In my opinion, I think living in a multicultural society have many advantages. I am a student from Malaysia. As everyone knows, Malaysia is a multicultural society. From young, we need to learn at least three languages in our daily life. From this point, I found that we learn more than other people from other countries do. We have more knowledge about other races’ culture. We can always share our knowledge to others. Besides that, we also have a lot of public holiday and festival in multicultural society. As there are many different races, so, we celebrate all races’ holiday together in our society.
Although there are many advantages, living in multicultural society still have a lot of disadvantages. For example, as I said, we learn many languages in our daily life. We learn Malay, Mandarin, and English from young. This make us can’t focus in just one language. So, we can’t speak well English as all the Americans do, we can’t speak good Mandarin as all the China people do. Besides that, there are some inequality civil rights in a multicultural society. Some civil rights laws are more towards the majority in the society. For example, in Malaysia, Malays can pay less than other races if they are buying the same item. It makes us think that we are victims in the society.
