What is accommodation?

What is accommodation?

1.(in race relations) the process in which ethnic groups adjust to each other's existence and coexist  without necessarily resolving underlying differences in conflicts.

2.(more generally, E.G.in politics and domestic life) any individual or group behaviour of the above kind.

3.(as used by the Chicago school) a fundamental social process, analogous to biological adaptation, by which societies achieve adjustment to their environments.

4.One of the mechanisms by which development from one stage to the next is achieved.
