assimilation vs. multiculturalism debate
The assimilation vs. multiculturalism debate refers to the discussion and differing perspectives on how diverse cultures and ethnicities should coexist within a society. Assimilation advocates for the merging of different cultural groups into a dominant culture, emphasizing a common language, values, and norms. Multiculturalism, on the other hand, supports the recognition and preservation of various cultures, promoting equality, diversity, and accommodation of different customs and traditions. The debate centers around the question of whether integration should favor a melting pot approach or celebrate cultural diversity.
