Mutual tolerance of multiculturalism is important to prevent misconceptions between cultural groups and exacerbating tensions. While some countries like Canada, Australia and Malaysia officially promote multiculturalism, Germany has found that attempts to build a multicultural society have failed. Overcoming challenges like ethnocentrism, dominant ideologies and cultural arrogance can help societies achieve multiculturalism and its benefits, like economic gains from international trade and greater global understanding. Education is key to developing multicultural awareness and appreciation of differences.
