The number of multicultural cities is increasing due to globalisation. Does this development have more advantages or disadvantages?

A highly controversial issue relates to whether the fact that

multiculturalism

is more and more prevalent because of globalization is beneficial or not. In

this

essay, I am going to examine

this

question from both points of view and

then

explain why I believe as more and more towns are becoming multicultural,

this

does more good than harm to

people

's everyday life. There are some individuals who argue

multiculturalism

has favourable effects on their lives. The main reason for believing

this

is that their lives become less monotonous and boring.

For instance

, there are a large number of stores in Osaka offering food from abroad, enabling

people

there to add spice to their lives. It is

also

possible to say companies in multicultural cities can increase their creativity.

For example

, Japanese

people

are good at improving the quality of existing products, while Americans produce goods from scratch. By combining both of their merits, companies can continue to release a lot of high-quality goods and services.

On the other hand

, others claim

multiculturalism

is an undesirable trend. They have

this

opinion because it leads to cultural losses. Tokyo attracts

people

from all over the world, and residents there often see those around them speak foreign languages and feel as if they were in another nation.

As a result

, the uniqueness of Tokyo seems to have vanished. The

second

point is that

multiculturalism

deprives local

people

of job opportunities.

For instance

, Immigrants from other nations work for lower salaries than local citizens.

This

is exactly what is happening in the U.S. In conclusion, I believe both arguments have their own merits. On balance,

however

, I feel the fact that an increasing number of towns is becoming multicultural is preferable. Human beings have an innate tendency to shun boredom, which needs are met by

multiculturalism

.
