Actually issue is minorities

After French Revolution, not just idea of freedom spreaded also nationalism found a way for spreading. But now I guess, Multiculturism become popular and legal and illegal immigrant is rising so 

How we provide the blance?

Is melting pot some kind of assimilation which is crime against humanity ?

or

Is multi-culturalism a failed way?

I think these photoes are very good to summarize the topic. Both are about USA  but right is multiculturaism way, left is melting pot way.

There is no real difference between melting pot and multiculturalism.

Where are you coming from with these three questions, "How we provide the balance?", "Is melting pot some kind of assimilation which is crime against humanity ?", and "Is multi-culturalism a failed way?", Ollios? Generally, Ollios, these are in the divisive language style associated with the nastier side of far-right politics, used to highlight differences in order to poison the mind, instead of the common ground we all share.  
What a handsome figure of a dragon. No wonder I fall madly in love with the Alani Dragon now, the avatar, it's a gorgeous dragon picture.

I don't see a problem with balance? What is the problem with them?

but about other questions,

The reason of using strong language like that is to show the difference between them. (I believe they are different)

Actually first one is belongs to far-left and second is far-right.

One of the famous melting pot idiom
"One Country! One Language! One Flag!"
but this sounds a little bit assimilation. (also this is left perspective)

Multi-Culturalism is also criticized by nationalistic people and far-right

Maybe better, Ollios, if go ahead and explain your take on the differences you see, as it was your OP, and then we can look to see if they hold any water. Hopefully things will be made clear for you then.

Multi-Culturalism is also 
criticized by nationalistic people and far-right.

To “provide the balance” is often the kind of emotive language the far-right uses to force open an agenda of discrimination by placing a wedge between groups of people by suggesting culpability on those not originally from that area.

Do you imagine people to be too stupid to register cultural differences when they are offered, Ollios? What other differences do you imagine need to be pointed out with the negative emotive language you reference as strong language that would be beneficial across the board?

The second question instigated without a legitimate prompt is the rhetoric of right wing nationalism, although I can see where you’re coming from with your belief that it’s left wing, when used to answer allegations of a lack of commitment to integrate into communities.

The "One Country! One Language! One Flag!" link doesn’t actually show the origin of the term, or the name of the person who first used it. Not exactly sure you could class it as left wing either.

I think there is cultural lack between us. Wink

For me it sounds like it is coming from a kind of pacifist Far East religion.

When you comparing two things, if you use strong languages for one them. This means supporting one side, but using for the both of them, I don't see any problem.

Is this your writing style, for you just want to show me negative emotive language? Wink

Actually, I hate using political terms to define myself, so I won't confirm your statement about my belief.

Actually, this not a link, soory for that, I had heard it, but I wasn't sure so I searched on net and just copied

I am suprised, you are asking the origion of the term.

You can be sure because, left thinks that it is assimilation and wrong, not coming from left

This is a good historical image about melting pot

What brought you to that conclusion, Ollios?

Then as there must have been a reason that you chose the three questions in the OP, I look forward to your knowledge of the pacifist Far East religion’s take on the subject of your thread.

What I’m saying is, if cultural differences are visible, are they not already self-evident.

The origin is from a precursor to the American pledge of allegiance, created by a General George Thacher Balch, in order to help the children of immigrants integrate with those around them, and gain a sense of patriotism.

What can I say, political satire in the style of the day.

I couldn't understand the connection with balance and far-right. If we divide the all words as good and bad, balance would be in good side, for me.

but, it could be used by far right groups in USA.

I agree, cultural difference can't be stop. But, don't you think there is a problem?

I don't support any idea, but I want to find a way, so your question is excellent.

Can Multi-Culturalism enough for union of the country?

Every country needs some thing to support own unification.

But Melting Pot? Should all minorites and immigrant/refugees forget their own languages?

For example, native languages what we do about in this issue?

Doesn't American Spanish speaking population grow? What will happen after Spanish speaking population be more then English speakers?

I have read a news about Greece. Goverment have said that Turks can't open a nursery school, the idea about this is a Turkish boy who goes there, can't
adapted the primary school.

and I also have joined a conference about Armenians in Turkey, and Armenians complain about same issue.

so for me, there can be this type of minority nurseries but their one of the first priority, should be give two languages to children and help them to not face cultural shocks when they are in majority.

Multiculturalism is unstable. Sooner or later will fail, and will be replaced by oppressive regimes that will look for uniformity. Remember Al-Andalus.

Can you open it?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Also old Melting Pot Countries are changing. No one can say that now, great melting pot example USA is still same. It is more tolerated now, at least I am seeing like that from here.

Similarly, Atatürk's Turkey was also great example of melting pot and it was succesfull on Albanians, Bosnians, Caucausian Muslims, Tatars, Lazs, Muslim Georgians, but it failed with Kurds

so now my country is also turning to multi-culturalism.

and with increasing globalization, no one also stay in stick melting pot position.
