Home Becoming a Different Tone

Multiculturalism, culture it's all great. It's fantastic to see the world at your doorstep. The strange sights, smell, sounds, and foods. It's truly wonderful. It's even better when culture is in the form of tasty meals just down the street. Whatever it be, culture is a great boon to our society. However, no culture is perfect. Furthermore, some cultures are definitely superior, but they all have their faults. I think we should realize that while freedom is amazing and so is multiculturalism. I think it should not be over looked that if we do not stand firm against the influences of other cultures, our homes will no longer look like home. Furthermore, if we allow certain negative influences in culture to come so strongly in our home, we will sooner or later see our country turn into the places they have been escaping from.

 Oft at times people need to realize that while cultures are great and we welcome diversity, don't try and change our country. I say this, because sometimes I feel that people seem to think that they can change our country so it can look like theirs. However, what people need to realize is that they left they're country. And sometimes they left for a very good reason. For the simple fact of, their culture has made decisions they did not like or would be killed.

Furthermore, while there are faults in every culture, I think the main culture of a country should remain the first and foremost culture in the place. In fact, when people come over they should be enveloped in it's culture. Instead, often we see at times that us, as the host nation has to bend over to let people do whatever with our country.

 I think with other cultures, it should be only in pockets. Yes, we can learn from them and stuff, but we don't become them. Take for instance, when you go to China Town, anywhere in your country, it's nice visiting something foreign in your culture. However, as soon as you leave that place you go back to home, and that's how it should be. Not the other way. The problem with people they think that they can control our country. That's not right at all. I think it should be mentioned. This is our country, they cannot do whatever you like. You cannot introduce laws that make you be judged from a different plain. Nor can you mutilate your wives, daughters and mothers because of some religion you have. 

We need to realize that somethings are not acceptable, and not just for the sake of multiculturalism say it's okay because it's understanding them. Murder, acts of violence, rape, they all are what they, whether done by a Indian, Africa-American, Arab, Jew, Chinese, and basically every different ethnicity, is still wrong. Sometimes people seem to forget that.

It would seem that, when cultures come in with unsafe and highly unethical behavior, we will have to say,"no, that's not cool, and definitely not right!" Yes, we may offended others. Mind you, I did not mean this in a violent or confrontational way. However, we will need to say no. Otherwise, we will allow dangerous and negative beliefs in our culture; home will no longer look and feel like home.
