然而,随着目前恐怖主义的抬头,公民和国家认同的相关性下降,以及一些文化习俗有可能违背自由国家的原则,多元文化主义已变得多余。西方自由主义政府逐渐发现,他们无法继续承认和坚持多元文化主义,特别是在要求对少数民族给予特殊待遇、仍然保持所有公民平等的概念上。问题是,为什么在过去20年里,欧洲对多元文化的包容发生了变化?本文针对欧洲自由民族国家多元文化社会实现平等的困境,论证并阐述了西方自由民主国家如何使多元文化主义变得多余,多元文化主义是一个概念,基本上解决了对社会中文化和宗教多样性作出反应的最适当方式。多元文化主义超越了容忍群体差异的简单行为,寻求通过承认群体差异权利,承认并积极包容文化或传统差异,在与多数群体平等的水平上对待少数群体作为公民(Kymlicka,1995)。这些不同群体的权利受到少数群体的拥护,例如,由于其文化或宗教信仰而免于某些规则或法律的人,或在学校或投票程序等公共机构寻求语言便利的人。[2] 土著群体或少数民族也为了自决而寻求群体差别权利。这与民族主义是平行的。
加拿大多伦多政治学作业代写:恐怖主义
However with the current rise in terrorism, decreasing relevance in civic and national identity, and the likelihood of some cultural practices being against the principles of liberal states, multiculturalism has become redundant. Liberal governments of the west are gradually finding themselves unable to keep on recognizing and upholding multiculturalism especially in concepts that call for special treatment for minorities and still retain equality for all citizens. The question is why has accommodation of multiculturalism in Europe changed over the past 20 years? Addressing the dilemma of implementing equality in pluri-cultural societies of liberal nation states of Europe, this paper argues and elaborates how multiculturalism become redundant by the liberal democratic western states.In political philosophy, multiculturalism is a concept that basically addresses the most appropriate way of responding to diversity in culture and religion within the society. Multiculturalism goes beyond the simple act of tolerating group differences and seeks for the treatment of minority groups as citizens on an equal level with the majority group by recognizing and positively accommodating cultural or traditional differences through the recognition of group-differentiated rights (Kymlicka, 1995). These group-differentiated rights are espoused by minority groups for example people who are exempted from certain rules or laws due to their cultural or religious beliefs or those seeking for language accommodations in public institutions like schools or voting procedures. [2] The group-differentiated rights are also sought by indigenous groups or minority nations for the sake of self determination. This is parallel to nationalism.
