Just Too Much Culture

Multiculturalism, to a certain extent is recipe for disaster. Multiculturalism, in essence means that people are divided. When people are divided, their can be hostility, and when there are hostility, there can be violence.

The idea of multiculturalism, in an ideal world is where everyone respects each others cultures. We take the best from it, cross fingers, and hope that we don’t take the worst from it.

It’s a great ideal. However, like most good ideas, they don’t always work out. Furthermore, like most things that are different, it causes conflict. Having multiculturalism is supposed to avoid racism from the host people. However, what it doesn’t necessarily avoid is those who come, being so.

Too many times with multiculturalism, you have little bits of a country in the host country. While charming in small amounts. It’s not assimilation. In fact, it’s total failure of assimilation. The problem is that when you make little countries in your backyard, you find that you have just a little bits of the original countries' problems.

Multiculturalism in all intents or purposes, is invitation for people to not assimilate. It basically says, feel free to live as you once lived. However, as we know, certain cultures can be so opposite to one another. While sometimes harmless, these differences can be so large that the result can be explosive.

The main problem with multiculturalism is that, another country will never be like at back at “home”. Sometimes for a very good reason, and other times for other reasons.

It’s great when you can see the good of multiculturalism with things like: food, music, manners, are brought. However, other times we see other things.

Multiculturalism is great, but only now are we really seeing the repercussions of it. Too many times when people aren’t united by one common strand, they turn onto each other. While we cannot change our skin color to a certain extent, we can change our culture.

Multiculturalism cannot really exist, as to a certain degree, all cultures have different ideals. Only teaching of what is acceptable of a culture can exist. If you break the word down, multiculturalism is many cultures. However, only one culture can only really exist, and it must be the host nation’s culture. Everything else, must become second.
