The Pros And Cons Of Multicultural Societies

There have been more articles and books written on cultural diversity than most any other subject matter that effects modern societies in the western world, while some are pro diversity, there are many that are not, and while many in the government and most of Canada’s intellectuals tout Canada’s cultural and ethnic diversity as the reason for Canada’s great success and remarkable prosperity in this modern age. There are those who will strongly disagree with this opinion and viewpoint and believe that more time is needed to properly evaluate its outcome. Canada is ranked as the most multicultural society in the world, and a lot of Canada’s success and development has been attributed to migrants coming into Canada and becoming very successful settlers. This has rightly or wrongly, been attributed to multiculturalism and while multiculturalism can have many advantages and can contribute to national success, it does have just as many disadvantages and can lead to events with less than desirable consequences. Leading opinion is that multiculturalism has had a positive outcome on Canada due to Canada now being a country that is so diverse and rich in cultural diversity, that there are now vast amounts of ideas, opinions and lifestyles to explore all within one national identity, even though putting so many races and a varying of cultures together, all of which have vastly opposing value differences, have also lead to acts of discrimination, racism and in some cases violence, the

Despite the all evidences that politics is allowing all kind of cultural diversity to grow within same territory. Those countries which have different cultures are trying to make their state a multicultural state in order to live with peace, for growth and development. This paper discusses about the past present and future of multiculturalism. Cultural diversity from very beginning was existing in different nation There are Jews in Germany, Poles in Ireland, Asians in Canada and so on but the level at which Multiculturalism have reached today became a political issue for those countries which have cultural diversities. People of different cultural diversity are enjoying the same rights and people are practicing different cultures as and extended form of their liberty. People have the freedom to do whatever they want but with in the framework of laws.So the people are exercising the libety of practicing their own culture.There is a discussion about remarkable history of multiculturalism, present position of multiculturalism and the future of multiculturalism.

Individuals of the same ethnic background share the same culture a factor that explains that there, as many cultures as there are ethnic backgrounds across the world. Globalization has, however, led to interaction of people from varied cultural backgrounds. Because of the interaction, globalization has been accused of limiting cultural diversity. It is, however, not the case in reality. The purpose of this paper is to analyze some of the factors that justify that globalization has not limited cultural diversity as its critics say. Thus, globalization should not be viewed as a hindrance to cultural diversity because the best subject of moral concern should be the individual person and not the nation, community or the society.

The integration of global competencies into CTE programs of study is a natural one. CTE students are learning valuable skills related to the program’s industry; and students in the ISSN network, as discussed earlier, are using deeper analytic skills to research and address issues of global significance. Research in both areas demonstrates that engagement in real‐world learning on issues of global significance leads to persistence and higher achievement. To combine CTE with the methods and strategies of a globally focused education is a powerful way to engage, motivate, and ultimately ensure that students graduate from high school with the skills needed to succeed in the interconnected environment in which they will be living and working. Increasing numbers of careers are requiring global competency, facility with world languages and cultures, and the ability to work in global teams. At a fundamental level, CTE’s role is to prepare students for successful careers, and quality CTE programs should provide opportunities for students to learn and apply global competencies in order for students to successfully participate in the Am Rapid economic, technological, and social changes are

Relative preferred standpoint is the capacity of a country to deliver the different assets that are required by its subjects for and furthermore for import to gain it income. It's a monetary wonder where diverse nations effectively contend to create quality items at low costs. Generation of value items that are extremely modest interest to numerous clients. Such a circumstance has prompted clashes between countries as one country could be delivering a given item and pitches it to their natives at a higher cost than the cost of that comparative item that has been transported in.

Canada is a place known to be a multiculturalism country to many. Although it is meant to be a positive thing in many minds, it is also tended to be a negative thing. This is shown in the essays “No Place Like Home” by Neil Bissondath, and “Immigrants, Multiculralism, and Canadian citizenship” by Will Kymlicka. Both essay make powerful points to why multiculturalism is negative, but also shows the method that the authors use to write such as racism, how both author’s use the pathos and logos method, but also false premises.

Britain has changed quite significantly over the past few decades in terms of cultural diversity. Whereas Britain was largely white not so long ago, the number of ethnic minorities has been steadily increasing and this growth does not look likely to stop anytime soon. Demographic experts have, infact, predicted that by 2050, 1 in every 5 British person will belong to an ethnic minority. The question issue I will be discussing in the following essay is: what effect does this influx of immigrants and their cultures have on the social integrity of Britain and its people?

Tye article on global education, allows the reader to understand global education by providing an analysis of what global education is and how it can be useful.

On the other hand, living in a more multicultural society helps us understand, acknowledge and embrace different habits and believes. When we are able to understand someone else’s culture, we start to become more open minded and

In America, people are born and raised to believe that this country was founded on human rights such as life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. In reality these rights were not always accessible for minorities in United States. Minorities in America have had to overcome obstacles including being treated as second class citizens. Multiculturalism has existed alongside the history of America ever since the setters migrated to the new world. People have always migrated to this country for thousands of years moving into different habitats and spreading their influences over one another the mixing of different cultures has resulted in many different outcomes depending on their situation. Multiculturalism, once a radical idea in America, has risen through time to promote peace and equal coexistence for Americans.

Multiculturalism is known as the presence of, or support for the presence of, several distinct cultural or ethnic groups within a society. In the 2001 census 7.5% of the population were people born abroad. This figure has been increasing and the 2011 census reported a figure of 13%. Certain issues however tend to arise with these ‘multicultural societies’ due to various different factors, one of them being the economy. In the UK there has been legislation on anti-racism, employment rights and equal opportunities to combat discrimination, prejudice and racism. Despite this, the cost of state benefits can cause resentment and racial intolerance. In 2002 it was calculated that the net tax contribution of migrants to the UK economy was £2.5 billion

More people are exposed to different global cultures through vacation travel, transnational jobs, international conflicts or migration. In these circumstances business that was previously domestic, now has a global precedent. Therefore, countries, in order to work to their advantage, must engage diversity. Multicultural societies are ahead in years beyond monolithic societies. As a matter of fact, intercultural countries have to spend less time and resources, in order to prepare its human resources, than monolithic nations. For these reasons, intercultural societies are dynamic and flexible before unexpected changes of the international arena achieving a better performance in the long

Multiculturalism is the occurrence of multiple cultures within one society, fundamentally due to the influx of immigrant societies, or the approval and encouragement of this occurrence. Many people have different views of multiculturalism. The people who have a negative view towards multiculturalism tend to argue against the uniting of a wide range of different cultures, races and faiths, in their points of view multiculturalism would be seen as a “mosaic” form, which tends to occur more likely in the US than in Europe, as it would fundamentally mean that they are putting races, religions and cultures into different groups, however they are not uniting as one society, another word for that would be integration. Whereas, the people that agree

The advantage of widespread education is the cultivation of international skills and attitudes, contributing to the values of university education.

Globalization is commonly examined by simply dissecting its political and economic consequences. As a result, the effects on culture are often overlooked. According to U.S. Census projections, by 2043 non-Hispanic whites will become a minority consisting of 47 percent of the U.S. population (Barreto, et al 1). Examining the world as a whole, a 2015 study by the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs/Population Division found that between 1950-2000, an average of 2.8 million people per year migrated to North America and Europe. From 2000-2015, that rate accelerated to 4.1 million per year. What is more, this study projects that from 2015-2050, 91 million people are expected to migrate to high-income countries and produce an 82 percent increase in population in destination countries. Clearly, the prospect of steady migration and the continuing effects of globalization are expected to produce more multicultural societies. Unfortunately for many, “foreign” has become synonymous with danger (Rothkopf). The debate between cultural unity and cultural plurality dates back to the Greeks where they questioned universal human goodness and the differences between societies. More than two millennia later, the issue of a common versus diverse human culture remains contentious. This paper argues that a diverse human culture is more desirable than a universal culture because states and societies benefit from promoting and protecting diversity.
