The search for national identity through the creation of a multicultural society on the example of Canada

Multiculturalism is a relatively recent phenomenon. It arose in the 70s of the 20th century in Canada and the United States. Multiculturalism serves both as a real social movement and as a certain flow of thoughts and ideology. It became the great solution to the problems related to cultural, ethnic, racial and religious diversity of the states. There are a vast majority of such states in the world and even less than 10% of the countries can be seen as culturally homogeneous.
