Question

Is multi-culturalism a threat to the United States.?

Answer 1

Multiculturalism brings diverse ideas, opinions and skills to the society. It can certainly enhance the society and make a positive contribution and break down cultural and ethnic barriers. This is happens when the different culture are willing interact freely and exchange ideas and assimilate with the society. Certain sectors of the US society may view other cultures as a threat esp. post 911 hysteria. Cultures that choose to isolate themselves from the society may pose a threat.

Answer 2

Multi-culturalism in itself is not a threat. The beliefs and actions based on those beliefs of people may pose a threat.

Multi-culturalism can bring a lot of good, new ideas to the U.S.. There may be periods of adjustment where different people have to learn to live together. But, that's been the situation ever since the Europeans came to the U.S. and interacted with the people already living on the continent. And, learning to live together and respect others is part of everyday life, right?
