Countries like Canada, which consist
of groups of people from many countries
and ethic backgrounds are referred to
as multicultural nations. While these
cultures in Canada live much the same as
each other because of acculturation,
they have some variation.

Ethnocentric & Assimilation
When diverse cultures are respected and
their ways accepted, people of many cultures
can live in harmony. However, at times in past
history, and in some cases today, one culture
believes that it is superior and that others
should change. This type of thinking is called
ethnocentric. The absorption of one culture
into another is called assimilation.
Examples of Ethnocentrism and
Assimilation
• Residential schools
• Western culture
• Hitler and Germany in 1930’s
