MOST Programme - Multiculturalism: A Policy Response to Diversity Understandably, multiculturalism as one model of a democratic policy response to cultural and ethnic diversity is of interest to UNESCO, in so far as it corresponds to the ideal of a culture of peace, based on respect of diversity, as well as universally shared values and norms. In particular, the phrase multiculturalism was seen in the late 1960s and 1970s by the French-speaking population as an English majority tactic for reducing the " founding status " of the French to the same political significance as that of late immigrant settler populations, such as the Ukranian settlers.

Multiculturalism Multiculturalism is the ideological ocean that several theorists in the United States concerned with a wide range of issues may eventually have to cross, from immigration policy, conflict resolution, and international law; to archaeological research and educational policy. Multiculturalism gains particular significance in the United States, where even in spite of the multicultural dynamic embedded in certain principles of the American Constitution regarding equality and freedom of speech, in practice there were severe cases of arbitrary discrimination, racism, ethnocentrism, and nativism, all of which are opposed to multiculturalism. Multiculturalism may be diagnosed as a sign of the nation's health, since it may represent the recovery of its founding principles, and with it its hopefully unshakable sense of identity or purpose. webs.csu.edu /~amakedon/articles/mutliculturalism.html   (5408 words)

Multiculturalism, Catholicism, and American Civilization Purposefully, radical multicultural proponents often ignore the simple yet profound fact that it is only in the West, or in societies influenced by the West, that one can find the traditions of self criticism, self-reform, democracy, and freedom which allow for any kind of “debunking” analysis and upon which multiculturalism (theoretically, at least) rests. Radical multiculturalism also entails a great deal of intellectual dishonesty, “politically correct thought,” and a professional breach of ethics in its unworthy politicization of the academy, the university, and of scholarship in general, themes that can be documented in a recent, important analysis by Dinesh D'Souza. Multicultural realism is, perhaps, consistent with the message of one of the documents of Vatican II, the “Declaration on the Relationship of the Church to Non-Christian Religions.” As the document states: “the Catholic Church rejects nothing which is true and holy in these religions. www.catholiceducation.org /articles/multiculturalism/mu0001.html   (2629 words)
