Answer 1

Answer (1) Cultural pluralism states about the smaller community which maintains their self identity in between the larger community with greater extent. This self identity combines their cultural and moral value's as well. Cultural pluralism has seen a rapid growth in the whole world because of the Imigrants which travel throughout the world and carry their cultural identity to the different parts of the worlds.
