Multiculturalism With
Globalisation:
- Open boarders in the EU have increased multiculturalism
- Deregulation (free markets) have increased opportunities for FDI and workers
- More foreign workers and students now live in the UK
- Globalisaton of people can lead to conflicts due to race
- Globalisation of resources can cause conflicts e.g water and fossil fuels.
Example
Of Culturally Mixed Societies:
- Russian elite in London – 300,000 Russians = £Billions
- Gulf states, low wage Asian workers from India, Pakistan. Large Asian communities in the UK who have colonial links and immigration.
- EU immigrants from Poland (1 million in the UK) have increased tensions
- Tensions Include: Racism, hate crime, riots, protest, stand-offs, arrests and vandalism.
Controlling
Globalisation:
- Some counties censor globalisation of knowledge, ideas, education, culture and democracy e.g North Korea banning mobile phones, China banning Facebook and news outlets such as BBC News
- Some also limit immigration such as the UK who have strict rules for immigrants from outside the EU
- Trade is protected by large TNCs and foreign imports
- Amazon Tribes are fighting globalisation by protesting, Greenpeace are also doing the same
Retaining
Cultural Identity:
- Amazon Tribes are doing this because outsiders want their land, whilst they want to keep it due to it having physical resources whereas some people also embrace globalisation's economic advantages.
