Culturism or Citizenship.. Which is MORE important?

Answer 1

Neither - right and wrong are more important.

Answer 2

Citizenship

Answer 3

In my view citizenship. The citizen should identify with their country as a member of that society regardless of their own culture, citizenship can encourage the recognition of tolerance of other citizens who do not share the same views, culture.

Cultural-ism puts the individual above the collective and encourages the ideals of extremism as being acceptable.

The current difficulty in the UK is based on a cultural perspective of extreme attitude displayed by two opposing minorities the BNP who claim 'British culture' is being eliminated and some Muslims who are trying to impose 'their' culture on a secular society

Answer 4

I have never heard the word "culturism" before. I assume you are referring people who immigrate maintaining their previous country's culture.

I believe that if one seeks to become a citizen of another country one should accept the culture of that new country. While it may be part of the family history to keep alive the memory and traditions of the old country, one should become fully invested in the culture of the new country. Otherwise, why become a citizen?

I am an American. If I seek and I am granted citizenship in Poland, I should be willing to become Polish. I should learn the language, understand and embrace the culture. Learn how things are handled and become a become a good Polish citizen. I may want to teach my children about America and maybe have turkey on Thanksgiving Day but I certainly should not expect Poland to accommodate my previous cultural requirements. I would be Polish then, wouldn't I?

By the way, so called multi-culturalism is just another ploy used by socialists to divide and conquer America.

Answer 5

Culturism.

Answer 6

Well, being a citizen, and we have a history of examples, can lead one, or one can be lead, to do evil and bad things, especially as any rag tag idiot can be a citizen. I point to the US as a perfect modern example of the truth of that statement.

Culture, on the other hand, will not fully impede the lust of nature in us, but it will make us stop and question, to seek other methods to 'citizen wars' and racism, based upon the purest evil that colour denotes intellect.

Culture will out over the citizen, for in the former there is less of the herding and sheep instinct, and as for the lemmings, all together now, off the cliff face, a damn fine does of culture will save you from all of that.

Answer 7

Neither. Being a cultured citizen is important.

With improved communication facities ,migration based on technical qualifications etc,multi culture society has become inevitable.Citizenship may be a thread joining several cultures/cultural groups.
