CEVAP:

Multiculturalism is a normative and political term, which ideologically dictates that different communities should not be forced to integrate but rather be allowed to maintain their own ethno-cultural and religious identities and live in 'parallel societies' within a single state. Multiculturalism can be defined as a widely different set of ideas and policy programs that promote the incorporation and participation of immigrants and ethnic minorities into society, taking into account their modes of ethno-cultural and religious difference.
