Multicultural

Introduction

Multiculturalism gets defined in many ways depending on where you are; in education, it teaches kids about other cultures, other colors, creeds, continents, all of that. In history, it gives recognition and credit to achievements by minorities who get subordinated or ignored in the past. But if it means the promotion, triumph, celebration, spread of separate racial and ethnic communities, it raises problems. Multiculturalism, to some, is the bedrock that builds true equality in society, while the others see it as a pit that swallows the foundation of communities.

In sociology, it describes how a society deals in the diversity of culture, in the assumption that different cultures members can coexist without fighting or quarrels. Multiculturalism tries to show that a community gets enriched by respecting, encouraging, and even preserving cultural diversity. But it is an ideology which promotes institutionalized communities that contain different cultures, plying mostly to a specific demographic place.

The aspect of multiculturalism makes some societies feel more superior to others, and it affects one’s morale if they are from the opposite side. These create the spread of separatism in ethics and racial, teaching kids’ different languages don’t change their self-esteem, just because they learn it won’t help their community pride. The community generates a society’s satisfaction, and if the community cannot, then no school will help solve it. No public school will take part in promoting and spreading racial and ethnic separatism. Cultural maintenance by the immigrants may get weak acceptance from the host society leads to marginalization and separation. However, if the immigrants show weak cultural conservation, it assimilates the host culture. In contrast, if the host accepts the minority ethnic culture, its’ maintenance may have positive outcomes through economic advantages and immigrant integration for the host community. .

Multicultural societies have different people of the same nationalities, races, and ethnicities living in the same community, sharing their unique cultures, pass down, retain and celebrate their ways of life, art, traditions, language, and behaviors. This is where they spread it to public school, and as its where curricula get crafted, it introduces the youth to the benefits and qualities of cultural diversity. Even though it gets criticized to be political correctness, the education systems in these societies emphasize the traditions and histories of minorities.

However, this can be used by politicians to formulate and pass policies bases on the attitude and view towards multiculturalism, as it plays a significant role for anyone to achieve a high degree in cultural diversity. Making a community, humanity stronger and also may help in its’ long-term survival. In such societies, people have responsibilities and roles that they have to fulfill. Having to work in places that have various ethnic, racial, and cultural groups, it gives the communities to respect, build trust, and the understanding of all the cultures. Organizations and the communities’ benefit from these set of skills, new ways of thinking, backgrounds, and experience which comes with diverse culturalism. However, even with multiculturalism gets used to curb racial and ethnic culture, some societies tend to avoid mixing with others and opt to stay alone, not sharing their traditions, creeds, or art. This makes it hard to even converse with them as they may take you as not one of their kind, or as a threat to them.

Where multiculturalism gets a good reception, members of the society enjoy their rights, such as rights to healthcare, education, to be helped from poverty and protection from crime. The promotion of different cultures brings more traits as it comes with more innovations and respect among the cultures. If taken into account, multiculturalism is helping a lot of cultures to preserve their traditions, art, heritage. It still gets acknowledged by other cultures that they share a community with them.
