Primordial idea that nation built upon inherent attributes of its people. Example - canada: the idea that all people are immigrants and have a right to retain their own cultures; culture coexist without infringi(cid:374)g o(cid:374) ea(cid:272)h others" rights. Four elements: human rights and freedoms - respect for cultural differences, reconciliation with indigenous communities, management, political control, pacification of ethnic minority groups, economic benefits of multiculturalism (tourism) Coexistence of cultures - not combined into one, but exist alongside each other will never form into an entirely new culture. Example: canadian charter of rights and freedoms (1982) [need to add more to get full points!: cultural relativism. Used as tool of legitimizing power / dominance of elites and/or autocratic regimes. Strong fear of cultural homogenization by globalization.
