Multiculturalism - Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Multiculturalism is a word that describes a society that has many different cultures living together. It is the simple fact of cultural diversity.

In a multicultural society, there is not an official culture that is decided by the people in charge for everyone. Instead, different cultures are similarly respected.

A multicultural society can result when people from many different countries migrate to one place, or an empire conquers many countries. Tolerance is a great help for multiculturalism. Xenophobia makes it difficult.

A multicultural society would be composed of people from different ethnic backgrounds and cultures living and working together. People from different backgrounds link with one another's culture, which shows the acceptance of their culture and background.
