2. What do you know about pluralistic society ?
Pluralistic
society
This is any society in which
citizens can legally and publicly hold multiple competing ethical views and are
allowed to choose for themselves what ethical beliefs if any they wish to hold.
It is often mistaken for a society which tolerates different ethical beliefs or
groups of people and holds that all are equal, which is correctly identified as
moral relativism, a logically invalid position held by mush of the world today.
Pluralistic Society is a society comprised of people from numerous different cultural and ethnic
backgrounds. Although some integration and acculturation is only natural, a
pluralistic society is one that acknowledges and allows for the cultural
diversity of its citizens.
Most Americans today accept it as an axiomatic
truth that we live in a free society. I often wonder, however, how many
of us realize that a free society is by definition a pluralistic society.
A pluralistic society is one in which there are many different centers of
authority, influence, and opinion, competing with one another, arguing with one
another, trying by various means to expand their spheres of influence, and
producing a great variety, richness, and animation. In such a society
there is no single voice, government, cultural, ethical, religious, or
social. There are many voices, each speaking from its point of view and striving
to maintain itself in the general competition for belief and support. In
direct contrast stands the monistic ideal of society, experienced by many
millions of persons in other lands, which does have only one voice, and which
works by many means toward effecting a unanimity of opinion, belief, and
sentiment on all the issues of this life. That system bears the name
totalitarian, and it is by now an obvious fact that these two are engaged in a
gigantic rivalry to capture the imagination of the world.
Examples:
1. The Amish in Pennsylvania - who travel by horse and buggy, use no electricity, and run their own schools, banks, and stores.
2. Native Americans who have their own government, religion, businesses, schools, and communities. Each individual Native American tribe is divided up into separate sub-cultures enriched with their own collective histories and traditions, language, social customs, and family of origins.
