Answer 1

Joaquin has used the method of "Assimilation" in entering the majority culture. He changed his attitudes and even his name to feel that he belongs to the culture and for him to easily adapt to the changes of his environment. To these changes, it will help him feel that he is in the right place and people will accept him.
