or self-exclusion from social and cultural participation."

Bold text ways to improve communication Patience: be patient with the person who you're talking to, give them time to put their thoughts together. when you let the person finish their train of thought without interrupting them it will be easier for you to understand what's on their mind.

Listening: being a good listener is essential fro proper communication. listening will help you become aware of what others are thinking. and to show that you are truly listening try asking follow up questions.

Clarity: when you are dealing with people it is not effective to beat around the bush or prolong things. it is important to be direct and to get your point across. if you spend too long trying to get your point across people are less likely to listen. Shaina.M (talk) 18:15, 22 April 2018 (UTC)
