The term multiculturalism generally refers to a theory promoting retention of various cultural divisions for the sake of diversity that applies to the demographic make-up of a specific place, usually at the scale of an organization such as a school, business, neighborhood, city or nation. It originated with the emergence of building communities where social integration was promoted without giving anyone group treated as a norm.

In a world where we are now not limited to our geographies, it is not possible to find a place which is not ethnically diverse. With the internet boom, air travel and immigration , I believe it is not possible to isolate an entity and call it multicultural because it has a mix of people…we need to see the world as multicultural. If the world is multicultural then we are in the true state of our existence. Anywhere you go and build a organization, the mix of people would start showing up as the its natural form NOT multicultural.

If we accept this as the NEW look and feel of our world, then we don’t have to stress about how these differences impact tribes and communities. After all we need to remember it is human beings that are equal and not cultures.

Ever noticed kids, they play with each other just for the sake of having fun – they have no cultural comprehension of other kids on the team. To them the world is all equal and what matters is to enjoy the game. Why can’t we enjoy the game of life treating everyone the same – then the world will be simple.

I am not sure why we think Multicultural is an organization, school, group when it is our world that is Multicultural.
