Abstract | The first years of the 21st Century have tragically demonstrated that few issues are so important in the world as that of relationships between nations, faiths and ethnic groups. It is the contention of the authors that the most positive response that can be made to this situation is for societies to try to ensure that each generation grows up with attitudes conducive to harmonious and rewarding lives in the multicultural world in which they live. This requires that each generation grows up accepting the rights of others to be different in race, language, culture and faith, accepting and benefiting from the ethnic diversity around them. |
