Multi-faith societies

Advantages

  • Varied cultural life.
  • Clearer understanding of other cultures and religions.
  • Greater tolerance for other people's views and ways of life.
  • Freedom to believe what you want and to live your life how you desire to live it.
  • Less worried about people who are different to themselves.

Disadvantages

  • Conflicting views could cause discrimination.
  • Religious tolerance has lead to people's views being ignored. E.g. Christmas becoming Xmas in some cases.

Evaluation

There are more positive aspects to living in a multi-faith society, however the negative aspects could for some people outweigh the positive aspects, so cause them to move to another country where there is no multi-faith society.
