Essay. Compare and Contrast Assimilation and Accommodation. Describe each and how they
differ. Then give a specific answer of each. Give a personal example of one be sure to name
which one you are describing. - ANSWER Assimilation = new information is taken in
without changing existing scheme.

,Accommodation = schemes are changed in response to new information.
Specific example:
Assimilation is when new information is taken in and fit within an existing scheme so we can
make sense of the information. With assimilation we may have little understanding due to
lack of experiences so information is categorized based off of what we already know and
understand. We categorize the new information and change it to fit within the existing
scheme. For example a child may associate every old man with a mustache as grandpa.
Accommodation refers to the changing of a scheme when we recieve new information. As
new information is taken in through new experiences we are better able to understand the
information thus changing the scheme to better fit the new information. For example as the
child ages and interacts more with their grandpa they are able to understand that not every
old man with a mustache is grandpa.
My personal experience with accommodation would be the idea that every church that
clapped, raised their arms, or played loud music during worship must be church associated
with tent revivals, people falling to the ground, and filled with crazy people. I was frightened
by the idea of people dancing around and hollering while praising Jesus since I came from a
catholic upbringing and only an organ played the hymns as the congregation sang along in
unison. Something as simple as raising your hands during worship would have been extreme
in that setting. As I have aged an attended many different types of churches, with many
different types of worship my scheme of how to act during worship has also changed.
Watching people clap, dance, or shout during songs at church I no longer view as extreme
and now see it as just another way someone can pr
