Briefly discuss pluralism.
What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary. In pluralism, sometimes called multiculturalism, minority groups maintain many aspects of their original culture-including using their own language and marrying within their own racial or ethnic group-while living peacefully with the host culture. Pluralism is especially evident in urban areas with large racial and ethnic communities (e.g., "Little Italy," "Greek Town," "Little Korea," and "Spanish Harlem"). U.S. minorities have numerous ethnic newspapers and radio stations, and the same constitutional rights (such as freedom of speech) as the dominant group. Nonetheless, people of various skin colors and cultures don't always experience the same social standing, and there can be considerable racial-ethnic friction.
