Multiculturalism Part 1 – Pick and Mix

Listening to people talking about culture, faiths and values and giving “precise” definitions makes one wonder how we can narrow an ocean. We cannot speak of one culture for one society. Even if, in a community, everyone is the same skin colour, has the same historical past and shares the same faith, we still cannot talk of one culture for all.

The diverse mosaic of the society is like a Pick and Mix sweet jar. It is given by the individuals who have inherited the culture and values from their ancestors and is reflected by the education they receive, the knowledge they gain, interactions at work and the way of thinking of their mothers, grandmothers etc.

In my view, culture is breastfed directly from the mother to the future citizen of the country.
