Assimilation and Accommodation

When you think of these two word, I think about people adapting to one another. Jean Piaget came up with these words, who is a developmental psychologist. We need to define these two words to understand the differences between the two.
Assimilation-  The process whereby a minority group gradually adopts the customs and attitudes of the prevailing culture.

Accommodation- Adjustment, as of differences or to new circumstances; adaptation, settlement, or reconciliation.

Both of these words cultures and other races adapt to these. When they come to another culture they accommodate to the differences. Also, when they come into another culture they assimilate to the customs and the way the culture lives as a whole.

Treatment Plan Change

For our message we decided to change our message to "Change Happens" which I think is a very good message for assimilation. Since people assimilate to other cultures their changing their view on what they see. Change is always happening, and there's no way to stop this, so it happens and get over it.

Now for our audience we decided to narrow it down to 18-30 years old who are involved with rethinking race. I'm still not sure if this is a strong audience, it may still be to broad but  we'll see! ;)
