A multicultural society includes people from several different cultures. People of different colours, nationalities, languages live together in one community. A multi-ethnic society has many advantages, because it allows people to experience different ways of life, for example other peoples languages, art, traditions and behaviours.
Multicultural education aims to prepare children for living in a multicultural society by giving them and understanding of different cultures. It works against racism and racial disadvantages in schools. When people learn about different ways of life, they can better understand different cultures.
On the negative side, cultural differences can divide a society. This can be a prejudice and discrimination. There will be always people who think, that their religion and culture is the best and other cultures are wrong. Ethnic minorities way suffer racial disadvantage on a multi-ethnic society. In education children from ethnic minority groups may not perform as well as they could simply, because they are in an unfamiliar environment.
People who have gone abroad to work or to live, they are called expatriates. They never really become part of the society. They spend their time with other expatriates. There is a special ethnic group- Romanies. They are originated from India. They typically don’t live in one place, they are always travelling. The Romanies do various fobs, and they and they are thoughts of as musicians and fortune tellers. The other interesting group live in the Western US are Mormons. They have strict rules, and don’t use tobacco, alcohol. They go from house to house trying to persuade people to join the Mormon Church. In the past, Mormon men were allowed to have more than one wife.
