They are almost always forced to find a group and to fit in. If they are from different backgrounds, it is difficult for them to find somewhere they can fit in. Young children have a hard time understanding another child if they are different from who they are. Once they grow up, these youngsters start to understand exactly who they are and feel to good about where they came from. However, their education did not do this for them. They had to get this from outside of the school system.
Mixed culture children are growing in population. They need to be taught to appreciate who they are, to be proud of that and then because they feel secure to exchange cultural knowledge on an equal basis with peers in a multicultural society. In addition, as it has been necessary so often, it is likely that the best way to make this tolerance permanent is not just to enshrine it in law, but also the highest law of the lands, as is happening in the UK, Australia and Canada as well.

On the other hand, multiculturalism appears to be automatic in conceding division (Werbner, 2006).

This is contrary with cosmopolitan societies, which considers division unworldly and rude. While one society keeps its opening up its wounds, the other one tends to let its wounds heal by themselves. This means that one

The European settlers in turn came from various European nations: the earliest settlers came from Great Britain and France, and later from Germany and the Netherlands. The international slave trade ushered in several more African ethnic groups, albeit

As such, "American" literature has left out huge swaths of the literary tradition of America, simply by failing to qualify it as American literature. However, this has begun to change, as the works of other American cultures begin to
Viktor gains importance when he is selected as a Triwizard Champion and this creates tension between Krum and Harry. The two could have allowed tension to grow between them but they are different enough that they do not. Harry does not enjoy the limelight as much as Krum does and the two never attempt to undermine each other. While Krum is initially angry about Harry's being champion, the two
Specifically, it focuses the attention of authorities on persons of a certain race and creed, in direct opposition to the constitution, which guarantees equal rights and opportunities for everybody. As such, the Act is a manifestation of the underlying racial attitudes still very prevalent in the United States today. Indeed, it once again uncovers what has become invisible in these attitudes: that Americans who believe themselves to be open-minded
