 Assimilation is  the "process of taking in and fully understanding information or idea", or in simpler terms "to become like others or help another person adapt to a new environment. Students try to assimilate by doing what most of the people do in the surrounding environment or acting a certain way. I think students should not give up their cultural identity when in a new environment, because they should be proud from where they come from or their background. I believe that you will rarely see people assimilate in RHHS, but it can still happen anywhere in, school or at the park. There are benefits to assimilation, such as people might treat you with more respect or recognition. People might distance themselves to try to combat assimilation, which I think is the most effective. I view assimilation as very moronic, why would you change yourself to please others? I would rather be at content with myself and be at war with individuals.
