| STEP 1 : Lecture de l’image : Salad-bowl identities 5 kea elements ? > Race > Ethnicity > Gender > Sexuality > Disability status Definition of multiculturalism : Multiculturalism on a large scale combines (mixes / associates / compounds / merges / correlates / relates) ethnicity, gender, sexuality, education, family structure, economic status, geographic locations which are all inter-dependent (reciprocal /reciprocated / conjoint / intermutual) elements in the working of multiculturalism. Hobbies, passions, beliefs, religious faith may interfere in the way people interact. Misperception (misinterpretation / misunderstanding) of others’ differences may also interfere (block / obstruct) interaction. STEP 2 : Video : multiculturalism explained by Andrew Klavan https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9POkP2oCFhA What is multiculturalism ? It is a mix (a compound) of different ethnicities, origins, cultures, religions, imported from various geographic locations. It is the interdependence of education, economic status, ethnic origin, beliefs, religious faith of people from various countries. Multiculturalism is a philosophy (a doctrine / a principle / a code) by which every culture is morally valid. So no culture should impose its rules. Nobody should be allowed to impose (enforce / thrust / foist) his own culture, faith or rules upon someone else. Immigrants (refugees / asylum seekers) shouldn’t be forced (shouldn’t have to) accept the principles of the country they go to. They should be allowed to keep their language and manners (life-style / way of life / habits) Multiculturalism helps to avoid chauvinism (patriotism / nationalism) and cultural domination when people have to (are forced to) assimilate (adapt / get integrated) in a country. It guarantees open-mindedness (tolerance / acceptance / broad-mindedness). Does it work in France ? I think it doesn’t work because people are not open-minded. They are narrow-minded (intolerant) and biased (prejudiced against other people). People are mistrustful. Being a stranger (a foreigner) is viewed as suspiscious (dubious / conspicuous / distrustful / doubtful). It doesn’t work because people are not willing to accept differences. The system should allow differences. The system should allow different religions to express themselves freely. Yet in a city like Saint-Denis, there are 130 different nationalities. People live together and they are not isolated in their community. At school, there is no discrimination and students respect each other’s culture. Diversity makes people more open-minded. Growing up in a multicultural place makes people more tolerant. STEP 3 : Multiculturalism in the USA ? Federalism : The states are allowed to retain their cultures, including the legal rules that flow from those cultures thanks to federalism. Religious freedom : It is a country with a considerable range of religious views and even religious cultures. American religious freedom has always included religious tolerance — the willingness to let religious groups live free of deliberate persecution > like for the Quakers for example. Free speech : The Free Speech Clause facilitates multiculturalism and especially the preservation of immigrant cultures. People can also organize political movements together with their fellow immigrants. Parental rights : Parental rights are not absolute, but they remain powerful protectors for cultures. | ||
