What are the benefits of a multi cultural society?

Answer 1

In a multi cultural society the different cultures wanted to be isolated from the others so it makes troubles.
London bombing etc.
Only in utopia will be a nice and lovely multi-cultural society!

Answer 2

The term "multiculturalism" is again at the centre of a debate in the UK after the head of the Commission for Racial Equality said it was of another era and should be scrapped.
Trevor Phillips told the Times the term suggested "separateness" and was no longer useful. He pleaded for greater tolerance of Muslims and said "we must call them British".

Senior UK Conservative Alan Duncan has responded by calling for a "grown-up" debate on immigration.

Some comments by people on this subject have been:

1.The UK has been a multicultural country for hundreds of years. Different races and nationalities should be recognised. I mean if citizens are integrated will there be such as thing as a Scottish/Irish/Welsh/English person. Why there were different cultures as far back as 1000s. You had the Celts, the Anglo-Saxons, Vikings and Normans. Why should it be a big deal now?

2. Multicultural society has positives. I think it is wonderful to see different cultures and races learn from one another. If people were less afraid of knowing different cultures, there would be so much more harmony in our society today. I agree some people from all cultures tend to keep themselves away from mixing with other groups and that is not beneficial to any society. If I go to Italy, I am going to meet Italians and show them my culture just as I am going to learn some of their ways. I therefore believe such give and take should be practised in this country... but if Brits go abroad and refuse to mix with the natives of those lands then why should it be expected that other cultures be expected to adhere solely to British ways? British ways are not always the best ways... we need to appreciate other cultures because a broadened society makes a better life for all of us.

3. The concept of multiculturalism is an insult to the chosen country of adoption. Respect is earned by those coming here by their attitude towards the UK; respect is expected of those coming here towards the UK way of life. The PC brigade have tilted the balance too much towards the UK bending towards imported and alien cultures.

the Only benefit is that if you declare war on another country you don't have to go through passport control you can just walk in and do what you want.
what this country needs is a big stick and sharper teeth, instead of this open arm policy that has been adopted hear by week people in goverment petrified of making a law that may upset someone.

Answer 4

It keeps people friendly and in touch with other cultures. You can experience the food and drink of another culture without having to travel to that country. You can see people of another culture in an environment they have created for themselves. It helps to nurture tolerance and demonstrates that Right Wing politics of South Africa and Europe are wrong. Humanity benefits from diversity.

Answer 5

One obvious benefit is the diverse range of foods which other cultures bring to the UK.
