Multiculturalism describes the manner in which a given society deals with cultural diversity. Multiculturalism denotes that how we can respect the different culture and how we can preserve the different culture. The members of this different culture know their right , some does not know how to get right and how we can acknowledge belief and ideas of different culture the people of different culture have to know the people have a right to speak and the people have a right to practice their customs. Different culture can co exist peacefully this is the ultimate goal of multiculturalism.

For example India has a different culture, USA has a different culture, China has a different culture but the one thing is common is that peacefully consistence of the culture. We do not discriminate any people or we will not discriminate any people on the basis of culture. In multiculturalism the individual identity is culturally embedded means the identity of the individual is based on the culture and we have to respect it.

For example In Canada we will find that Canada is a multicultural country and across the globe many people has migrate to the Canada . We will see different culture like Punjabi from Punjab, Marathi from Maharashtra and so on we will see that people has migrated from Asian country to Canada , So Canada has a rich cultural diversity. In India we will find that many people migrate from many country to India for the purpose of work or for the purpose of to doing something in other country.

Multiculturalism is a typically develops according to two theories The melting pot theory or the salad Bowel theory. We can understand this with the help of example we are eating different types of vegetable one by one that is melting pot theory and if we eat different types of vegetable buy a mixing it then it is called a salad bowl theory we will find that the taste of the salad becomes so delicious because of mixing of all the vegetables not the only one. When different culture comes with the one another then it change the scenario.

Multiculturalism can take place on a nation wide scale or within a Nations communities we can understand this by taking example.

1) Indian people migrate to the USA then we will find that the culture migrate itself.

2)In India suppose that one person migrate from north to south and one person migrate from North East to Central part of India then we will find the migration of the culture.
