Society is made up of various cultural groups trying to live together. We aim for social cohesion, but how do we do this as society becomes increasingly complex, aided and abetted by political correctness? Steve Bell peels back the complex layers of our multi-cultural society to reveal the inner workings of our national life. Using the metaphor of a mountain range, he identifies the major obstacles to meaningful and mutually respectful interaction between Christians and Muslims and encourages intelligent Christian engagement with western culture. It seems mountains can move, but only when grace and truth are involved in all spheres of society, as fair-minded people of all faiths and none, learn to model the necessary attitude and actions. Content Benefits: Looks at the issues of living in a multi-cultural society and asks how we can achieve social cohesion in a mutually respectful manner. Metaphor of a mountain range allows the various obstacles in our national life to be challenged Examines issues such as the legacy of colonialism, racism, political correctness and Christian/Muslim relations Unpacks the idea that minority social groups are now at odds among themselves Shows that with mutual respect in all spheres that there is a way forward to social cohesion Encourages honest and respectful debate by learning how to 'face facts' about one another without 'fuelling fear' of one another Will enable us to understand why we think as we do in our country, and how that insight can help bring change Engenders mutual respect that can lead to new and constructive dialogue that facilitates change Suitable for anyone who wants to see a more cohesive society Helpful for anyone in leadership, whether faith based or secular Ideal reading for students engaging in multi culturalism/ interfaith dialogue Author is an internationally recognised communicator with forty years' experience in cross-cultural issues

First published in 2000. Several researchers have found that "self-esteem" is definitely not the "cure all" solution to our social ills. On the contrary, promoting self-esteem may produce negative consequences. Excessive promotion of the self may be the basis for various forms of discrimination in our modern, multicultural society. It takes others to know the self and the self needs others to succeed in life. Self-esteem is incomplete without other-esteem. Other Esteem is a creative, unique, and unconventional response to our society's apparent obsession with promoting the self. The book is unique in that it is a direct challenge to the widespread belief that low self-esteem is at the root of all social ills. It describes the importance of respect, tolerance, group effort, and connection with others to the health of the individual and gives concrete steps for individuals to take action by consciously changing their own attitudes. Other Esteem will become essential reading for multicultural relations courses and any seminar where self-esteem is taught. It will also be useful in many other courses in counseling, human development, and student affairs and leadership.

Multicultural societies are a phenomenon that can be increasingly observed worldwide. This book focuses on the question of how individuals living within a multicultural society experience the meeting of cultures. Murdock combines both a thorough review of the theoretical body of research concerning multiculturalism and related concepts such as globalization, acculturation and biculturalism with specific empirical research evidence, providing new insights into factors which shape our openness towards a plurally composed society. Multiculturalism, Identity and Difference contains original research conducted within the ‘natural laboratory’ that multilingual, multicultural Luxembourg provides. This is a country where the foreign population makes up nearly half of the total population. In the era of globalization, culture contact is a daily occurrence and this book makes a contribution to the questions of if and how culture contact can be experienced as an opportunity rather than a threat by individuals.

"Human life is like a color spectrum. More than merely physiological mechanism, it also involves cognitive, emotional, social, and cultural processes. The complexity of human life also requires a good understanding of such various processes. Therefore, each perspective from the different dimensions will contribute significantly to our scientific efforts to understand and, hopefully, to solve our daily problems. We have selected various interesting studies that might offer new psychological insights into human life. This book will give a new perspective on promoting well-being in every aspect of human life. Several studies employ different psychological perspectives while addressing similar issues. Hopefully, this book can help all psychologists and psychological practitioners in understanding human behavior in the Indonesian context"--

Essay from the year 2012 in the subject Sociology - Culture, Technology, Nations, grade: 2.0, Charles Darwin University, language: English, abstract: Culture and society; two abstract and immaterial words, which we use in our everyday life to describe, who we are and how we live. But are we truly aware of what we sometimes say? Is there really something what we can call a scandal culture? Can something be wrong with society? What makes a society civilised? How does a culture change? How can we contribute to society? What makes a multi-cultural society multi-cultural and what has society actually to do with culture? Sir Edward Burnett Tylor described culture 1871 as "...that complex whole which includes knowledge, belief, art, morals, law, custom, and any other capabilities and habits acquired by man as a member of society..."(Taylor 1871:1). Culture would be the foundation to the whole way of life of a society. Lifestyle would include religion, legal systems, language, values and principles. But does Sir Edward Burnett Taylor’s description of culture apply in the globalised world we’re living in today? Is everyone who shares the same belief, part of the same society? Can we speak different languages within one culture?

Bhikhu Parekh argues for a pluralist perspective on cultural diversity. Writing from both within the liberal tradition and outside of it as a critic, he challenges what he calls the "moral monism" of much of traditional moral philosophy, including contemporary liberalism--its tendency to assert that only one way of life or set of values is worthwhile and to dismiss the rest as misguided or false. He defends his pluralist perspective both at the level of theory and in subtle nuanced analyses of recent controversies. Thus, he offers careful and clear accounts of why cultural differences should be respected and publicly affirmed, why the separation of church and state cannot be used to justify the separation of religion and politics, and why the initial critique of Salman Rushdie (before a Fatwa threatened his life) deserved more serious attention than it received. Rejecting naturalism, which posits that humans have a relatively fixed nature and that culture is an incidental, and "culturalism," which posits that they are socially and culturally constructed with only a minimal set of features in common, he argues for a dialogic interplay between human commonalities and cultural differences. This will allow, Parekh argues, genuinely balanced and thoughtful compromises on even the most controversial cultural issues in the new multicultural world in which we live.
