It often places an emphasis on togetherness and does not have a tendency towards conflict. It does this by qualifying it's endorsement of cultural diversity. They are only prepared to tolerate values and social practices that are compatible with freedom and autonomy, which implies that minority rights should be limited to groups which permit members to question, revise and even reject the group, and that groups should only be entitled to public recognition if they are open and tolerant and resist authoritarian impulses.]]> 2016-12-01 11:23:52 UTC https://padlet.com/richard_james_jones/hjb0zxpcifpo/wish/141062675 https://padlet.com/richard_james_jones/hjb0zxpcifpo/wish/141063487 One feature of multiculturalism is that it draws an important distinction between 'private' and 'public' life.

The virtue of liberal democracy is that it ensures that government is based on the consent of the people, and, in providing guarantees for personal freedom and toleration, it helps to uphold diversity.]]> 2016-12-01 11:37:10 UTC https://padlet.com/richard_james_jones/hjb0zxpcifpo/wish/141064695 https://padlet.com/richard_james_jones/hjb0zxpcifpo/wish/141065598 Will Kymlicka has developed the most influential liberal theory of multiculturalism by marrying the liberal values of autonomy and equality with an argument about the value of cultural membership. Kymlicka views cultures as instrumentally valuable to individuals, for two main reasons. First, cultural membership is an important condition of personal autonomy. Second, cultural membership plays an important role in people's self-identity.]]> 2016-12-01 11:42:50 UTC https://padlet.com/richard_james_jones/hjb0zxpcifpo/wish/141065598 https://padlet.com/richard_james_jones/hjb0zxpcifpo/wish/141065815 - Communitarianism

John Rawls, for example, championed this belief in arguing that liberalism strives to establish conditions in which people can establish the good life as each defines it (the right), but it does not prescribe or try to promote any particular values or moral beliefs (the good).]]> 2016-12-01 11:45:35 UTC https://padlet.com/richard_james_jones/hjb0zxpcifpo/wish/141066070 https://padlet.com/richard_james_jones/hjb0zxpcifpo/wish/141066229 Cultural diversity within a liberal-Democratic frame-work]]> 2016-12-01 11:46:51 UTC https://padlet.com/richard_james_jones/hjb0zxpcifpo/wish/141066229 https://padlet.com/richard_james_jones/hjb0zxpcifpo/wish/141066809 2016-12-01 11:50:54 UTC https://padlet.com/richard_james_jones/hjb0zxpcifpo/wish/141066809 https://padlet.com/richard_james_jones/hjb0zxpcifpo/wish/141066958 In the more radical 'republican' multiculturalism ]]> 2016-12-01 11:52:03 UTC https://padlet.com/richard_james_jones/hjb0zxpcifpo/wish/141066958 https://padlet.com/richard_james_jones/hjb0zxpcifpo/wish/141070361 In the more radical 'republican' multiculturalism that it practised in France, an emphasis on secularism, in public life has led to bans on wearing the hijab, or Muslim headscarf, in schools, and since 2003, to a ban on all forms of overt religious affiliation in French schools. In 2010, France passed legislation in banning the full face veil in public, with Belgium following suit in 2011. Some multiculturalists, however, view such trends as an attack on multiculturalism itself.]]> 2016-12-01 12:17:01 UTC https://padlet.com/richard_james_jones/hjb0zxpcifpo/wish/141070361 https://padlet.com/richard_james_jones/hjb0zxpcifpo/wish/365012762 2019-06-01 03:54:37 UTC https://padlet.com/richard_james_jones/hjb0zxpcifpo/wish/365012762 https://padlet.com/richard_james_jones/hjb0zxpcifpo/wish/417526683 2019-11-28 15:46:09 UTC https://padlet.com/richard_james_jones/hjb0zxpcifpo/wish/417526683 https://padlet.com/richard_james_jones/hjb0zxpcifpo/wish/417601577 2019-11-28 21:55:26 UTC https://padlet.com/richard_james_jones/hjb0zxpcifpo/wish/417601577 https://padlet.com/richard_james_jones/hjb0zxpcifpo/wish/632475339 2020-06-18 17:04:00 UTC https://padlet.com/richard_james_jones/hjb0zxpcifpo/wish/632475339 https://padlet.com/richard_james_jones/hjb0zxpcifpo/wish/632475448 2020-06-18 17:04:04 UTC https://padlet.com/richard_james_jones/hjb0zxpcifpo/wish/632475448
