Multiculturalism, Individualis

A detailed Summary of Multiculturalism, Individualis

Mauritius and Modes of Inter-ethnic Compromise

Mauritius is one of the polyethnic countries that has the most peaceful and stable democratic.Basically the concept of the multicultural country is based on the balance between the difference and the equality and, most importantly, something that every citizens shares(compromises) together, in this sense, 'Inter-ethnic Compromise'. I now would like to explain this kind of function in Mauritius, which I believe it is one of the most efficient.

An important element in the Mauritian political system is the so-called arrangement, which guarantees the presentation of all ethnic groups through alloting a limited number of parliamentary seats to runner-up at general Election. The best loser are selected so as to ensure the representation of all ethnic groups in the Legislative Assembly. In this way, I think the right to be different is more emphasized than the right to be equal, since as a democratic country, every ethnic needs to have voice in the parliament.

Other elements are religions, schooling system and official languages.I would like to empasize on the schooling system, which here the right to be oqual prevails over the right to different.Thus core circula are uniform island-wi

The author suggests that both equal right and the right to be different msay in particular situation lead to discrimination and the violation of commonly agreed upon individual human rights.Since the right to be equal may oppress the minorities to assimilate to public culture, whereas the right to be different here may lead to power discrepancies.

Some of my own arguement and opinion according to the paper

I think the paper is greatly well written. Even though the word and sentence are hard to understand, but I admire the author that he gradually tries to develop the reader's understanding of multiculturalism step by step, from the definition of culture, paradox to the case study. I also admire that he neatly and very well link netween the case study and the concept of the topic. However, I have some questions about his suggestion.

Chiefly I think the author suggest that the equal right in multiculturalist poplicy should be granted to the indivual,not the right for the minorites or any group of people to protect themselves in any aspect. Thus the individual human rights should be embeded in every individual of the society and individualism should be key factor in the society. The equal right shoud be embeded in some particular part of the society, especially in the politic, but not in terms of culture (or assimilation for some scholar). So finally the country,like Mauritius, become like a fruit sald raher than the fruit compote.
