Multiculturalism Part 2 – You are invited to the wedding
If we want to create the greater society, we have to allow the mosaic of local cultures to shine through and marry each other. The cultures should complement each other and build a strong foundation to live happily ever after on. Trust is the cement for a good society infrastructure.
If cultures fail to get married, a greater society cannot be created and sustained. The concept of a Pluralistic society becomes void. My understanding of modernity, openness and democracy is that they allow many talents and cultures to develop on a fertile soil. The cultures enrich the dynamic civilisation of the 21st century.
Our culture is changing by the second with the power of social networking and it has become vital for cultures to stand united and marry. Let’s all join the wedding!
