IRINA_888 [86]

Multiculturalism is the process through which new immigrants and their children enculturate into the dominant national culture, yet still retain a distinct ethnic culture of their own.

Multiculturalism in sociology refers to the way a society addresses cultural diversity. It expresses the idea that society is improved by preserving, appreciating and even promoting cultural diversity. It is based on the underlying premise that people from frequently quite different cultures may coexist peacefully. Multiculturalism is a term used in political philosophy to describe how civilizations decide to create and carry out formal laws addressing the fair treatment of other cultures. Either the ‘melting pot’ hypothesis or the ‘salad bowl’ theory describes how multiculturalism normally emerges.
