Explain the concept of the cosmopolitan canopy and provide two examples of this concept.
What will be an ideal response?
• Under the cosmopolitan canopy, city dwellers learn new ways of interacting with people they do not know who are visibly different from their own group. They become more comfortable with diversity and discover new ways that people express themselves in public. These experiences may lead people to question and modify their negative presuppositions about others. It is through such ongoing activity, the goings-on of everyday life in public, that the canopy renews itself.
