During my research I have found a great example for our topic: 'Multiculturalism does more harm than good'. I had been studying a book by Don C. Locke titled: Increasing Multicultural Understanding. It contains a lot of information about racism and prejudice. In that book you can find many examples which would justify our chosen topic. I personally think that Amish example would be the best one. Just take a look on this quote: After migrating to the United States in hopes of living in a free environment, the Amish were met with scepticism when they refused to fight for "their country". They were treated as traitors by people who could not understand their pacifist position. This is only one quote among others which inform us about lack of any positive connection between Amish culture and American society. According to the book, the Amish's beliefs are the main reason for separating themselves from the other part of Society. Amish are not interested in having any contact with the outside world which they treat like a sin. They do not accept our way of life and we do not want to understand their path either. I am so excited that my finding has been accepted by our module leader. I hope we make a good use of the Amish example in our presentation.
