Read the following passage about cultural diversity and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your
answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions.
[I] In today’s interconnected world, multiculturalism has become increasingly prevalent as people from
diverse cultural backgrounds live and work together in the same communities. [II] Multiculturalism
fosters cultural diversity, promoting understanding and tolerance among individuals with different
perspectives and traditions (Banks, 2015). [III] However, while multiculturalism brings many benefits, it
also poses certain challenges that need to be addressed to achieve a harmonious society (Parekh, 2000 ).
[IV]
One of the key benefits of multiculturalism is the enrichment of society through diverse perspectives.
Different cultural backgrounds contribute unique ideas, art forms, and traditions, which can lead to a
more vibrant and innovative community. For instance, diverse viewpoints in the workplace often drive
creativity and lead to better problem-solving solutions. Additionally, exposure to various cultures can
increase people's awareness and acceptance of others, thus reducing discrimination and promoting social
cohesion.
However, a multicultural society is not without its challenges. Language barriers, for example, can hinder
communication and understanding among individuals. Miscommunication due to language differences
can lead to misunderstandings or even conflicts. Furthermore, people may feel divided by their cultural
identities, which can create a sense of "us versus them." Some argue that without efforts to bridge cultural
differences, multiculturalism might unintentionally lead to social fragmentation
To foster a successful multicultural society, it is essential to promote inclusive policies and encourage
intercultural dialogue. Schools and workplaces can play a significant role by celebrating diversity and
teaching cultural understanding. When people actively engage with different cultures, they are more
likely to find common ground and develop mutual respect, which helps create a stronger, more unified
community.
