AO1 Multiculturalism emphasises differences. Since multiculturalists stress the politics of difference and identity, rather than on what unites us, they tend to promote segregated rather than integrated societies. AO2 Since multiculturalists stress the politics of difference (Taylor) and the politics of identity, they tend to promote segregated rather than integrated societies. [IJ] We can therefore form a judgement that multiculturalism promotes segregated societies. AO1 The multiculturalist focus on minority rights undermines integration. AO2 The multiculturalist focus on minority rights (Parekh) promotes segregation within societies, and hostility from the majority community. [IJ] We can conclude from this that support for minority rights leads to the promotion of segregated societies. AO1 Conservatives argue that multiculturalism leads to segregation. AO2 Conservatives argue that rather than promoting integration, multiculturalism, in practice, leads to more segregated societies as it rejects the need for assimilation. [IJ] We can reach a judgment that the rejection of assimilation leads multiculturalism to promote segregated societies.

AO1 Multiculturalists promote integration through recognising difference. AO2 Societies are already fragmented. It is only by recognising and supporting difference that we can create integrated and diverse societies (Modood, Taylor). [IJ] We can reach a judgement that multiculturalism's support for difference promotes integrated societies. AO1 Multiculturalism's support for tolerance promotes integration. AO2 It is multiculturalism's support for tolerance that leads to a more integrated society where all cultures feel recognised and valued (Berlin). [IJ] We can conclude that multiculturalism's support for tolerance of different cultures promotes integrated societies. AO1 Multiculturalism promotes cross cultural dialogue. AO2 Multiculturalism promoted cross cultural dialogue which promotes tolerance and understanding, creating a common sense of belonging and respect allow different cultures to coexist peacefully and happily. [IJ] We can form a judgement that multiculturalism promoted cross cultural dialogue and integrated, multicultural societies.
