A new immigrant from Mexico learns how to speak English after enrolling in an American school
Explanation:
Cultural identity is the process of merging individuals or groups of different ethnic heritage into a dominant culture. Through this process these individuals acquire the cultural characteristics of a different ethnic or cultural group.
Cultural conglomeration in sociology and ethnography means that one part of society (or even one individual) loses their distinctive features and is replaced by those borrowed from another part. Generally, this is a racial shift in the self-consciousness of a particular social group that has previously represented a different society in terms of language, religion or culture.
