Let People Keep Their Cultural Identities

Many nations around the world would cease to exist if they were not made up of so many people with so a variety cultures. Many ideals and biases have been established that state that many cultures should assimilate and become one with the majority. Another bias is Multiculturalism which states that an individual is able to keep one's cultural identity and create unity through this. What seems to be the most successful and easiest way to create unity is to let people keep their cultural identities. It assists in the making make a united union because it allows many people of many different cultures to express themselves and share ideas. Multiculturalism also acts as a pull factor which is that all other cultures will be accepted. Also, with multiculturalism, culture barriers will not stand in the way of people fitting in with society giving individuals a sense of freedom that they are not obligated to become part of a cultural majority.

The reason why letting people keep their cultural identities is very is effective to make a successful nation is because it help share the ideas of other people of other cultures .

By only having only one set culture, people turn to believe that there can only be one majority culture and tend to think that their ways are in some way the most effective . Also that a nation may not get the chance to experience how the many other nations of the world work and how they can contribute to society. By having a vast variety of people with different backgrounds, a much greater number of people can share ideas in different ways that others. Assimilation rarely gets to have this opportunity as the assimilated society will have a very large majority and a minority that may not be even be completely listened

to.
Multiculturalism also acts as a pull factor it is welcoming as multiculturalism does not have people to worry about the risk of losing their cultural identities as said by the Health Research Fund. With this working as a pull factor, Nations become more unified as they do not discourage majority or minority. Assimilation can be seen as a good thing but it can be seen as discouraging as it favors and will make its people part of a majority. By allowing people to hold onto their cultural identity, it gives of a sense of equality as every individual person has
Lastly, Multiculturalism is better for creating a united nation because it does not leave the population of different cultural backgrounds to feel obligated to let go of their previous culture to assimilate to a new one. This uncertainness of people can possibly bring disunity. As stated by the parliament of Canada in the Canadian multiculturalism act; all people of any culture will have mutual respect as everyone else. Multiculturalism is better because how can an individual be respected mutually of their culture if they have to let go of it? Unlike assimilation, Multiculturalism gives no risk of losing one's identity to a majority.
In conclusion, Multiculturalism is more effective in creating a united nation. Its sense of security, freedom, and equality create unity among people and really show what multiculturalism is capable of. This method of unity breaks all prejudice and barriers in a culture's way in becoming active in society.
