Evolving world of multiculturalism, globalization, migration and connectivity
Multiculturalism in contemporary accelerated globalization is profoundly different from the past. Multiculturalism has gone global over time and in rapid pace due to innovation and technology, but cross-cultural relationships are not a guarantee for lasting peace and happiness, with it comes a great deal of understanding, tolerance and acceptance. In today’s globalized world different kinds of imbalance, multicultural frictions and other challenges can create a very volatile environment.
These issues raise a question to the rapid acceptance of globalization where on one hand people feel the need to adapt to western cultures and on the other find it difficult to maintain their own traditions. Hence, it is very important to create a balance between the cultural heritages with the evolution of time and also protection of one’s cultural identify and enriching it with what other cultures can bring to us.
