The United States is a melting pot of many cultures, races and ethnicities. I have learned that each group has differences and many similarities.

It seems in the end many of the groups that are so different have a common interest...

To lack emphasis on culture is to perpetuate the philosophy of single-mindedness and white dominance in our society. In my opinion, our society needs to emphasize culture to a further extent since there can never be too much emphasis on it. The blatant reason why we should accentuate the diversity in society is because it truly represents the essence of the people. It exemplifies all of who we are - our physical, abstract, social, political, and religious being. It reflects our achievements,...

A tolerant society would accept cultural practices that it finds offensive. Discuss.

Language is the medium of culture on which their daily lives and identities are based.

In my country Ukraine when I was born and grew up official language is Ukrainian, but sixty five percentages of the former Soviet republic is a native...

Multiculturalism, as defined as the idea that multiple cultures can co-exist within the same nation, seems on the face of it to be a rather benign idea. The concept that someone living in one culture finds a way to tolerate the cultural practises of other ethnic systems appears to lead to a more peaceful world as conflict between differing groups is set aside. Yet there is a paradox to this idea. Suppose that it is the cultural standard of one group to be intolerant. Is a multicultural...
