  Multiethnic society - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Multiethnic societies, in contrast to monoethnic societies, integrate different ethnic groups irrespective of differences in culture, race, and history under a common social identity larger than one "nation" in the conventional sense.
Multiethnic societies have existed in various historical contexts such as ancient China, the Roman Empire, or the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
The ultimate step in multiethnic integration is the U.N., whose goal is to ensure the peaceful coexistence of as many different countries or ethnic groups as possible.

 The Implementation of the Multiethnic Placement Act of 1994 and the Interethnic Placement Provisions of 1996
The Multiethnic Placement Act, along with the 1996 Interethnic Placement provisions, the Court Improvement Program, and the Adoption and Safe Families Act of 1997, have all made significant contributions to strengthening the child welfare system of this country.
When the Multiethnic Placement Act was enacted, we found 29 States and the District of Columbia had laws or policies that allowed race-based discrimination in foster care and adoption placements.
This guidance clarified the changes made to the Multiethnic Placement Act (including the elimination of language in the original statute that made the racial or ethnic background of the child a "permissible consideration" in determining the best interests of the child).

 'Slow is fast' When it Comes to Multiethnic States Transitioning to Democracy, Says International Journalist ...
Multiethnic states, whether they are empires of diverse nationalities like the former Soviet Union, former colonies like Nigeria and Indonesia, or conglomerations of native and immigrant peoples like Canada and Brazil, share a history of ethnic and political tension that sometimes threatens to spiral out of control.
I think when we use the term multiethnic states, what we're really talking about are multiethnic states in a third world or underdeveloped, weakly governed environment.
Or, a multiethnic state that's been governed by some autocratic ruler and is in process of change away from autocracy.

 articles : Multiethnic and Urban Influence on Today's Youth Culture : Youth Specialties
Some Barbie doll commercials feature multiethnic groups of girls basically saying to the little girls watching, "Everyone has a Barbie, what’s wrong with you?" Gap commercials display multiethnic groups dancing, singing, and skating together, all in Gap jeans, pointing to the new multicultural denim revolution.
Though kids today are being influenced by a fl, hip-hop, multiethnic, and urban world, they too often walk into homogenous youth groups that are led by leaders who, in general, don’t seem to be paying attention to the coming multicultural youth revolution and the influence it’s already having on their students.
None of the youth ministry leaders and so-called experts seem to want to deal with why the pain, hopelessness, and anger of the urban youth are now reflected in the rural and suburban areas through school shootings all across the country.

Most of the inquiries I receive from parents of young multiracial and multiethnic children concern the insensitivity of schools and early childhood programs to their family's unique needs and struggles and the lack of information these institutions have regarding their families.
This includes changing a society fixated on a single-race approach for categorizing its population, and requires supporting the empowerment of multiethnic and multiracial families to raise their children as they choose.
Multiracial and multiethnic children deserve our support in challenging a society that doesn't understand them and in many cases does not accept their parents' relationship.

Today, however, with hopes for stabilizing the Lebanese-Israeli border at least partly dependent on the army's ability to act as a national, rather than tribal force, issues of ethnic superiority warrant new examination.
As with recent efforts to build national armies in multiethnic Afghanistan and Iraq, the effort is fraught with difficulty.

Through historical overviews and textual analyses, the contributors not only argue for the aesthetic validity of multiethnic literature, but also examine the innovative ways in which multiethnic literature is taught and critiqued.
