Answer 1

Multiculturalism is an ideology advocating that society should consist of, or at least allow and include, distinct cultural and religious groups, with equal status. Whether or not cultural groups should have distinct political status is a contested issue among political scientists. Some nations have adopted official policies of multiculturalism, but the norm is varying conditions of cultural diversity accompanied by greater or lesser degrees of tolerance and acceptance. The term "multiculturalism" or multicultural is also used to describe demographic conditions of cultural and ethnic diversity where it occurs, whether or not it is officially supported by state policy. There is thus an important distinction to be made between official, or de jure multiculturalism and the de facto conditions of cultural diversity, tolerance and cosmopolitanism that have occurred throughout history as well as modern societies. As state policy, multiculturalism has so far been a way of managing cultural diversity by focusing on superficial aspects of cultural identity rather than structural inequalities related to de facto cultural dominance and institutional racism.

Answer 2

Where I live it works well but we do not have groups of people assimilating together our city is to small and we have lots of imigrants.
I think that immigrants should have to live five years in a country town before they are allowed to congregate in the larger cities we need people in our bush and they will find they are accepted for who they are and might want to stay.
Also I went to a catholic school with a very large amount of Italian girls they were not allowed to mix with us there parents never spoke English.
Some of the girls were sent back to Italy to marry there but the others eventually just fitted in even though it was against there parents wishes.
So multi-cultralism has been around for years and it is up to the parents to make sure their fit into our country.

Answer 3

I do not have any information on Australia but you can check Bosnia Herzegovina for an example of how multiculturalism works.

Two teenage girls squabbling in a park in Melbourne

"Get back to where you came from you Greek ^#@!"

"No you get back you Vietnamese *&+#!"

Both probably born in the same maternity ward in Melbourne a few months apart.

Multiculturalism in action!

Answer 5

Multiculturalism DOES NOT WORK! It only destroys our culture and promates racial tension. People wanting to come to this country need to ASSIMILATE or stay the hell where they are!
