American Multiculturalism
Introduction
Multiculturalism is typically the incorporation of diverse cultures, and it is characterized by equity and fairness. It enhances relationships between different cultures, thus eliminating racial prejudices. Additionally, it has extensive benefits to the society and economy at large; for instance, it improves customer and partner relations (Nieto, Sonia, and Patty Bode 50-80). Under a community setting, multiculturalism enhances interaction in different ethnic groups. Most importantly, it helps communities to share diversified cultural values, which improve unity in the society.
Research hypothesis
Multiculturalism is hypothesized that it is the most crucial entity in today's way of life. What are the benefits of a society that practices multiculturalism?
Research Review
Multiculturalism is an essential entity to every community, and it is the solution to community problems. For decades we have experienced extra-judicial killings mostly orchestrated by people of different ethnic groups across America. I have interviewed Jacob Patel from Nevada State about his relationship and opinions regarding multiculturalism in America. Jacob is Asian-American and a professor at the University of Nevada, and he lives in a mixed-race neighborhood. In the modern age, cultures are immensely diversified due to movement patterns. In the 16th century, it was quite challenging for a community to integrate with another because of traditional norms of preserving their culture. According to my interviewee, multiculturalism has revolutionized society in significant ways. For example, in Nevada State, there are different cultures, for instance, Chinese, Japanese, Asian, among others, who live and respect one another.
