name me one society where multiculturalism works?

Question

because i cant think of one,put simply multiculterism doesnt work.as we are all to different.im not saying im right and other race creeds are wrong were just different,hence it doesnt work due to religiouse beliefs moral standardsand etiqute.example ive heard in some arab countries its polite to belch after a meal to me thats just plain bad manners.eastern europeans killing swans for food.[please there not hungry as they get social security.]another example why do asians tend to stick to certain areas in the uk,hence seperating themselves from the rest of society.in my opinion they want to be with there own kind,which is fine but not axactly multiculteral is it.

Answer 1

Your question in itself was so full of ethnocentricity that it sheds light on why you will never find a country where multi-culturalism 'works'.

The other part of it is what do you mean by 'work'? If you are looking for a utopian society with inter-culturalism- you won't find it- because there is no utopian society.

You may want to elaborate on your question a bit more.

Remember... a society is not necissarily divided by political boundaries, a society is a group of people who identify closely with one another.

Military units, clubs, and charity organizations can all be seen as societies and sub-cultures. So there may be more than you realize depending on your definitions of 'society' and 'work'

"The right to be different, the duty to integrate: that is what being British means. " Tony Blair. Which sounds almost oxymoronic, but there is a genuine tension. The tyranny of an imposed conformity is not to be wished for. But neither is a society fragmented into cultural and racial enclaves. So what's the alternative but trying for tolerant diversity around a core set of common values? (and there will be enough of a row about those: who do YOU support at cricket?) For America, the same tension can be expressed taking the mythic ideal of "freedom" and putting it alongside the mythic ideal of "the melting pot.": E Pluribus Unum, as the motto says. What if, exercising freedom, some choose not to be melted down to the American ideal, or norm? Not liking either extreme, I've got to opt for some degree of multiculturalism. But I think we are overdue for a clear statement of the responsibilities as well as the rights of being a citizen.

Answer 3

I'm afraid that for the following reason you'll NEVER find one;

Whether we are Black, White, Asian or whatever.
Our sub-conscious mind will often operate an 'Apartheid' system of it's own.

We might fight it, deny it, and object furiously against it.
But it IS there. It's indelible.
Like our ability to murder, torture & rape.

As a civilised, honest, caring person that we should be,
those traits are controlled. Put down VERY deep into our sub-conscious mind.

But never fool yourself that they are NOT there.
It's a personal DEFENSE mechanism, that's inbuilt into our DNA.

Much like the computer you're reading this page on.
The 'hard drive' likely contains a lot of information you don't wish to see.
(Like the anti-virus software)
So you leave it where it is for the life of the computer.
But IF you needed it at some stage, it's there to defend itself.
