Define “multiculturalism”.
What will be an ideal response?
Multiculturalism is the doctrine that holds that several different cultures (rather than one national culture) can coexist peacefully and equitably in a single country. Aspects of multiculturalism include race/ethnicity, religion, age, gender, sexual orientation (GLBT), language, geographic location, and socioeconomic status (SES). Multicultural counseling refers to a counseling relationship in which a client and therapist are of different ethnicities, cultures, races, and backgrounds. The term multiculturalism is in direct contrast to the term monocultural. Monocultural means having familiarity with only one culture or sharing a common culture to the exclusion of others. Sometimes therapists who are monocultural may apply their culture’s values and norms to all clients, regardless of their cultural backgrounds. Such an approach may lead to misunderstandings in counseling when the client’s and therapist’s cultures are not the same.
