What multiculturalism means

Concept map of multiculturalism showing culture and identity, recognition, minority rights, diversity, assimilation versus integration, and criticisms

Multiculturalism is the idea that a society can contain several cultural communities and that these differences should be positively recognised rather than forced to disappear. It rejects simple assimilation, where minorities are expected to abandon distinct customs, languages or beliefs and absorb into the dominant culture.
