Answer:

It depends on how you want to look at it.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assimilate means to take in (information, ideas, or culture) and understand fully. So if you do it will help you understand and appreciate another culture. Assimilating into a new society will help you understand and appreciate those cultural trends. But assimilation to immigrants in America (or other places) might lead to depression and related mental health challenges. Immigrants can experience anxiety when they have to try and learn a new language, find a new job, or navigate hostility toward different ethnic groups in contemporary society.
