BENEFITS OF MULTICULTURALISM IN A SOCIETY
                     BENEFITS OF 
MULTICULTURALISM 
IN A SOCIETY
More Lifestyle 
Options
One of the major benefits of 
living in a multicultural society 
is that the cultural exchange of 
ideas, values, and habits can 
help people increase their 
quality of life. In a diverse 
culture, you have many options 
when it comes to deciding how 
you want to live.

Opportunities 
to explore
 There’s an impressive range of 
opportunities to explore. You 
don’t have a single answer to 
what to wear, what to eat, or 
how you spend your free time. 
And this diversity of options is 
what makes the United States 
so attractive.

Increased 
Awareness of 
Cultural 
Identity 
Paradoxically, when you live in 
an incredibly diverse society, 
you become more aware of your 
cultural identity. People living in 
multicultural communities feel 
the need to define their identity.

Increased 
Awareness of 
Cultural 
Identity 
They also feel the need to 
understand the differences and 
similarities between themselves 
and others with different 
backgrounds. Thus, they are 
prouder of their heritage than 
those living in a homogeneous 
society.

Tolerance and 
Open-
Mindedness 
A second major benefit of living 
in a multicultural society is that 
being surrounded in everyday 
life by people with different 
backgrounds and cultural 
identities encourages tolerance 
and open-mindedness.

Mixed heritage
In a country with so many 
immigrants and minorities, and 
where such a large percentage 
of the population has mixed 
heritage, acceptance, tolerance, 
and open-mindedness are the 
core values that make the 
nation thrive.

People feel 
accepted
If people feel accepted and 
valued, they have an intrinsic 
motivation to contribute to the 
society that embraces them and 
affords them the quality of life 
they seek. An example is 
minorities that drive progress in 
business and the public space.

Creativity and 
Innovation
Living in a multicultural society 
means having direct contact 
with people with different 
habits, ideas, and lifestyles. This 
condition is ideal for creativity 
and innovation. In a 
multicultural society, you’re 
always exposed to new ways of 
doing things and fresh ways of 
looking at things.

Fosters 
innovation
A mix of perspectives, talents, 
skills, and ideas fosters 
innovation and makes space for 
outside-the-box mindsets. And 
this is easy to notice by looking 
at all aspects of the American 
lifestyle, including food, fashion, 
design, art, entertainment, 
sports, or professional settings.
