A CRITICISM RELATED TO DISCUSSIONS ON CULTURAL INTEGRATION AND MULTICULTURALISM

Abstract

Thinking about the concepts of culture, identity and ethnic group takes place in different societies by way of universal principles in studies focused on immigration and integration. Recently, multiculturalism makes up the universal principles of studies focused on cultural integration. All multiculturalists emphasize understanding cultural and social differences and to live with them. However, a debate on the nature of multiculturalism is ongoing behind this lifeless title. Because this perspective sets forth deep questions for studies on immigration and integration. The perspective we will define as “hystorophobia” and “instrumentalist” form the basis of these problems. The aim of this article is to deepen and enliven the discussion on the nature of public studies taken into consideration with a focus on integration and immigration. Emphasis will be on the ahistorical and asociological aspects of migration, cultural integration focused studies taken into consideration within the framework of multiculturalism.
