    Ethnic assimilation is where people from different religion, races, and ethnic backgrounds (like Irish, Chinese, or Slovakian) abandon the the things that make them different from each other and take on the dominant culture of the country that they are a part of. The idea behind this is that by denying their own identity they can better form a strong unified nation. The United States is typically seen as holding an assimilation perspective. Canada on the other hand has seen itself as hold to the intergration perspective (see concept post on sidebar).
