Document Summary
Immigration is movement of people from one place to another. Multicultural is a way migrants is incorporated into their new country. Critics of multiculturalism threatens identity and encourages segregation, parallel of groups, promotes ghettoization and balkanization (kymlicka 2008: 7) Critics: are attacking multiculturalism as it would be if that term meant anything corresponding to what a reasonable person could imagine it mean. Multiculturalism has nothing to do with multiculturalism in other way other than canadians. Immigrants are more successfully economically in canada than in us. Multiculturalism as a sociological fact vs multiculturalism as a policy. Multiculturalism as a social fact country in which people come from everywhere. Thin vs thick integration, thin multi says when the immigrants are entirely free to attain their culture that is consistent with the prevailing norm of the new society (guaranteed by liberalism) Thick multi where there is a conflict in prevailing norms and the culture, your culture triumphs.
