Wikipedia description:
Milton Myron Gordon (October 3, 1918 – June 4, 2019) was an American sociologist. He was most noted for having devised a theory on the Seven Stages of Assimilation. He was born in Gardiner, Maine. Gordon died on June 4, 2019, at the age of 100. Acculturation: newcomers adopt language, dress, and daily customs of the host society (including values and norms). Structural assimilation: large-scale entrance of minorities into cliques, clubs and institutions in the host society. Marital assimilation: widespread intermarriage. Identification assimilation: the minority feels bonded to the dominant culture. Attitude reception assimilation refers to the absence of prejudice. Behavior reception assimilation refers to the absence of discrimination. Civic assimilation occurs when there is an absence of value conflicts and power struggles.
