MULTICULTURALISM

Today it's common in different parts of the world to see people living together in one territory. People have been raised and experienced multiculturalism from early childhood. When people are scared and you stay in your secure cultural patterns, you force people to do the same. You have no chance of developing closer relations. A person that has passion for life is person with an open mind.

In a company it takes longer to get work done and it's more difficult to strengthen the company.

In the United States there are African Communities, Chinese Communities and Mexican communities. American citizens are open to different types of clothing, food, or religions.
