Assimilation Policy
Assimilation Policy refers to a government strategy aimed at integrating minority groups into the dominant culture. This often involves encouraging or forcing these groups to adopt the language, customs, and values of the majority population. The goal is to create a more unified society, but it can lead to the loss of cultural identity for the minority groups involved.
In many countries, such as the United States and Australia, assimilation policies have historically affected Indigenous populations. These policies have included measures like residential schools and restrictions on cultural practices, which have sparked significant debate about their ethical implications and long-term effects on communities.
