  1. Cultural pluralism

    About the concept of cultural pluralism other uses of the term Pluralism disambiguation Cultural pluralism is a term used when smaller groups within a larger society maintain their unique cultural identities, and their values and practices are accepted by the wider culture. One example is Lebanon where 18 different religious communities co exist on a land of 10,452  km . In a pluralist culture, unique groups not only co exist side by side, but also consider qualities of other groups as traits worth having in the dominant culture. The current contemporary art world in the 21st century is an example of cultural pluralism, with a variety of styles existing side by side. For another example, a community center in the United States may offer classes in Indian yoga , Chinese calligraphy , and Latin salsa dancing . That community may also have one or more synagogue s, mosque s, mandir s, gurudwara s, and or Buddhist temple s, as well as several churches of various Christian denominations. The existence of such institutions and practices are possible if the cultural communities responsible for them are protected by law and or accepted by the larger society in a pluralist culture. The idea of cultural pluralism in America has its roots in the transcendentalist movement and was developed by pragmatist philosophers such as William James and John Dewey , and later thinkers such as Horace Kallen and Randolph Bourne . One of the most famous articulations of cultural pluralistic ideas can be found in Bourne s 1916 essay Trans National America . ref Science Encyclopedia http science.jrank.org pages 10750 Pluralism Cultural Pluralism.html Cultural Pluralism Retrieved on May 31, 2007 ref References Reflist See also Multiculturalism Category Pluralism Pluralism Category Social theories Culture stub Socio stub el es Pluralismo cultural ja sh Kulturni pluralizam ...   more details

  1. Legal pluralism

    About the concept of legal pluralism other uses of the term Pluralism disambiguation Legal pluralism is the existence of multiple legal system s within one geographic area. Plural legal systems are particularly prevalent in former colonies , where the law of a former colonial authority may exist alongside more traditional legal systems. When these systems developed, the idea was that certain issues e.g., commercial law commercial transactions would be covered by colonial law, while other issues e.g., family law family and marriage would be covered by traditional law. Over time, these distinctions tended to break down and individuals would choose to bring their legal claims under the system that they thought would offer them the best advantage. Legal pluralism also occurs when different laws govern different groups within a country. For example, in India and Tanzania , there are special Islamic courts that address concerns in Muslim communities by following Islamic law principles. Secular courts deal with the issues of other communities. It is important to note that modern Western legal systems can also be pluralistic. ref See Griffiths, John 1986 What is Legal Pluralism in Journal of Legal Pluralism 24 1 55. ref It is, thus, misleading to discuss legal pluralism only in relation to non Western legal systems.

  1. Polarized pluralism

    Unreferenced date September 2007 Polarized pluralism is a description applied to a two party system two party or multi party political system which is seen as overly polarized and therefore as dysfunctional. It was originally described by political philosopher Giovanni Sartori to define a system where moderate views are replaced by polarized views. The phrase was used by analyst Roger Cohen writing in the New York Times to describe American politics about energy, ref name twsNovHaa cite news author Roger Cohen title Energy lessons publisher The New York Times quote Perhaps there s something to treadmill wisdom. We re all so narrow band these days, using the vast resources of broadband to direct ourselves into a chosen ideological and news tunnel.

In a typical two party system two party or multi party system multi party system, the distribution of party power looks like a normal curve with a slight skew. In such a condition, most of the country is moderate or moderate leaning Liberalism liberal or conservatism conservative . If the country becomes polarized, then the curve becomes one with two main humps and looks like a bimodal distribution , with the power at the far political left and political right right ends, and a severe dip in the middle one side will have more influence than the other, creating a strong trend to follow them. There is speculation that a nation with such a distribution, effectively having two highly separate approaches with no compromise positions in the middle, becomes difficult to govern.
