Multiculturalism

Jump to: navigation, search

Multiculturalism is a Marxist social theory which asserts that all cultures, races and religions are equal and able to live with harmony. Multiculturalists advocate the protection and recognition of cultural differences by the state. Multiculturalism is opposed to the idea of a dominant national culture as well as to the thought of a Melting Pot, which expects the assimilation into the dominant culture. The goal of multiculturalism is the multicultural society, in which there is no governmental or non-governmental incentive or pressure to assimilate. The ethnic and cultural groups should rather co-exist. This model is based on the premise that the respective ethnic groups are mutually understanding, respectful, tolerant, and view each other as equals.

In a multicultural society, emerging conflicts should be - according to the will of the proponents of such a model of society - minimized through so-called "intercultural education" as well as by a restrictive anti-discrimination legislation.
