The United States of America is one of the most diversified counties in the world. Every year thousands of immigrants come here to search for opportunities and live a better life. For centuries, both Americans and foreigners have been learning to cooperate, communicate with people who differ from them, show them respect, and form a diversified society. The concept of pluralism represents variety in people, a right to differ from others, and diversity in their interests and opinions.
This political philosophy is meaningful and exists in every progressive environment. Pluralism refers to a society where there are numerous different ethnic, religious, and cultural groups that coexist, cooperate, form one nation, and contribute to society as a whole (). Successfully cooperating, different people can form the most sustainable, powerful, and invincible society together. Furthermore, people’s traditions from other countries, religions, and beliefs have to be respected and considered.
Pluralism is an essential component of a prosperous society: it allows people with entirely different backgrounds to share their experiences and cooperate. Diversity in people is the key to success; they can see any situation from different angles and provide the best result to any entity. In addition, pluralism considers distinctiveness in the points of view of other people and their different needs that have to be met and respected. The diversity of people can be seen in American schools, universities, courts, businesses, banks, soccer teams, and many other entities.
One of the best examples in nowadays society of pluralism is that every big company, like Google, Apple, SpaceX, and others, deliberately hires people with entirely different backgrounds. Looking at their workers, a person can notice ethnic, age, gender, religion, and background diversity. Companies explain that the aim of this decision is to gather people who will complement each other’s ideas which would lead to success. Moreover, the most successful result will be achieved by a varied community.
