Question

Answer 1

imilation. Assimilation is a co-cultural communication strategy where individuals attempt to fit in with the dominant culture by minimizing the differences between themselves and the dominant group. In this case, the student is choosing to remove her hijab, a visible marker of her cultural and religious identity, which suggests she's trying to blend in with the presumably non-hijab-wearing dominant culture of the classroom or school.
