Adaptation Of An Immigrant Individual Into A New Society

Assimilation.
In society, assimilation is the adaptation of an immigrant individual into a new society. For a migrant entering a new country, he or she has to adapt to a new way of living in the new country, which would be different from their home country which they originated. An immigrant assimilating into a new country may have to learn the new country’s language and customs in order to live in the country. Immigrants in ethnic groups coming from the Asian countries tend to assimilate into work and businesses in the culinary side. This is the reason for many Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Indian and many other ethnic restaurants in New Zealand. This doesn’t typically stereotype as an Asian trait as there is other restaurants of other ethnic groups,

This process is called urbanisation, where a group of migrants will move from a rural area with less opportunities to a more populated area where they could find more opportunities, and to have a better living. Migrants can also do this between countries and states rather than within their own country or state, as they may find an opportunity another country or state offers that they can’t find within their own country or state.

Urbanisation, assimilation and stratification closely relate to each other as they are three important aspects of moving for migrants in society. Immigrants aren’t the only example of urbanisation however as

Immigrants urbanising from rural areas and assimilating into their surroundings and working, would be classed as working or middle class. A population can be made up of a “strata” in a society of personal statuses, having the more blessed and privileged higher up in social ranks, and misfortunate people lower down (Giddens and Sutton, 2013).

An individual's chances and decisions in their material states of living are shaped by "class", monetarily vital characteristics. Individuals can be classified by age, sexual orientation and so on, additionally by their material conditions, on a stratification approach (Crothers, 2013).
