Culture and
Multiculturalism

2. What is Third
Culture?
 Our textbook defines it as to
refer to a new culture that two
or more individuals from
different cultures can share that
is not merely the fusion of the
separate cultures but a new
coherent whole.

3.  Another use of the term third culture has
been to refer to children in expatriate
families who reside outside of their
home culture for years at a time.

4. Research has found that third-culture kids are seen to be more self confident,
flexible, active, and curious and to have greater bilingual ability.

5. What is Multiculturalism?
 Multiculturalism is the presence of, or
support for the presence of, several
distinct cultural or ethnic groups within a
society.

and international
terrorism and domestic
terrorism have led to
renewed pressures
against multiculturalism.
