The whole is always greater than the sum of parts

Interesting question. Any society (group of people) is strong as a sum of it's parts, when compared to an individual trying to stand alone.
However, (and this is very important) that same society is as fragile as its weakest link. So a community (society) is strong as a whole, but those members of the society who do not contribute (drug users, welfare recipients, those in abject poverty, the homeless, etc...) form the weakest link. And those people tend to have the most children (poverty begets poverty). So your weakest link keeps growing. Eventually, if left unchecked, it will snap and tear apart the fabric of your society.

I don't think britain in truely multicultural. In the sense that a group different cultures live as one society. Just lots of different groups living on the same island, and in some cases with little or no contact with other groups.
I don't think any good will ever come of this, because there is no single history or culture that bonds all these people together.

multiculture is a strange idea.
as I see it, if we all live as one group then that is monoculture, and if we all live apart as seperate groups that is still just many singular monocultures.
where is multiculture?
