In culture and Multicultural Matrix and Analysis 16 SOC/315 Version 4 Part II: Analysis Summarize what you learned from this activity in a 350-700 word analysis of the advantages of a multicultural society and labor force. Use the following questions to guide your writing: How has U.S. society used each group's culture to construct the group identity? How has each group been stereotyped? How accurate are these stereotypes? How does the social concept of race relate to each group? What prejudice has each group faced? How do the behavior and thinking patterns of U.S. culture apply to each group, especially regarding class systems and employment? From Above discussed different ethnic groups, we have learned about Multiculralism. Multiculralism teaches us about diversity and differences of cultures and societies and helping us to integrate diverse cultures into the larger society. In multiculturalism, all cultures are respected. Generally multiculturalism is formed when people from many different countries migrate to one place for example USA. Therefore we can say the multiculturalism is the explanation of how different cultural groups construct a diversified society or group identity like USA. We can understand the construction of group identity from above mentioned different ethnic group's descriptions. The most important advantage of multicultural society is that the labor force are available in diverse. These diversified labor force contribute in country's progress. Stereotypes, prejudice, discrimination and racism are some other words which are used to understand culture other aspects of society. Stereotype is generalization about special group or types of individual. You can also say that the Stereotype is popular belief about a particular person or group of person. We made stereotype in some condition when we are unable to Multicultural Matrix and Analysis 17 SOC/315 Version 4 obtain all of the information about a special group. In this situation we make some information about a special group and in absent of total picture about this special group we use this information to fulfill this absent information of total picture. These stereotypical generalizations are reasonably accurate in many cases because we have made a generalization in every case and the root of this generalization is founded in our experiences. Our experiences vary case to case. Prejudice is another word which explains our knowledge about unknown things or special group or type of individuals. The prejudice is a prejudgment or preconceived judgment about someone or something like as special groups or type of individuals about race, gender, ethnicity and social classes. The prejudice is also known as belief without knowledge of the total fact. Some time we are confused about stereotype and prejudice but some differences are founded in stereotype and prejudice. These differences I am explaining here. In one hand, the prejudice means abstract-general preconception or attitude about something or someone, in other hand stereotype means generalization about something or someone that reduce complexity. Therefore, the stereotype and prejudice are the social concepts. On the basis of these social concepts like stereotype and prejudice we are able to make some decisions or attitude about society or culture of people or group of people. Some people have attitude about African American, on the basis of some history and pictures without the knowledge of total facts, that they are lazy, unintelligent, and violence-prone. We have some more social concepts that other ethnic groups are generally intelligent, lovely, and friendly like Caucasian ethnic group. Here, I want to say that every ethnic group or person face these social concepts. We can understand these social concepts from above discussed six ethnic groups of America. These social concepts affect the behavior and thinking pattern of people. In the USA, these behaviors and thinking patterns are also affected by these social concepts like as stereotype and prejudice. These behaviors and thinking patterns could seen in class system and employment, for example the African American are backward compare to white man because they have less opportunity compare to white man.
