Multiculturalism
Multiculturalism is view in which cultural differences should be promoted, accepted encouraged and respected (Clarke 2015). A nation that supports equal and equitable resources to all citizens irrespective of their religious and ethnic groups without showing any favor to certain race promotes the integration of different cultures (Berry 2016). Multiculturalists advocate for freedom, and respect for all people in a country or nation. Making the Canadian Policy of multiculturalism a mandatory requirement in the 21st century has more gains in society than when it is not adopted. Boosters prefer its a requirement because of the positive impact it can have in a country than the negative impact the policy comes with.

The policy was meant to accommodate all races, ethnic and religious groups. The system has worked in Canada, and if it is made a mandatory by many countries, then the social development will be realized. In Canada, people respect each other’s cultural background and accommodate each other irrespective of their community or religion. It is thanks to the adopted policy in Canada that has made them reach this far. Problems have stood out due to the adoption of the system on multiculturalism, but they have not slowed the country’s motivation on promoting the policy on multiculturalism.
The enactment of the Canadian Multiculturalism Act in 1988 laid a foundation to all immigrants and the native Canadians to understand that they are all equal and should treat each other with respect irrespective of their culture, race and also their religious background.
