Multicultural society brings more benefits to the country than drawbacks. In what extent do you agree or disagree?
The modern world order generally entails a population that
hails from diverse ethnicities, cultures, regions and corners of the world.
This can be easily experienced in various cities and countries, today. This has,
however, somehow led to a rigorous argument as some feel that multicultural
societies are laden with significant benefits, while other feel that such a
social setting is a recipe to disaster.
Housing people from diverse cultures, who also use diverse
languages, sometimes, can prove to be counterproductive. Humans, whatever, they
may do, cannot brush aside their tribal attitudes and cultural and languages
bias, which can surface at any point of time. This can lead to social discord,
and some case often end up in civil strife thus making situations turn ugly.
But, nonetheless, countries having sizeable representation
from diverse cultures often support a tolerant and receptive outlook, and earn
a reputation for being a progressive society. People residing in such vibrant
settings often obtain multiple benefits, since they are guaranteed safe social
surrounding that sans racial slur, and that promotes acceptability. The
governments of such countries make it a point to extend and render support to
every section of society. Such communities have known to maintain and sustain a
harmonious and peaceful lifestyle for a long time.
Moroever, it is believed that each culture and
language carry its distinct content of wisdom and knowledge accumulated by the
ancestors of natives, of those cultures and users of tongue, which helps in
creating a synergy of efforts, knowledge and wisdom. This integrated knowledge
can be harnessed productively and bring in rich returns for the society.
To sum up, I personally feel; in the age of globalized
society, living in a multicultural
society would be highly beneficial even though there are some challenges such surroundings pose; however, these can be surmounted by adopting prudent approach by both the state and citizens.
