Question

Why ethnicity will continue to contribute to local diversity even as other cultural elements become globalized?

Answer 1

Answer: Because even in such circumstances, ethnic groups will contribute to the integration of a particular culture into the community.

Explanation:

• No modern society is isolated from the emergence of the involvement of a particular ethnic group from outside, which have, in different ways, become a reality and found their place in a specific society. Sometimes these are historical circumstances that have contributed to the emergence of a particular ethnic minority for a specific area. Today, as globalization is gaining in importance, ethnic minorities have become the reality of every modern society. Emancipated individuals of these minorities find their place in society and become equal members of the wider community, at least in democratic societies. Some members of these ethnic minorities are more or less assimilated into society, but still, retain some aspects of the tradition and history of their ethnic group. In such circumstances, a phenomenon known as multiculturalism is created.

• This model of integration implies equality of all cultures within one society, embracing diversity, defining the relationship between the state and different social groups, and the relationship between minority groups and the majority population. This phenomenon is, as stated above, characteristic of modern, civilized European societies because different conventions protect the rights of minorities, and those states that seek to enrich their cultures are happy to accept diversity, especially if members of the ethnic minority are useful members of society. Therefore, even in the process of globalism, minority ethnic groups in certain circumstances and political and legal frameworks can significantly contribute to the diversity and richness of society.
