Summary Introduction

The ideas, social behaviors, and customs of a particular group of people or society are termed as the culture. Most societies have both dominant and minority culture groups. The dominant group has the ability to sanction and control the values of society. The minority groups have some different cultural or physical characteristic when compared to the dominant groups. Cultural assimilation, cultural shock, and cultural imposition are some of the processes that take place between these two groups.
