| Research Abstract |
The following is the summary of our research findings under the above-mentioned title:
(1) Multiculturalism in the three countries studied was borne out of social and political necessity in the respective cultures, in the process of establishing national unity.
(2) All the three countries were British colonies, and they inherited democracy and parliament.
(3) The rise of multiculturalism is deeply related with the rise of human rights philosophy and anti-racial movements.
(4) The native peoples in the three countries (the Inuit, Native Americans, and the Aborigines) consider themselves to be the authentic first inhabitants, and are as such against multiculturalism.
(5) Multiculturalism implies a multi-ethnic society, which is composed of native peoples, European: immigrants, non-European immigrants, descendants of slaves, refugees and such variety of peoples, who are not in unison as to the attitudes towards multiculturalism.
(6) Multiculturalism inherently supercedes nation-states, and thus it boils down to the fact that the two ideas are incompatible with each other.
(7) Globalization is represented by internationalization of English and the spread of IT revolution lead by the US, and thus it serves as a powerful assimilation force towards the minority groups.
(8) Even if multiculturalism attains its goal to some extent, problems such as different treatment of gender in different cultures, and the treatment of Muslims within a predominantly Christian culture will remain being problems.
