Pros and Cons of Multiculturalism In the United States, the people rule, but in order for the people to govern with the best interest of the entire society in mind, they must have an understanding of all cultural elements of the company. Many people believe that if multiculturalism were incorporated into the curriculum, future voters would have a better basis on which to govern. But multiculturalism is a topic that has sparked serious debate. Many people believe it is necessary for the betterment of Americans in our fight for a more culturally accepting society. Many others firmly believe that this will only make cultural differences more evident and harmful. Supporters believe that multiculturalism will benefit society in many ways. This will allow majority groups to better understand minority groups and will further strengthen Black people's right to free speech, which has been oppressed for so long. They also believe that this will further the right of all Americans to free expression and that it should give everyone more history to know. The opposition believes that minority groups have already established a path to give majority groups an understanding of minority individuality and believes that sufficient steps have already been taken to guarantee everyone the inherent right to freedom of expression. They fear that relevant historical information will be excluded from the curriculum and ultimately argue that white males will ultimately be discriminated against.
