if you are wondering why diffusion occurs, you must think of sub-atomic particles.

In any given atom, electrons are tiny negetively charged particles that revolve around the nucleus which contains positively charged nuetrons. the electrons repel electrons of neighbouring atoms. so, they tend to be as far away as possible from them (not taking into consideration gravity which holds the atoms together). but once they get repelled, the get repelled again by another neighbouring atom's electrons. thus the tend to be at equal distances from one another. in other words, the tend to spread out and form uniformity. This is why diffusion occurs.

The term you are looking for is cultural diffusion. Cultural diffusion is the process by which ideas, customs, and technology spread between different regions.

What are the 2 types of diffusion and explain fully?

The two types of diffusion are passive diffusion and facilitated diffusion. Passive diffusion is the movement of molecules across a membrane without the need for a protein carrier, driven by the concentration gradient. Facilitated diffusion involves the use of specific protein channels or carriers to help molecules move across the membrane, still following the concentration gradient without requiring energy.
