It designates the act, process, or result of structurally identifying, comparing, absorbing, or integrating heterogeneous elements into a unified whole.
• Assimilationism — A doctrine, ideology, or social policy based on the concept of forced or voluntary assimilation of ethnic, cultural, or linguistic minorities into the dominant culture of a state. This structural current advocates for identity uniformity and the elimination of delicate local particularities to achieve a rigid national cohesion, forcing marginal communities to abandon their traditions and native language.
