1. Challenges of Globalization

2. Defn: The process by which an ethnic group loses its distinct language and culture and becomes absorbed by the dominant group. The USA “melting pot” society attempts this.
Ex:
Assimilation

3. Defn: One culture modifying itself to fit with the dominate culture.
Ex:
Accommodation

4. Defn: The process by which all cultures gradually lose their distinctive features and one blended culture results (sometimes also called a “monoculture”)
Ex:
Homogenization

5. Defn: The result of a less dominant ethnic group taking some of the habits and customs of the dominant society, thereby becoming incompletely assimilated, but no longer belonging to any cultural group.
Ex: The Acadians
Marginalization

6. Defn: The joining of various ethnic groups within a society into a common society with generally accepted values. Multiculturalism in Canada presumes social integration without a loss of culture.
Ex:
Integration

7. Defn: the process of cultures changing to produce a new culture.
Ex: Metis, Acadians
Hybridization
