Multiculturalism

The Canadian politics has sought to have multi heathenism evolve in the Canadian connection so as to seal the heathen loopholes which ace to racial and hearty injustices ground on race, caste and various backgrounds. The policies are meant to undo all aspects of discriminatory perceptions in the Canadian diverse community. The advantage of multiculturalism is limited. still it is a challenge to the history of neighborly cohesion.Cohesion is what furbish ups various cultural backgrounds harmonize their socio-economic interests. In her purge to identify social discontentment within various cultures in Canada Nakhaie (2006) explains social injustices through discriminative aspects of the Canadian professionals and otherwise(a) s repleteholders of the Canadian authority. Socio-economic difference limns ethno-racial minorities have better qualifications but dont have confidence in their identity as successful Canadians (pg, 150). gibe to Patricia Roy (1995) the intenti ons of multiculturalism were basically to break d cause discriminatory attitudes and cultural jealousies. She quotes the a Canadian prime minister and hypothesises National unity in the deeply own(prenominal) sense must be founded on confidence in ones own individual identity come out of the closet of this can grow respect for that of others (pg, 201) However the essence of multiculturalism lacks virtue leading the Canadian parliamentary procedure to a society of un- reach minority ethnic communities. Patricia seeks to create the picture of increasing racism in Canada.The three pillars on which multiculturalism is built do not really pay multiculturalism whatsoever autonomy. It rather creates radical rationales within the diverse ethnic cultures in Canada. Racial identity leads to inequality in the social classes, work and tramp and income classification leading to disintegration of social justice and equity (150). Nakhaie draws a picture wherein there is no cohesion but va rious segments of dis-satisfied multicultural society. Immigrants have poor jobs and poor pay while certain ethnic and social groups enjoy employment and connections within political and social circles.She points out factors leading to this imbalance of social equity as time of immigration, race, achievement of immigration and language. The consequence of this diversity and complexity in advocacy of multiculturalism is engraft in principals of institutions like the civil service and the civil society as well as other vital institutions. Through them, confidence in the principals of multiculturalism might be augmented in the people however, there seems to be an ideological dilemma in trusting the principals in the immigrants.The Canadian politics consumes to be more versatile in making these institutions of giving medication compliant to the principals of multiculturalism through embarking and practicing social justice, equity and equal distribution of male monarch and opportu nities to all Canadians in-s nether regione of their race, language or origin. Through this, confidence in the principals of a diverse culture will be embraced and the populace will be happy to identify with a diverse Canada. However, current practices have lead to difference in opinion about personal identity in various immigrant societies. As such personal ideology and perception on the essence of cohesion within a multicultural society with apertures of incommensurate opportunities and social classes (Nakhaie, 2006)Nakhaie is pinpointing the limitations of multiculturalism in Canada as a result of pervasiveness of an individuals ideology about the difference in equitability of opportunities and social justice. Canadian government officials do not recognize professional background of immigrants leading to immigrants victorious lower classification jobs.About 88% of these people learn in Canadian institutions but only 19% of suffice immigrants get jobs they are qualified for in Canada (Basran and Zong, 1998). Multiculturalism fails since most immigrants see discrimination as rampant. They believe racial discrimination is rife through skin color, ethnic origin and the arcsecond language. Professional immigrants see no efforts to halt discrimination by the national authorities.Identity as a Canadian regard slight of admission to Canadian community legitimately is void in immigrants. This is seen through lack of immigrant voters in federal, municipal and provincial polls. Social and economic background leads to this minimal fraternity in the electoral process (154). Efforts by minority groups in the civic take participate electoral processes is aimed at lobbying against discrimination and racial injustices (Nakhaie, 2006).This inequality has direct to limitations in the implementation of multiculturalism policies. There is no sense of identity in many legitimate immigrants in Canada. The sense of belonging and attachment to Canada lacks repayable to mu lticulturalisms inefficiency to integrate the diverse cultures of the society. However this is contentious since huge percentages of french speaking immigrants express attachment to their provinces. But English immigrants are less proud of their Canadian identity.The contention of multiculturalism lies within the context of socio-economic achievements, lower minority groups representations in the formal political circle. Native Canadians and those who conceitfulness in their early immigration to Canada feel multiculturalism undermines the Canadian identity. This forces them to seek to show and prove their rightfulness as the legitimate and older generation of Canadians. This has take to the prevalence of inequality in social equity, seen within the context of representation, exponentiation and employment in Canada (152).Looking at assertions in her works, Nakhaie is emphatic on ideologies and policies. She says that one can hypothesize that those who adhere to the ideology of i ndividualism, privatism and corporatism would scat not to support racially targeted policies, believing instead that racial minority members are responsible for their own misfortune because of lack of talent, motivation and handiwork (153). This is the cause of inequality in social justice regardless of policies that pit multiculturalism as essential to the integration of the society. Despite well intended policies multicultural cohesion is not achievable imputable to discontent to social injustices and inequality making Canada a racial society. Nakhaie argues that these policies do not suffice to lead the society of their equal opportunities.The minorities feel they are not equal to other Canadians who pride in their culture and representation. The state polices are clear on representation. Government policies are clear that every Canadian should enjoy positive and unalienable rights all which he cannot be deprived by any body (Nakhaie, 2006). This has led to ideological differ ences about the need for the equal chance policies while the state takes them for granted.Nakhaie says that this taken for granted-ness seems to contradict state attempts intended to surpass or reduce inequalities or to change the established conventions and the fundamental principals of social order. It therefore clashes with policies that address group-based systemic inequalities that are grounded in collectiveness or specifically support ethno-minorities (153). This is the contention of ideological differences in identity and lack of success in multiculturalism.The identity and pride associated with Canadian background is what multiculturalism stands for, however, the void due to various ethnic groups identifying with Canadian identity is what leads to an inequitable society. Various social backgrounds, ethnicity and social class differ with each other leading to diverse discontent with what the ideology of one Canada. English immigrants do not take pride in being Canadian whil e the French immigrants pride in the Canadian identity. This makes the in store(predicate) of multiculturalism unclear since there needs harmonisation and integrations of cultures to make an equitable society.Apart from policies, the state should put efforts in adding panache to multiculturalism. Nakhaie says immigration policies should offer satisfactory guarantee that equity and identity should be a right to every Canadian and that prejudices and any form of discrimination is apt(predicate) to prosecution.A set of implement-able policies to enhance multiculturalism and create a cohesive society proponent for social networks within ethno-minority societies in Canada to enhance and improve their capacity in social capital, representation, and participation. This will improve their representation, involvement and participation in the Canadian economic and civil society Advocate institutions practice of outreach missions to increase dispersion of information and policies to ethno-m inority groups so as to enlighten and empower them about their rights and identity as Canadians who have rights like all other Canadians. Encourage minorities participation on political and other social activities which will invoke tactile sensation of belonging through active participation. Increase equity through equal distribution of all government resources, opportunities and other amenities to all Canadians so as to increase the notion of merit and awarding positions and other chances based on merit.ConclusionThe need for multiculturalism has been embedded on a clear insurance of social equity and unity. However waning confidence in identity as Canadians within the minority cultures has made the need for multiculturalism to lack value. This makes the future of multiculturalism unclear unless the above policies and ideals are used to up the perspective of multiculturalism. The need for tolerance and cohesion and the ending of the animosity and resentment towards immigrants will make multiculturalism work (Gairdner, 1990)Works citedBasran, G and L.Zong.
