- CRITICISMS
- LIBERAL
- attacked its LEGITIMACY as it violates universal values
- promotes a collectivist image of society
- this is where individuals are only thought to possess an identity and therefore only have value as MEMBERS OF A COMMUNITY
- Theory: Communitarianism
- Argue that the bonds of everyday life are crucial for binding society together
- Places emphasis on relation of IDENTITY
- Family
- Ethnicity
- Liberals find this dubious as it prmotes colelctive rights over individual rights
- Thus human rights (especially FREEDOM OF SPEECH) are at RISK
- The desire to protect the dignity of the community - led to large number of campaigns against books and plays by community leaders
- these had the object of silencing dissident members of the communities
- Liberals OBJECT as multiculturalism assumes people have A SINGLE IDENTITY which must determine their entire existence
- Multiculturalism give OPPORTUNITY & LEGITIMACY to anti-liberal authoritarian ideologies
- EG: Islamicism

- promotes a collectivist image of society
- attacked its LEGITIMACY as it violates universal values
- CONSERVATIVE
- Criticism arises from threat that it poses to organic society
- the delicate structure of the organic society's that's a product of centuries of history - is being destroyed by rapid entry of large pop's who don't share same national values
- CRUCIALLY they don't share same HISTORICAL EXPERIENCE
- cannot share same heritage of the host population as their own narrative (tells them who they are how they became who they are) is DIFFERENT to everyone elses
- Thus: impossible to identify with national history and national insitutions
- cannot share same heritage of the host population as their own narrative (tells them who they are how they became who they are) is DIFFERENT to everyone elses
- CRUCIALLY they don't share same HISTORICAL EXPERIENCE
- the delicate structure of the organic society's that's a product of centuries of history - is being destroyed by rapid entry of large pop's who don't share same national values
- 'Number threat'
- isolated individuals - little problem - can be absorbed within a single generation
- Issue of the requirememnt to give EQUAL MORAL VALUE to traditions and beleifs of immigrants
- Doing thins DEVALUES the heritage of host community
- Host community will feel disinherited by the lack of respect given to their traditions
- they will REACT and SOCIAL DISORDER will ensue
- Host community will feel disinherited by the lack of respect given to their traditions
- BUT if multicultural experiments succeed - the essential national identity will be DESTROYED
- Something that was of unique value will have VANISHED
- This will IMPOVERISH FUTURE GENERATIONS and UNDERMINE CRUCIAL FEATURE OF INHERITANCE AND TRADITION
- lacking these assets will make sure that the new multicultural society will be impoverished, weak and unstable to what they have replaced

- FEMINIST
- Multiculturalism LEGITIMISES IMPORTED PATRIARCHAL VALUES
- As there must be 'respect for all cultures' oppressive practices
- EG: forced marriage
- can all exist, as sometimes the authorities 'turn a blind eye' to activities which go against the law
- domestic violence
- female circumcism
- EG: forced marriage
- As there must be 'respect for all cultures' oppressive practices
- Multiculturalism LEGITIMISES IMPORTED PATRIARCHAL VALUES
- SOCIALIST
- Multiculturalism MARGINALIZES CLASS as a deciding factor of SOCIAL PROGRESS
- Identity politics divert the working class from attacking economic exploitation
- Multiculturalism up as just a celebration of
- the growth of middle class from minority groups
- ascent of individuals into high positions in professional & political life
- Change is viewed on a community scale which leads to a system of 'spoils democracy'
- This is where electorates voting on ethnic/religious linesexpect their representatives to deliver resource in the form of public jobs, contracts and development funds to their 'own community'
- Rather than seeking change - advancement of society - electcted representativces of minority communities may attempt to use electoral success to obtain and increased share of existing resources
- Then distribute this to their own constituency hoping to ensure their continued political success
