The final paper is an overall Reflection on the idea of Multiculturalism and it’s future.
A. Is our inability as a society to overcome racism and sexism a structural problem? In other words its not a matter of individual prejudice (which is also a problem but by itself it could be overcome) but the way institutions and frameworks of society are setup.. If the economy cannot produce jobs its a structural problem…. if a specific community or communities start out with less power that then is a structural problem… If schools end up largely segregated then that is a structural problem. Is there a need to rethink our economic system completely to overcome problems of race and gender?
B. It is possible to argue, especially given the last few years, that the limits of Multiculturalism have been fully exposed. Some might go as far as to say that multiculturalism is merely a cover and not a real solution? Does it have a future? Is there a deeper or more militant Multiculturalism possible?
