Regional integration is the integration of several countries' markets, trade policies, or other policies originally subject only to sovreign states' decisions in common supranational institutions. An example is the founding of the European Community, now known as the European Union.
A similar notion also in international politics, is the absorption of a smaller entity by a larger or more powerful one (e.g. the integration of Tibet into China).
The integral value of a real numberx is defined as the largest integer which is less than, or equal to, x. The integral value of x is often denoted by and called the floor function.
In abstract algebra, an integral domain is a commutative ring with 0 ≠ 1 in which the product of any two non-zero elements is always non-zero. Integral domains are generalizations of the integers.

The problem of social integration is reduced to the explanation of such forms of integration as "functional integration," "racial integration," and "cultural integration." Another common approach to integration study is using synonyms such as: cohesion, synthesis, unification, etc. to define the term.
Cultural integration is always a matter of degree; one may speculate that the degree is a measurement of the ties between the homogenous segments of a culture.
Because integration is not discussed, the students are left to "guess" what integration truly involves, or students are struck by the fact that integration is not yet described and this problem requires further investigation.
