The largest Japanese community outside of Japan resides in the country of Brazil, a former Portuguese colony. Today, the Japanese-Brazilian families operate schools to continue their cultural traditions. Does this mean that Brazil has a multicultural society?
What will be an ideal response?
A multicultural society is characterized by two or more large racial and ethnic groups as opposed to one dominant racial or ethnic group. Multiculturalism occurs when all ethic groups in an area are roughly equally represented. It means that various ethnic groups can no longer be expected to assimilate into existing national culture. To answer this question, students will need to know that Brazil is a large country and that additional information must be gathered before it can be correctly described as multicultural. Just because it has a significant Japanese population does not mean that it is multicultural. This question is a good way to check if your students really understand this concept.
