Question

What would be the BEST example of cultural pluralism?

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is A. Establishing communities like New York City's "Little Italy" is the best example of cultural pluralism.

Cultural pluralism is a trend that occurs in modern urban societies, where people from different cultures and religions live among themselves. One of these groups usually forms a majority society, while the others live in it as minorities. Thus, on the one hand, cultural pluralism seeks the conditions and limits of their peaceful coexistence, but also examines the unexpected advantages or strengths of such cultural diversity.  

Answer 2

Answer:

D)

The blending of different cultures together is like a "melting pot."

Explanation:

Significance: As a concept cultural pluralism is an alternative to the “melting pot” view that immigrants should assimilate to American culture by abandoning their own cultures, languages, and other traditions.

Cultural pluralism is a term used when smaller groups within a larger society maintain their unique cultural identities, and their values and practices are accepted by the wider dominant culture provided they are consistent with the laws and values of the wider society.

France and Germany both are examples of nations with culture pluralism, since they have within their borders large communities of immigrants from Turkey, Morocco, Algeria, Vietnam, Senegal and many others
