i fink dat multi blahblah blah is a good fing cuz den ofa people who alredy live in britain can learn new languages 4rom dem and dey can learn bowt der culture.safe den people. haleluiah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi,
I do not think multiculturalism is a good thing as some people do not like to mix with those of different races. I for one have seen some people say racist comments and it hurts me as well as others. I have a friend who is Bengali and Ive seen her being picked on day in day out by a boy in my class just because she's Bengali. I barely have a chance to stick up for her as everybody (all the boys) join in. And there are many racist people in this world, ever heard of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK)? They were a racist organization who tried their hardest to make the lives of black people a living hell. They even ran over Martin Luther King (I think).
On the other hand, multiculturalism may be good, as people will get to meet new people and develop social skills, learn new stuff and live a different lifestyle. In my primary school I had a lot of Pakistani friends but only one Christian friend, she was black and she was the only Christian in the class so I did not learn of how to develop social skills of others apart from Pakistanis, until I came to Saltley School. Now I know a lot of white and black people and have learnt a lot more about their lifestyles. Also is there another way of saying 'black' as I don't like that word because it sounds racist?
I come to a conclusion that: No, multiculturalism for me is a bad idea. You don't even know who's who and you could even end up risking your life..... Better safe than sorry I say. There's a big world out there, you have all the time in the world to meet new people. Changing where you live and what you do will not make that process any faster.
Thanks for reading.

Heyy xx Well all I want to say is that when ever someone utters the word culture the first two words that come in to my mind are social behaviour.Culture is not confined to a specific trait. Culture has a very deep impact on us in a direct or indirect way. Wherever we live, whether it is out native town or not, we acquire things from that place with th passage of time. obviously, it has a great effect on our lives in terms of religion, language, dress, lifestyle and everything you can relate with people! A number of cultures would be a good thing because diversity drives innovation(a way of doing something) and it also helps different people understand and interpret different people's value systems and ways of living. This changes their attitude towards the people and helps everyone live in unity. As Roland Harwood said, Different cultures should be encouraged, but you have to
engineer and successfully manage the clash of cultures and the creative sparks that result from it.” What he means by this is that if we put several different minds together, from different ethnicites, then we cane go very far in terms of research etc. I am continuing this topic so dont just comment on this blog please xx
From my last blog, the bad or negative aspects of having different cultures are that some people may not want "foregners" invading their country and want toi be self-independant. They may want to be isolated from these immigrants and in order for this they may want to get rid of them using various ways - some even brutal. Examples are:
1.Personal attacks of any kind, including violence
2.Written or verbal threats or insults
3.Damage to property, including graffiti
It is like when you are in the dark, with loniliness engulfing you, you want it to go away, you are scared. You try your best to avoid it. Same with racism, its FEAR for many.Some foolish people who belong to one religion may bring their religion down by giving that religion and people belonging to that religion a bad reputation e.g. when people think of Muslims then its terrorists, when it is Black Carribeans etc. then it is theives. Some people can be very stereotypical and judge people by how they look ( Dont judge a book by its cover). This can lead to harrassment to people, anxiety, threatening and much more.
People would want to leave which would gve the whole country a name - RACIST. It can be very bad and we need to stop it. This is carried on in the next blog xx
Hey agen xx
Having lots of different cultures, religions and styles has made Britain a country which is very mixed.
This mix of cultures and styles has influenced music, art, dance writing and sport.
Over two-thirds of independently-owned local shops belong to people whose families are from another country.
About 23% of Britain's doctors and 24% of restaurant employees were born in other countries.
Curries and Chinese takeaways are as popular as fish and chips.
Sol Campbell, Nasser Hussain and Audley Harrison rank among Britain's best sports stars. I think judging by all the negative and positive aspects of cultures, having different cultures can benefit us dearly. We can have a taste of Pakistan, India, Italy, Russia, Bangladesh etc all in one. We have to adapt to our lifestyle and to the people around us: Rap music originally came from African styles of music.
Hip hop and R'n'B are some of the most popular types of music amongst young people.
High street shops sell bindis - Indian jewels worn on the skin.
Schools have to make sure they let children with different religious and cultural beliefs where school uniform which fits with their beliefs. Many people who are in other countries come to these countries because - there country was an LEDC and this is an MEDC, there are violent wars taking place,or they were invited here by the governement. Some people may not even want to come here because they have adapted to their lifestyle in that particular country and they may be afraid they may lose their mothertongue and their traditions. For the conclusion next blogg xxx
Heyyyxx
Dnt wrry im not gnna write another essay!
Aisha wow! Cool wirtin and I agree with you lool xx
You have a clear opinion and I have learnt a lot from it!
CONCLUSION:
Finally after all this, I conlude that the language we speak, the wors come from different cultures, if we can share the words, then why cant we share the people?
We all have equal human rights so we should have no racism!The people who think and say prejudiced comments should just realize that we should all get along and be happy that we are diverse, we cant eradicate all the coloured people so we have to get used to it!Violence is not restricted to times of war; it exists everywhere: in homes, schools and communities. Where there is injustice, there is conflict. But to argue in my case : how can you say, "All men are created equal", and brutalize African slaves? How can you claim that you stand for equality when you treat the Native Americans worse than animals and systematically exterminate them? We just have to learn to get along and live happy and SAFE lives. Prejudice of any kind is often based on ignorance and fear of anything unfamiliar.In my view three things that an Enlightened Society must love and cherish are: Knowledge, Wisdom and TruthIf you have any anger bottled up inside you then tell someone! A multicultural society=a group of different ideas and traditions + a united world! Over time, nonviolent conflicts can erupt into direct force if a reasonable compromise is not reached. Everyone should think optimisticly and come up with a reasonable solution to this.Consequently, should you wish to find out more information go to :

Well...I think that its a good thingg cuzz...it lets ppl mix and get to know otha cultures...n learn oda languages...Hello Mr Bean :D
Hi,
Wow Saira, you sure must love these blogs. And Hannan, nice point of view and you've literally got me in hysterics! Typical Hannan! Anyway back to topic, Yes Saira I do agree that the majority of shops have cultural purposes, for example if you were to go somewhere like Nandos, they have Mexican dishes, and if you were to go somewhere like a pub, you wouldn't see curry's being served there.
And yes it has caused violence, young youths mix in with the wrong kinds of people and then before you know it, a life has been taken.
I would have wrote a lot more but Eastenders is about to come on, although I will be coming back and replying.
Hannan: be more specific and explore the aspects of culture that people could learn from. Are there any aspects of culture that we might not learn from?
Aisha: a good effort and a clear attempt to balance your argument. If you are unsure of facts then check them!!! Also try to pick out the different ways in which multiculturalism may benefit people. Use the BBC news archive to look at other people's views on the topic.
Saira: excellent research but try to avoid simply copying and pasting. An interesting quote but what does it actually mean - develop this further. What obstacles are there to cooperation? Level 5b
Saira: Level 6b - some excellent evidence clearly put. Avoid copying chunks of text and remember that a conlusion is a summary and includes one piece of key evidence.
Aisha: Nandos is Portugese.
Hi,
Nice to see that you've posted a comment Naomi.
If there is a such thing as human rights, why isn't it being shown?
Many people, most of which are kids have been suffering from such bad stuff such as neglect, domestic violence, cyber bullying etc. Where is the humanity in this? Its even worse for people who have come from different countries as they have to suffer from violent as well as racial abuse. They don't know how England works and how people are like in England. I think the government should set up a scheme which allows immigrants to go to a specialist school/college and learn English and what being British involves. Once again, Saira a nice point of view.
Hello!
My opinion is dat multiculturalism is a ggod thing and a bad thing.It is a good thing because when people come 4rm other countries they bring things with them that we can benefit from so things like their culture can make businesses and shops and restaurants that create profit and other things like languages so something that we can learn from them. It can be a bad thing because some people do not like to mix with people of other races and hate the fact that Britain invites people to come because they feel that those people take all the jobs and they feel that they get given money when people already living in Britain with problems don't. A good example of this opinion is in the movie called 'This Is England.' I personally think it is a good thing as those people just want to earn money so we can get the jobs that people in Britain hate for cheap.
Aisha: you raise some excellent points that demonstrates a clear understanding of the issues. For the next blog I would like you to bullet point your arguments. Try to pick out 3 big points as a minimum. You are aiming for a L6.
Tirhas: an excellent effort. You really didn't need to copy and paste large chunks of this. Your blog is at its best when you are talking! For the next blog try to focus on one issue rather than trying to look at different aspects. I like the argument that multiculturalism doesn't actually exist. Look at this further. L6c
Aisha P: Try to explain how human rights are involved here. Also what would /britishness lessons look like? Are these dangerous?
Hey xx
Tirhas your comment is so cool. I totally agree wiv ya! And Aisha thanks I respect ur comment 2!Eloor xx
I want to expand on my comments before even though I have written a lot!!
Well in MY opinion I fink dat multiculturasim shouldn't even exist! Dis is bcuz Britain is linked to Europe and the rest of the World by a Global Economy and political alliances as we have a government and a Queen who is our figurehead. It is essential 2 keep in contact wiv ova countries bcuz it will help us have debates and come up with appropriate dicisions of how to improve our world and make it a better pleace for all of us thru education, communications and actions. We can all be unprejudiced, have a better attitude towards people, share our ideas and expand them, and react with things better. On the BBC news a reprter and claimed:""Who are we British? For a long time the UK has been a multicultural state composed of England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales, and also a multicultural society... made up of a diverse range of cultures and identities, and one that emphasises the need for a continuous process of mutual engagement and learning about each other with respect, understanding and tolerance." This is one persons opinion but other people may disagree and say we all be,ong to our own variety of colonies and just stay isolated from other ethnicities. This is my view is completely wrong! We shud all b co-oerative and spread ur cultures diversely. A good thing is that most democracies respect human rights and respect that we are eaqual and were made alike in terms of physical and mental features. In our attitude we are different!People do not want to spread out because they are too much in their comfort zone in the area they are living in (especially Asians in Brum) therefore we need to adapt to various lifestyles! If we have all the same cultures everywhere then there woud be no disparity and it wud be lyk only Arsenal and Chelsea as futbol teams which wud be very boring and uninteresting!
DO YOU WANT EVERYONE TO SPREAD OUT?
DO YOU WANT US ALL TO CO-OPERATE?
DO YOU WANT A VARIETY OF CULTURES?
Then please keep a positive attitude towards ova ppl and remember, we r all equal!
MAKE OUR WORLD A BEACON OF HOPE !!
Thanks, Saira
Hiya
My opinion on weather multiculturism is beneficial for our society to that it is because it brings up a united world and an enlightened society.
This is because if we all co-operate and spread out it can cause people to have different attitudes towards different people of different race. we all have equal human rights so we should stick to them and not be ignorant we should have none violent conflicts and make reasonable choices for our lifestyle to conclude this in my view we cannot get rid of the different coloured people so we should get used too them and be more sociable: for more information go to: www.everyculture.com

on da other hand der is racism wich is really nasty it is a really horrible fing 2 do but i gues pepl only do it cause dey cant adjust 2 other pepl who r difrnt frm dem dey cant fit in dats why dey decide 2 be racist.
some of us cant adjust 2 difrnt cultres and pepl difrnt frm us but some can nd da 1s dat can. 2 me multuculturalism is a really good fing it helps us lrn new langages nd lets us taste other foods or in mr farmers case difrnt beer.
so my conclusion is multiculturalism is a really good fing 4 some and 4 some dey just cant fit in so dey be racist but even though i fink it is wonderful to be parts of difrnt cultures.
hi,
i fink muliticultralism is good thing because you can get 2 know people frm other races and other religions.you can also learn things bout thier culture and you can learn new languages.you can start 2 get on with people frm diffrent religions and places

Zaira: some good points but you need to develop them further. Why is it so important to learn about other cultures?
Iqra: some excellent points. Why is it so important to learn about different cultures? How do they affect our lives? Why does racism exist when there is multiculturalism. Add your answers to your blog. L4a
Tirhas: an excellent point! So is Britishness multiculturalism and mulgticulturalism Britishness? Is it just one big culture?
Mariam: how could we embrace multiculturalism? How can we celebrate it? What is Britishness?
Hi ! Mariam I agree wiv ur comment and Taz cool comment. Also to expand on Tirhas's point of multiculturaism I think that where there are areas with a profuse amount of one ethnicity, is that multiculturism? NO! If there are people in one city, even country then that is a culture. We are all one society and one big culture. Our whole world is a culture! Multiculturism just devides us up. We are one huge community, and one huge culture.
hi
i fink dat multiculturalism is a good fing cuz den u can learn a lot frm diffrent ppl an there religon also there culture & race . a number of cultures can b a bad fing cuz ppl can b Racist 2 ppl of other cultures.
warMulticulturalism is a good thing and a bad thing, it is a good thing because people get to try out food and drinks that come from all over the world, get to know about how people all over the world, ,how they live there life and what they celebrate. It is also a bad thing because people don’t like people because they are different they believe in different things speak a different language, also it courses raciest behaviour and people to fight.
hi
i fink dat it is important 2 ave multiculturalism cause it stops silly little conflictsnd we lrn 2 work wiv pepl who ave difrnt attidudes nd difrnt ideas,cultures it hlps us ave a wide imagination nd a wide mind wen working we develope those ideas nd it makes fings easier 4 us.
i fink der is racism cause sme pepl jst can't adjust 2 other pepl dey find it ard nd so dey make fun of dem instead nd dey don't know dat it urts dem dey fnd it all a joke it is sad really well dats wat i fink anyways dey just can't fit in of be friendly wiv dem dey also r juust tryin to be cool where as dey r definetly not!!!!
Wujiya: some good points however you need to expand your ideas further: what are the obstacles in having a multiculturism society?
How can multiculturism benefit us?
Haleema: very good and I understand what you are trying to say. Also, try to give examples to your comment followed by some evidence to raise your level. A level 4b.
Madhia: very good however please develop your ideas. In order to do this give quotes or clear examples for your opinions followed by evidence as this increases your knowledge of this topic.
Tirhas: a philosophical view followed by some clear examples. Try and make your points clearer. How can we change how people feel towards others? How can we maintain Britishness?
Saira, excellent comments and you have some clear points followed by some clear examples. Try and make your opinions compressed in order to form clear and concise views.
Mariam, very good however you need to collect a few clear examples, explain them and collect a few clear evidence to back upyour opinion.
wah gwarrn pplsszz
rarr entt been up orn diss ting 4 tym stylll but frt id drop byy ya getsszz mee newaiisszz
personally i tink dhaat multiculturalism (looong word innit )
is a gud ting becah u can relate tu breh differrnt people. it shouldnt matter who we are (within reason i mean if ur sum terrorist dheen bwoiii u got problemssz) like so what if we have irish socttish jamaican spanish in us. i think its a good thing cause you get to experience different life styles and cultures and how different people live.
but at the same time you cane put people in stero types like oh hes black hes a thug or he smokes weed or hes not gonna du well in life or he walks this way or hes scottosh he must be ginger and wear a kilt NAH BLUDDD IT DNT WORK DHAT WAII cah it dont matter
culture has a very big impact on us and who we are - what we eat how we dress life style and other tingsz
we are who we are and should be respected and accepted for that {even though it dnt work like that )
i think that multi blah de blah ( cnt be arsed to write de whole word owt )
can have a positive effect on people yew can mix and get tu about them and it improves your social skills dis world is a big placee mayyne
you cant just stick to 1 group of people cah u will b a lonley perosn
diss world is a cold place wit orr a gun n knife crime n oda tingssz like we need to improve it we can stop da rasism n ova tongdssz mann cah if u ent gt ne fink guurd to saii dhen dnt saii ne fink at all innit.
but sum wun hu mty dissagree mite saii dhat sum ppl dnt wanna mix wif oda races cahh dey scared of meetin new ppl n dhatits bad cause u shuld stick to 1 culture and follow it i dno rele
but i suppose its hard 4 us yutess cahh we jus findin our selfss n dhaa but styl i rele cannot be arsed tu write new mure imaa owtttt
sirr hollaaa bk soo i can raise ma level yehhh
(COMM3NT BKKK YEHHHH )
Iqra: a very interesting point and I understand what you are trying to say. To get some further ideas read some other blogs to give you ideas and expand on them such as Saira's or Tirhas's.
~~~~~~hey ppl!.......
i think being multicultural is a good thing cause u get to mix in wid ppl with different cultures and learn new skills and things. However living in a multicultural area can totally influence the way u live behave and act on a daily basis.
e.g if anyone’s seen da film TWINS deyll no wat im talkin bout cause in dat film one twin(arnold schwarznegger) is brought up on an island wid only one person and he learns to hunt his own food and dosent have much ppl to socailize wid e.t.c
howeva da oda twin (danny DeVito)is brought up normally like us .and wen dey meet arnold is really weird because of da way he lived and done things.
IM JUS TRYIN 2 PROVE A POINT dat if u lived in a multicultural area or where dere was only certain ppl like Whiite ppl or pakistani e.t.c. you might learn to behave like dem ,diffrently.And dis is like affecting ur life dramatically not in a bad way but its diffrent. some ppl might not wanna change cause of where dey live but some might but im jus tryin to say it has a BIG Impact on ur life.
in my opinion i think its probably a good thing cause if u live a area wid ppl da same culture it would get borin.
however if u have ppl with diffrent cutltures dey might think u a bit weird or be racist.
so over all im in between of for and against
c ya
Please keep the comments coming.
Letitia: very good and you have some excellent examples listed.
How can we stop people from being racist? A level 5a.
Mazza-include your name please!
Anyways I would like to say that you have developed and expanded your ideas. Try and use statistical data to back up your opinion.
Hiii xx
I would like to say that multiculturalism is a very complicated concept and it can have loads of questions, opinions to it. Multiculturism doesnt bind us, but parts us. It devides us, makes us unequal. WE ARE ONE CULTURE. We are one group of people. We are together so we are not different people. The government talk about equality but then they talk about a variety of rules and traditions! Yes it gives a different attitude, but then it does devide us too!
Thanks , Biiii :)
Hi
i totally agree wif wht uv said so far saira you've made very good points i tottaly agree nd whn u say dat pepl r steryotypecal nd whn dey see or hear da wrd asians or black carrabians sme pepl do tend 2 get dis look on ther face dat srt of says were better dan dem dis gets me angry cause sme pepl fink ther race is betta dan da otha races in dis world. even though asians nd black carrabiands ave been in the sme country as otha races for ages. but just cause sme terrorists decded 2 be idiots dey look at all asians as terrorists.sme wif black carribians just cause sme r bad dey all get da bad name!!!!!
i dnt undastnd why???
!d!l !$m@!l 8m: i fink da u shoud respect otha culturals cuz itz important 2 know da sum ppl live a different life style 'n' celebrate ova finks 2 u 'n' may 'ave a different laungage or releion 2 u .cuz britain iz a multi blah blah kingdom itz xtra important dah u respect ova ppls lyfstyled cuz i'm sure dah britain would be a very sad 'n' unhappy place
Multiculturalism is the practice of acknowledging and respecting the various cultures, religions, races, ethnicities, attitudes and opinions within environment.I fink dat multiculturalism is a gd n bad.
Da negative fin iz dat der will be loadz of raizm jn fights btwen ppl in da area
Some ppl fin it wuld jus b beta if all da muzlims stayed in 1 plac n all da Christian in anva.
So der won’t be na fightin n stuff.
Da gd fin iz dat ppl will hopfull learn bout ova’s religion n wat dey do in der religion
It wuld b gd if ppl didn’t b racist n stuff
To understand multiculturalism is to appreciate that it means many different things.
Multiculturalism basically means that no culture is perfect or represents the best life and that it can therefore benefit from a critical dialogue with other cultures.

hi, in ma opinion i tink multicultral societies are a great ting. dis is becuz by havin more muticultral areas in da world
every1 gets 2 know each other and other people diffrent from demselves. when cultures mix u get to know somfink new bout da ova cultures e.g. languages, race, religion, faith, what tings dey do different to u.
i also tink dat we shud have more multicultralism in da uk for our own benefits. by havin muticultralism societies in da uk we can help make da people who dont believe in muticultralism or da people hu r racist tink that every1 is equal. if dis hopefully hapens den we will av better mixed cultured societies in da uk . if da uk start havin muticultalism areas den maybe ova countries wil start doin da same n da world will slowly increase in muticultralism societies.
on the ova hand der is bout 20% dat muticultralism cud be a bad ting. it cud be a bad ting cuz der are people in da world dat dont apreciate dat der are ova people in da diferent 2 dem, dey tink its a bad ting. wen people tink lyk dis dey becum racist n dey start 2 go against muticultralism, which from my point of view is a bad ting.
overall to conclude everyting i've written above i wud say dat havin multicultrralism in da world is a very good ting. it wud benefit yourself n ovas to participate in bein good citizens for your own country. tnk u!

i think its a great thing cuz u get to learn new things, new life styles and how they deal wiv problems and something from another culture might even help u in life sometimes
i think that multiculturalism is a good thing because we get to know there race and religion even though some people disagree with what i think. i think it is an good thing we get to learn more about cultures because there are different people to us and that is why we should get to know more about other peoples religion in a bit
multiculurism is a gud thing cuz its helps us undastnd different people and their cultures plus it also allows us 2 develop respect 4 other people's religion's and lifestyles.When most people come ova from other countries they bring different things and words.Tht is how the english language was developed by every country and group of settlers adding words 2 the language this prove's tht multiculturism was a gud thing in the past 4 the development of england and cud b vital 4 the future.
HI.
I THINK MULTICULTRALISM IS A GOOD THING BECAUSE WEN U SEE DIFFERENT PEOPLE WHO R A DIFFEREMT CULTURE 2 U, U CAN LERN A LOT OF THINGS FRM THEM, THE OVIUS 1 WICH IS THERE LANGUAGE. ALSO ANOTHER THING Y I THINK MULTICULTRALISAM IS A GOOD THING IS BECAUSE IF WE JUST HAD CHRISITIANS IN BRITIAN LIFE WUD GET SOOO BORRING!!! AND WID LOTS OF DIFFERENT CULTURES U DONT GET BORED AND THATS THE GOOD THING ABOUT MULTICULTRALISM.
HOWEVER, MULTICULTRALISM CAN CAUSE A LOT OF ARGUMENTS BETWEEN PEOPLE, BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE ARE RASCIST AND CALL PEOPLE RUDE WORDS. ALSO I THINK MULTICULTRALISM CAN CAUSE GRIEF BECAUSE PEOPLE STEEL THINGS FROM PEOPLEZ HOUSES THOSE PEOPLE MOSTLY ARE ASYLAM SEEKERS, THEY COME FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD.
ALSO SOME PEOPLE ARE SELFISH AND DO NOT WONT OTHER PEOPLE LIKE SOMALIANS TO COME TO OUR COUNTRY AND WATS WRONG WITH SOMALIANS? AS FAR AS I NO SOMALIANS DO NO HAARM! I GOT A FREND WHO IS SOMALIAN AND HE IS A SAFE!!

Fazeela: very good but try and avoid copying and pasting as I want to hear from YOU. Also, use some examples and evidence to back your view point up.
Letitia: excellent views, well done! You have explored the aspects of racism well. A level 6c. Try and use examploes and evidence to back up your opinion.
Zishan: A level 3a. You have only made a brief statement with no proper reason or any examles.Why do people discriminate? How can we encourage multiculturism?
Iqra: some people just go with the crowd and sometimes people just set a bad repuation for their religion which affects everyone. The media plays a big part on that too, they influence the viewrs greatly.
i think multicultalism is a bad thing becuz if they strt speakin 2 learn english they will 4get there original language and and it will be bad for them

HEY>.......
i fink tat multiculturism is a good fin n a bad fin. the melting pot has a lot 2 do wiv it
People try to argue that the United States is a melting pot of all cultures, but I do not believe that this is really true. In some ways we were a melting pot, but mostly of European nations that were more similar than not. It's not like our society was based on a mix of European, Asian, and African cultures, for instance. Before someone tries to bring up blacks, their culture is based off of a European culture rather than an African one, since they were forced to adopt a new culture. So in reality, the bulk of our culture really isn't multicultural really.
Another issue is that too many people often confuse culture and race. For instance, why is it that people who are against illegal immigration viewed as racists (political tool, I believe)? Obviously, someone who hates Latinos for racial reasons would be for border security, but that isn't necessarily the case. Why is it wrong to not want the U.S. to be flooded by people who bring a foreign culture?
People try to say multiculturalism is this great thing, but is it really? Doesn't it cause more division than unity?
but ova awl SUMMARY
well it is a good thing cause u get to learn new things like speak learn different languages, (LIKE GERMAN) taste different food. n thi best thin RESPECT OTHER PPLS RELIGIONS< CULTURES< BACKGROUNDS n to develop social skills. treat others how u wanna be treated.
tis a bad fin cause .....
sum ppl r racist n especially when u live in areas where there only is a rare amount of ur culture, otha ppl don’t know u, n they can get a bit harsh on u n u wont like it so sum ppl dont like multiculturism.
i personally fink tat it can be both good n bad
we have to face it sometimes the world is made up of lots of different cultures.
reply back if possible
multiculurism is a gud thing cuz its helps us undastnd different people and their cultures plus it also allows us 2 develop respect 4 other people's religion's and lifestyles.When most people come ova from other countries they bring different things and words.Tht is how the english language was developed by every country and group of settlers adding words 2 the language this prove's tht multiculturism was a gud thing in the past 4 the development of england and cud b vital 4 the future. New people equals new things which good makes our country better and change things and develop.
Peace out

zakir:good try but i would like you to see the different aspects of multiculturalism.
ruksana:good comment i want you to look further on why multiculturalism is a bad thing.
naila:good comment but there was no need to copy and paste informatiom it's better to type like your talking i would now like you to look at others comments and reply to them.
ibz:good effort put into this comment i would like you to consider the other prespective of multiculturalsm so now you have to talk about why it's a bad thing.
Hi
I fink that multi... is a good thing beacause if the world was all the same the world would be a very boring place and we wouldnt be able to learn from people have a new life and be proud of bein difrent.I used to live in sweden and the swedish people didnt like muslim people and thought whoever wears a scarf or has a big beard must be a terrorist and i used to wear a scarf and people thought that i was a nasty little child and after a while they started to know me more thought that i was alright.
so as many people say dont judge a book by its cover have a look and read it it is as same as people dont judge people on their identity background or where there from or how they look like get to know them and give them a chance you might evenneed people from around the world to help you with something like doctors and nurses from thailand or something so my point is that mult.... is a good thing cos u might not know that pepz from around the world is a good need and if it wasnt for diffrent cultures the world would be
BOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!
hi again
the other thing i think is good about mult... is that in america there is alot of diffrent cultures and diffrent people living like:
little italy
jamaica etc(cant be bothered to write the rest lol)
and they live in communities and named them communities them self and live in peace and harmony
see ya later pepz!
khadra:excellent comment i like the way you used your own experience now i want you to talk about the bad things about multiculturalism
hi
well i fink dah it is a gd thing 2 hve multiculturalism czz its nyc 2 hve diff people 4rm diff backgrnds cz den evry1 is different nt all dah sme nd yu learn new things 4rm different bckgrounds.
Bloggers, remember that you have to create a balnaced argument and use resources such as books, internet etc as this will benefit your opinion and raise your level.
i think multiculture is a good think cuz ppl get to know different traditionz n wayz of life and religions its very important to respect each others backround and cultures
also it bad sometimes cuz it can hurt ppls feelings eg rasicm
tc....x reply
Hi
The bad thing about multi... is that people come from diffrent places and make a small communitie and people from the other communitue dont like the people from the othercomm... and so an arguement starts and maybe a war .pEOPLE CAN SAY RACIST STUFF TO PEPZ AND THEY GET HURT.People from other places around the world just stick around were the kind of the same people like them live in are scared.The bad thing about it aswell is that people who want to visit USA must do test and look at your criminal records and stuff like that and if they dont think youre good enough they send you back and muslim people for example , women who were a scarf that hides your face might be sent to the prison for terrorists wich is a terrible place i dont qite remember the name anyway peole get send there for nooo reason.thete was a man that got shot by a police for notin just cos they taught he was a terrrorist they might have heard from somewhere or something.So you shouldnt just judge people on hoew they look or the way they speak , their family background just give people a chance for godness sake.
Thanks for readind and thanks sir for the comment:)
in some ways i think that multiculturism is a good thing and in some other ways i think that it can cause problems.it is good in such a way as that people from say an english backround can learn about new people for instance when black people and muslims,or any one else,they can teach them all about their backrounds weather that being what food they eat or what language they speak or what clothes they wear!!!!
on the other hand it can also cause alot of social problems this can include racism and/or physical violence.i dont no what people get out of being racist weather tehy find it funny or what ever but if they do find it funny and get a kick out of it then they are quite sick in the head!!!!
but if i had to make a final opinion i think that i would that it is a bad thing.i would say this because if you think about it most of the problems in the world revolve around racism which revomves around multiculturism so i say it's bad.
but i also think that us as people don't help racism because we are the ones causing it not the people that come and live in the country!!!!
bye!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Khadra- a very good try now try and expand on other views!
Jessica- good views now use some evidence to back up your views.
I believe that multiculturalism is a combination of both strengths and weaknesses. Some of the strengths include:
-Acceptance of other cultures, religions and ethnic groups.
-Knowlegde of various religions
-The ability to socialise and communicate with people other than your own religion/culture
-Celebrate a variety of cultural festivals e.g. Eid, Diwali, Christmas and Easter etc.
However, multiculturalism has its weaknesses as well,these include:
-Clear divisions amongst different ethnic groups can result in racial tension.
-Extremists within their own religion may not like the idea of different cultures combining and communicating.
-Also some people encourage division; if this is the case, and attempts are made to communicate with an individual of another culture, racist comments can be passed.
However, in my opinion these weaknesses should not prevent us form socialising with people of different cultures,religions, gender and age.
Thankyou. xxx
Sidra- very good. How can asylum seekers get affected?
How are stereotypical views affected?
well i think dat multiculturismis a gud thing cuz if ya tink aboutit yh u wouldnt be ale to get on in lyf if uslot culdnt handle people with different race, religion or hobbys but now we can becuz in most of dez areas there are all mix people wiv diferennt race or religion.
however on da oda hand multiculturism can cause a load of problems such as racism, bullying, wars, vvilonce, haterd and etc...
buty if we can copewiv all of is livin in a mix society then everyfin will gio fine
l8rz sir
hit bak!!!
i think multiculralism is a good thing because people can mix with others and lean more about there culture. When you mix with others you pick up a bit of there languages and help celebrate there partys.when you mix with people and you live in Britain you can help them speak English.
Usman- a good view however you need to expand on this with some more detail.

i think multicultralism is good becuz you get 2 lern about other ppl and lrn diffrent languages pluss if there wasnt a multiclralism place it will be all over crowded in one place.u can socialize with ppl if i wernt in this countrey then i wouldnt have known what football was and english and i wouldnt be eating chips or other food that come frm england!
