Blog Summary: What have we learnt?

         Thankyou to everyone that read my blog. This is sadly the last post, but I hope those of you that did read all of my posts have taken something valuable from the experience, and found the topics of debate interesting. I also hope that you have changed your opinion on certain matters, and have a firm grasp on multiculturalism, both as it existed in the past, and now in present day.

We have looked at multiculturalism on a range of different scales, but the same issues seem to arise in every scenario. I talked about multiculturalism in the city of Birmingham, the country of Britain, the continent of Europe, and the superpower of America, but multiculturalism seems to be at the same stage in all of these differing locations. Politicians from all of these regions claim that multiculturalism has failed, as national identity is lost, and social integration is not in effect efficiently.

 Members of the public that are against multiculturalism all seem to have the same reasons for their negativity too, mainly that they are worried about lack of jobs, and that they are afraid to embrace an alien culture. I personally think that any individual should have the right to live in any country on Earth, as long as they are willing to work hard to help that country succeed, and they are willing to respect that country’s culture, as well as holding onto aspects of their own culture.

Governments should put in place better schemes to help smaller communities integrate, so that people do not just stay in an isolated group of people of their own ethnicity. I believe that one day the human race will be one single, vastly varied culture, and we will possibly see the eradication of countries and boundaries. Maybe when people stop caring about the colour of another person’s skin or the ethnic background of an individual, maybe then we can all combine our unique intelligence together, and help humanity progress into a new peaceful age.
