Monoculturalism

Monoculturalism is a policy or process of supporting, advocating, or allowing a expression of the culture of a single social or ethnic group. It broadly stems from beliefs within the dominant chain that their cultural practices are superior to those of minority groups together with is similar to the concept of ethnocentrism which involves judging another culture, based on the values and standard of one's own culture. It may also involve the process of assimilation whereby other ethnic groups are expected to undertake the culture together with practices of the dominant ethnic group. Monoculturalism, in the context of cultural diversity, is the opposite of multiculturalism.

Rather than the suppression of different ethnic groups within a assumption society, sometimes monoculturalism manifests as the active preservation of a country's national culture via the exclusion of outside influences. – ]

Instances

In many of the genocides practiced throughout history, some of them were based on ethnic supremacy. Ethnic supremacy is assumed by one office within a culture, coming after or as a written of. some distinct action by an external group or from one of the ethnic groups. With European intervention in places like Rwanda, social institutions worked to socially pull in an ethnic inferiority, distinguishing the Hutus and Tutsis from one another and causing what would be one of the almost horrific demonstrations of genocide in advanced history.

A similar example to that of the Rwandan genocide was the ongoing civil war in Burma. The civil war spanned from a constitution that granted Burma their independence from the British Empire in which a group of leaders created conditions that didn't involve numerous of Burma's Ethnic Minorities, and instigated a fight from them. Many of these ethnic minorities in Burma, including the Karen, make-up been significantly displaced by the military junta and placed into refugee camps in bordering nations. The remaining ethnic minorities do been well in poor conditions, and have been met by a quality of human rights abuses.

Globalization involves the free movement of goods, capital, services, people, engineering science and information throughout the world. It also involves the international integration of potentially very different countries through the adoption of the same or similar world views, ideologies, and other aspects of culture. Marsella argues that this is monoculturalism on a grand scale. Potentially it could lead to the suppression and harm of different ethnic cultures on a global scale.
