What is the history of the item or behavior (i.e., is the item derived from a particular religious story or edict)?
Finally, consider the following statement and respond.
In order for an individual to be properly assimilated into a new culture, she should reject the traditions and culture of her previous country and concentrate on those of the new country. Wearing items that identify an individual with a culture outside his or her adoptive country slows down the assimilation process, or worse, alienates the individual from his or her adoptive society.
