Integration, assimilation and segregation

Integration 

Immigrants take an active part in the society, they got to school, get a job and speak the language. Integration does not mean you have to give up your culture.
 

Assimilation 

Assimilation means that immigrants must adapt as much as possible and encouraged to adapt the national culture. Assimilation is the process whereby a minority group increasingly adapts to the customs and attitudes of the prevailing culture and customs.


Segregation

The word segregation means separation. 

Segregation happens in two ways:

1 - spatial segregation: groups have their own area to live in. Examples; rich/poor, ethnic neighbourhoods (Little Italy, Chinatown).

2 - social segregation: groups live separately from each other. Examples; groups have their own schools, own sports clubs. The groups have little or no contact with each other.

Windward and leeward side of a mountain

The windward side of a mountain faces the wind while the leeward side faces away from the prevailing wind. The climate on different sides of the mountain can vary greatly. 

The windward side of a mountain	The leeward side of a mountain
The windward side of a mountain faces the prevailing wind (the Dutch word is loef). As air passes across the windward side of the mountain, most of the moisture is drawn out of it. This is because the air cools as it rises up the slope of the mountain and condenses, leading to clouds and rain.	The leeward side faces away from the prevailing wind (the Dutch word is lij). On the leeward side of the mountain, the climate is warmer and drier; as the air moves down the opposite side of the mountain, it loses its moisture and warms up. Scientists call this the rain shadow effect.
