In the era of globalization, multicultural societies are common in most developed
countries
.
As a result
, new challenges at both the national and international levels have emerged, and successfully adapting to
this
new phenomenon of migration has become an essential issue.
Therefore
, there are some
people
who argue that
this
tendency will bring more benefits than drawbacks to
society
. Personally, I partially agree with
this
idea.
Firstly
, a multicultural
society
can promote innovation within the entire
society
to some degree.
This
is because
people
from different
countries
speak different native languages, representing diverse thought processes.
In other words
, the existence of a pluralistic
society
represents the diversity of thought processes within it. When
people
communicate with those who have different thinking modes, it can ultimately lead to the development of their divergent thinking and promote innovation in
society
as a whole.
Besides
, a multicultural
society
is conducive to integrating different cultures. In the past,
due to
geographical isolation and other factors,
people
from different
countries
did not understand each other enough. Even with limited information or even blockades, citizens from various ethnic groups may misunderstand or discriminate against others.
However
, with the development of the internet and global transportation,
people
now live together regardless of their nationalities and communicate with each other to exchange what they have.
This
is beneficial in enhancing the understanding between
people
from all
countries
.
For example
, Europeans' understanding of China used to largely come from movies and they misunderstood it as a deprived and backward country. As more and more Europeans come to live or work in China, there is a growing recognition and appreciation for Chinese culture.
This
facilitates cultural exchanges between China and foreign
countries
.
Admittedly, the existence of a multicultural
society
can cause some issues. One of the most obvious things is that
people
with weak national identities are very easy to be eroded by other
countries
' cultures, which eventually leads to cultural assimilation.
However
, at present, governments of all
countries
attach great importance to the protection and promotion of their own culture. They
also
strengthen education in history and language from a young age. I believe that to a certain extent,
this
can improve the cultural identity of their citizens.
In conclusion, despite the drawbacks that multiculturalism may bring about, it seems to me that it would exert beneficial impacts on
countries
globally.
