Det ÄR ett bättre samhälle! Alla högstående kulturer har varit mångkulturella - de monokulturella rikena har försvunnit i glömska, kortlivade som de blev.
Nej forskning visar att det är precis tvärtom:
Evidence from the US suggests that in ethnically diverse neighbourhoods residents of all races tend to ?hunker down?. Trust (even of one?s own race) is lower, altruism and community cooperation rarer, friends fewer.
Inhabitants of diverse communities tend to withdraw from collective life, to distrust their neighbours, regardless of the colour of their skin, to withdraw even from close friends, to expect the worst from their community and its leaders, to volunteer less, give less to charity and work on community projects less often, to register to vote less, to agitate for social reform more, but have less faith that they can actually make a difference, and to huddle unhappily in front of the television.
In areas of greater diversity, our respondents demonstrate:Lower confidence in local government, local leaders and the local news media.
Lower political efficacy ? that is, confidence in their own influence.
Lower frequency of registering to vote, but more interest and knowledge about politics and more participation in protest marches and social reform groups.
Less expectation that others will cooperate to solve dilemmas of collective action (e.g., voluntary conservation to ease a water or energy shortage).
Less likelihood of working on a community project.
Lower likelihood of giving to charity or volunteering.
Fewer close friends and confidants.
Less happiness and lower perceived quality of life.
More time spent watching television and more agreement that ?television
is my most important form of entertainment?.
