Multiculturalism

Multiculturalism describes the cultural and ethnic diversity in Australia. It helps highlighting the fact Australia is a culturally diverse country. The policy of multiculturalism was endorsed for three main reasons: cultural identity, social justice and economic efficiency. All the Australians citizens are meant to obey these principles equally no matter what background they belong to. Multiculturalism shapes the way we live and the kind of people we are.

We as a community should realise that we belong to the same continent therefore share the same land and soul and have to share its destiny and the social and economic hardships which confront us. To avoid racism in our world we have to accept that we are one in character, race, language, religion and culture.
