Answer to Question 1

Milton Gordon has outlined three possible patterns of intergroup relations. They are as follows:
Anglo-conformity: It assumes the desirability of maintaining modified English institutions, language, and culture as the dominant standard in American life. In practice, assimilation in America has always meant Anglo-conformity, and the groups that have been most readily assimilated have been those that are ethnically and culturally most similar to the Anglo-Saxon group.
The melting pot: It is, strictly speaking, a rather different concept, which views the future American society not as a modified England but rather as a totally new blend, both culturally and biologically, of all the various groups that inhabit the United States. In practice, the melting pot has been of only limited significance in the American experience.
Cultural pluralism: It implies a series of coexisting groups, each preserving its own tradition and culture, but each loyal to an overarching American nation. Although the cultural enclaves of some immigrant groups have declined in importance in the past, many other groups have retained a strong sense of ethnic identity and have resisted both Anglo-conformity and inclusion in the melting pot. Cultural pluralism appears to be the form that race and ethnic relations are presently taking.
