Cultural Diffusion

Cultural Diffusion is the process by which cultural traits, beliefs, practices, or innovations spread from one society or social group to another through contact, migration, or communication, distinguished from other forms of cultural change by its emphasis on intergroup transmission rather than independent invention or internal development.
