Concept of Multiculturalism in Globalisation

Introduction

Globalisation can be defined as the process of integrating diversified ethnicities under a single platform in order to promote social and cultural values for socio-economic development. Over viewing the concept of citizenship within the required subject emphasis on highlighting the key areas such as incorporating transnational's among foreign migrants, promoting educational standards globally to people around the world belonging to variable communities and to promote corporate relations among the giant enterprises around the globe. The question that is focused in our today's discussion is whether multiculturalism failed in countries such as the United Kingdom, France and Germany?

The global perception of generating sufficient economical values and inducing them to business as well as industrial unions for swift production flows requires integrating people belonging to diversified cultural backgrounds and individual expertise in order to improve business standards.

The effects of implementing globalisation concepts within country policies impacts positively on a large scale though there are some areas of concern. The key factor that is focused within our discussion is what role has multiculturalism played in the European sectors and whether they have impacted positively or negatively.

Multiculturalism and Globalisation

“Multiculturalism has, over the years, acquired aspects of a holy cow for many, a cash cow for some. Both are dangerous creatures. Standing on consecrated ground, they resent being disturbed and, when challenged, are inclined to bite. But a society that wishes to remain healthy and to grow must, from time to time, stare the holy cows down; it must probe and question them, and decide on their merits and usefulness.

This has readily affected the people who are in minority in order to avail improved living principles and better educational standards (Marco & Keaton, 2014, p.n.d).

As Ansari (2013) quoted,
