Cultural pattern: The social customs, expected behaviors, cultural beliefs, values, and

adapt to the behavior and norms of a different, new culture, which holds different
expectations.
Assimilation: Occurs when an individual from a different culture fully adopts the behaviors,
customs, and values of the mainstream culture as part of his or her social identity.
