Cultural pluralism<span> is a term used when smaller groups within a larger </span>society<span> maintain their unique </span>cultural identities<span>, and their </span>values<span> and practices are accepted by the wider culture provided they are consistent with the laws and values of the wider society. As a sociological term, the definition and description of cultural pluralism has evolved over time. It has been described as not only a fact but a societal goal.</span>[1]<span> Cultural pluralism is distinct from (though often confused with) </span>multiculturalism<span>. Multiculturalism lacks the requirement of a dominant culture. If the dominant culture is weakened, societies can easily pass from cultural pluralism into multiculturalism without any intentional steps being taken by that society. If communities function separately from each other, or compete with one another, they are not considered culturally pluralistic</span>
