Yes, i wasn't very surprise by the outcome of the walk the differences would affect the singapore society because some people would discriminate others for example indians always get judge by others because of their body odour but it's not as if they can choose to have it or not but being in reality humans are very judgemental.

D : Assimilation is a process in which people of the dominant religion influence those of the minority group or culture to resemble those of the dominant race
E : The social interaction amongst friends of a different religion will be distant because of the government’s selfish desire for an one-culture society. The economic growth between the 2 religions will be extremely limited and for students who will be attending schools they will be separated from each other and that would cause many conflicts between friends and family.

D: Assimilation is forcing someone to follow a certain dominant culture of their country and not allowing them to follow their own culture.

E: The negative impact of assimilation is that there would be no rights to practice their religion. For example, in France, muslims in France are not to cover their faces as they would be arrested if found covering their faces. France started closing down places where muslims would normally practice their religion to stop them from practicing their religion so that they would follow the religion of the majority in France.

O: This would lead to social tension as it would be a few people that are not willing to change. If they are not willing to change, they would either be fined or arrested and to teach the children on the law to follow so that there will be no difference in the future.

Ryan

Assimilation will discourage people from immigrating to certain country as people with different culture background will think twice beforethey go to a country who excersise assimilation as it means they will have to think of the consequences such as them not having their freedom of practicing their culture and religion in that country because they're forced to practice what the majorities the example of this is that in France the Muslims there are prohibited from wearing any racially related clothing as they have to follow the france culture and believes

WYH

Assimilation means that the country’s culture which wants the people to follow .Example,in China,they demolish lots of churches,mosques, in order to support communism which is also known propaganda.This may lead to religious conflict as religious people such as the christian might fight against the government

JD

2019-01-25 04:19:21 UTC

Assimilation is in a country, where the government adopts a policy of assimilation, immigrants are expected to adopt the beliefs and practices of the majority group in the host country. A negative example of assimilation is in France, the Muslims must follow the France belief, secularism which is their dominant culture . France ban Muslims women to wear hijab or even cover their faces. This will cause tensions among the Muslims & when more Muslims gets offended to this, they will gather more other muslims. They will then  potest and start riots to go against France government.

Assimilation is forcing a culture to follow a more dominant culture.

It has a negative effect as it may ruin the overall society and cause chaos between cultures. For example in China, the government are trying to stop the practice of christianity by burning the bible, demolishing churches and brining down the cross. This causes tension among the christians because they are restricted from practicing their own culture and may lead to the possibility of a riot and protest happening.

However it may have a positive effect as there won't be cultures trying to take over each other and having competitions on whose culture is better. An example of a negative effect of assimilation is China demolishing churches, burning the cross and trying to completely stop christianity.

It may cause social chaos in the country

Joy

2019-01-25 04:19:37 UTC

Assimilation is immigrants having to adapt to thier country's beliefs and practices, following the dominiant culture.
A negative impact of assimilation is that cultures and religions would be lost. An example is in china, the government are removing churches and this causes people to feel like they lose their rights and causes tension.

Fabion Assimilation is following the more dominant culture in the country

2019-01-25 04:19:39 UTC

It can lead people not wanting to go in the country,afraid that they may not survive in the dominant culture as they are the minority

This may lead to people living in the country to get angry as the country is not accepting people .it may also create a root between the dominant and minor groups

Zhi Kai

2019-01-25 04:19:52 UTC

Assimilation is the act of following the dominant culture. It causes people to feel unwelcomed to enter the country. An example of this is this recent China trying to take control of relegious activities. This causes social tension which might result in future conflicts.

Yj

2019-01-25 04:20:10 UTC

Assimilation is where the government forces the society to follow the dominant culture.
For example,in France,there is a clear separation of religous affair and expect all french citizens to practice secularism.There will be no freedom for the people with different religion.Citizens who are muslim cannot wear thier headscarves and will not be able to practice their culture.This will lead to possible outbreak of riots.

Sarah

2019-01-25 04:20:19 UTC

Assimilation is following dominant culture. A negative impact is that people are not allowed to practice their religion in a particular country. For example in France, it believes in the principle of laïcitié which means secularism. There is a clear separation of religious affairs from governance and no religion is favoured over another. This can lead to racial riots

Matthewwww

2019-01-25 04:20:36 UTC

Assimilation is the process whereby a minority group or culture comes to resemble those of a dominant race or group.
A negative impact of assimilation is the lack of freedom to practice your own religion and having rights. One example of it is France.
Muslims cannot wear their hijabs etc. This is because the wearing of religious clothing was seen as a visible challenge to the French identity. This leads to tension since there is a lack of freedom and rights to practice your own religion and could possibly lead to a racial riot between the Muslims and the French.

Assimilation is in a country where the government adopt the beliefs and practices of the majority group in the country. For example, in France there's a clear separation of religious affairs from governance and not religion is favoured over another. All French citizens to identify with the principle of secularism. Hence there is harmony in society as every individual putting aside their affiliations to race and ethnicity

Explain how assimilation affects the society

2019-01-25 04:21:19 UTC

Assimilation is immigrants are expected to adopt the beliefs and practices of the majority group in the host country. One of the negative impact is like

2019-01-25 04:21:20 UTC

It is the way how different religion are forced to be changed or removed, under the control of the government.
Which leads to the people to have less exposure to different religion and made to have the instinct of avoiding ither religions. Country like china, taking action on the christian by removing their churches restricting and them to not be able to have gathering. Hence, influencing the citizen that no one would not be allowed to follow any religion in their country .

2019-01-25 04:21:43 UTC

D: assimilation is a bad thing as people have to follow a certain culture base on its country being too dominant
E: In France , Paris the government expect the people to follow the culture their way of life by forcing Muslim females there to remove their hijab 🧕🏽 , however this mean that the people there with different culture have no rights too choose their own religion and follow their means in life
O: Therefore

Assimilation is the following of a dominant culture.An example for assimilation is china, there is no right to practice religion. The chirstians have no right to practice their culture in china. The goverment is burning the bibble and the cross to stop them from going to the churches. With this, christians will be unhappy with the goverment and they will have to go out secretly to practice their own culture.Hence, this is how assimilation affects society.

2019-01-25 04:23:35 UTC

Assimilation affects the society as the people in the country would be forced into following the dominant culture. For example, in China , church are to be closed down or demolished. As China is communist and they do not want any other culture to interfere. Foreigners must be forced into the more dominant culture as the churches are demolished.

A country Where the government adopt the beliefs and practices of the majority group of the country. For example, in France there's a clear separation of religious affairs from the governance and in religion is favoured over another. All French citizens to identify the principle of secularism. Hence, in France, the ideal of harmony in society is achieved through every individual putting aside their affiliations to race and ethnicity, religion and socio-economic status to display their national Identity

D: Assimilation is a way for the other religions to stop their ritual and focus on one dominant.
E: It is a negative impact towards their idealogy. An example for this is in China as they burn Christian churches including the Bible to the ground.
O: Through this ,christians will feel offended as basic human rights is not present, the Christians will despite people who believe in communism therefore causing social conflict.

Nist (Assimilation

2019-01-25 04:31:08 UTC

One impact of assimilation is to grant immigrants the ability to adapt and live comfortably in a new country. This can be seen in America as chinese immigrants are attending lessons before or after work to learn America and the English language so as to be able to get better paying jobs and be able to communicate for more access to goods and services. This will lead to a more engaging society as the chinese immigrants are willing to learn other culture to be able to have a better and comfortable life which is a positive outlook on life and will lead to a positive society

Koen

2019-01-25 04:37:15 UTC

D: The definition of assimilation is controlling the freedom of people to practice their religion in the country.
E: In France, Muslims are forced to remove their scarf in Public because the French law is approved by the government to take effect which makes the Muslim people lose trust on the the government
O: Which can lead to uncontrolled riots around the country.

D : assimilation is a process in people of the dominant race influence those of the minority groups or culture to resemble those of the dominant race .E : Assimilation will have a negative effect on people because nobody understands each others differences and would have the urge to say things that are insensitive towards others on example would be that China has simply disregarded the christians doing things like burning the bible or even tearing down the cross all together O :The social interacts amongst friends of different race will be distant due to the government’s selfish desire for a one-cultural society. The economy growth between religions will deteriorate and for students that attend schools
