Cultural diversity, or multiculturalism, is based on the idea that cultural identities should not be discarded or ignored, but rather maintained and valued. The foundation of this belief is that every culture and race has made a substantial contribution to American history. However, many people remain opposed to the idea of multiculturalism, or cultural diversity awareness, while others often support it and yet have no clear idea of how it should be taught. The diversity of the United States is truly astounding, as many different ethnic and racial groups have contributed to the social,

Multiculturalism is not only about race and religion. It’s about the diversity of two or more cultures in some region or country. All types of ethnic groups begin to learn and adapt to other cultural traditions: different languages, educational backgrounds, customs, values and religions. For instance, America culture is very popular with all immigrants because most people in America are immigrants. When they arrive in America, they must communicate with other people in English. In public activities, they must accept American cultural traditions, and they must use their own customs, values, religions, traditional festivals and experiences to influence their

Multicultural education refers to an assortment of rules, courses and exercises for creating an environment where everyone can learn together with differences. An idea to create movement, help children and make sure minority students are included and never left out.

What is multicultural education? Does it involve diversity? What qualifies as being diverse? Well, according to James A. Bank multicultural education is “the idea that all students—regardless of their gender, sexual orientation, social class, and ethnic, racial, or cultural characteristics—should have an equal opportunity to learn in school” (Banks, p. 1), not regarding in what socioeconomic level the students and their families “belong” in. In the article “Sociology: Understanding and Changing the Social World”, the upper class consists of households that earn more than $200,000 per year, this only includes 4% of the U.S. household population, the middle class is divided in two parts, the upper-middle class ranges from households that earn between $150,000-$199,999, while the lower-middle class household earns from $50,000-$74,999. The upper-middle class is only about 4.4% and the lower middle-class population is about 18% of households in the U.S. The lower class, which is called the working class consist of 25% of households in the U.S., they earn about $50,000-$74,999. (Sociology: Understanding and Changing the Social World, 2010).

The concept of multiculturalism is a recently introduced one, and is rapidly gaining popularity in all parts of the world.. This idea not only promotes the coming together of different cultures, but also helps eradicate discrimination against different races, and people from all walks of life.

In a first-grade classroom the teacher has heard about how important it is to include multicultural activities. She begins doing so by spending a few days on different countries. When studying the countries the teacher teaches the students things such as the country’s flag, language, food, clothing, and music. Holidays are also included in the few days of study about the country. At a first glance, one could easily say the teacher has incorporated multicultural studies into her classroom. However, upon closer inspection of what it truly means to incorporate multicultural studies, it could be determined that the teacher was taking a superficial approach, known as a ‘tourist approach’ to teaching the students about different countries and cultures. Once this has been brought to the third-grade teacher’s attention, she quickly researches better ways to teach students about countries and cultures and changes her curriculum accordingly. She finds that she was right in starting multicultural education at a young age for the children (Berthelsen & Karuppiah, 2011, p. 38). She also found it is better to connect it to the students and their families, to connect it to the students’ lives, to include hands-on activities, and to explore similarities among the different groups of people.

It has become conventional wisdom in sociology that large scale socio-historical transformations have led modern day social actors to develop complex selves composed of a growing set of individual identities (Frank & Meyer 2002; Smith-Lovin 2007). Within increasingly multicultural, multiethnic, multireligious societies, individuals potentially come to be located at the intersection of multiple and cross-cutting group affiliations, all related to different identities. This multiplicity has important implications because each identity exerts influence on social thought and action (Stryker & Stratham 1985; Tajfel 1978). There is evidence that this influence can be positive, as the ability

Migration is the first reason of multiculturalism. Because of many migrations it is impossible to mention monocultural civilizations nowadays. It is indicated that we can only talk about monoculturalist countries if they are introverted or being stay away from technology and science. In short, the countries which are the enforcer of oppressive regime it is impossible to talk about multicultiralist system. However, in the repressive countries multiculturalism is inevitable. It is not possible to keep away people from the world no matter how their goverment tries to prevent multiculturalism as a example of Iran.
