THBT the government should protect the minority group"s culture

Despite hanwoo's tactical decision to avoid affirming the resolution, I cannot give up a turn to bypass making arguments, else I will only be responding in the last round (which is unfair to Pro). Hence, despite the BoP still not being fulfilled by Pro, I will still make arguments.Negation CaseA1: People prefer other people of the same culture; having different cultural identities creates disunityIIn his novel,On genetic interests: family, ethny, and humanity in an age of mass migration, Frank Salter argues that“Relatively homogeneous societies invest more in public goods, indicating a higher level of public altruism”[1]. The argument is there which shows cultural factors to be of relevance in regards to a stable/loving/caring community.As an example, further on in the novel, specifically on page 123, “…it follows that adaptive ethic nepotism not only selects for ethnic altruism, but for all gene-based characteristics distinctive to the group. This applies not only to traits with high heritability, such as cognitive profile…but to cultural traits passed on through socialization within the family…such as political culture” [2].In English, what this means is that people are more likely to get along, be nice to each other and be more charitable if the other people are of the same culture.IITo further support this conclusion, Professor J.P. Rushton, in his research paper,Ethnic nationalism, evolutionary psychology and Genetic Similarity Theory,found that spouse and best friend relationships were influenced by ‘opinions and attitudes’ with a correlation of 0.5, with other factors like ‘physical appearance’ only at 0.2. Only ‘age, ethnicity and education’ scoring higher (0.6) [3]. This means that for relationships of value, people are definitely basing relationships on cultural factors (i.e. opinions and attitudes).IIIImplicit Egotism isthe way in which people gravitate towards places, people and situations that reflect themselves [4].Implicit Egotism, as explored in a multi-academic circle by John T. Jones (United States Military Academy), Brett W. Pelham and Mauricio Carvallo (State University of New York at Buffalo) and Matthew C. Mirenberg (Columbia University), shows “…[the research paper’s] evidence suggests that implicit egotism is a valid and replicable phenomenon that influences people’s choice of a lifelong romantic partner in much the same way that it influences their evaluations of a stranger on a semantic differential” [4]. As indicated in J.P Rushton’s work, people will treat strangers (effectively other members of the community) differently based on their culture.Therefore, on average, the absence of cultural similarity creates more disunity than the presence of it, and this will generally make people less happy, friendly, altruistic and trusting of each other than would be found in a culturally homogeneous community.A2: The more extreme impact of culturally divided nations Let me be clear before I make this argument: I do not hate Muslims or Islam. I am merely showing you that Islamic culture struggles to assimilate into different countries, and vice versa. It is a great example of what happens when cultural tensions are high. Cultural differences can create outright hatred between people. Consider the relationship between Muslim groups and some parts of the rest of the world. In a specific example, “41% of the general public in Spain says most or many Muslims in their country support Islamic extremists. But just 12% of Spain’s Muslims say most or many of the country’s Muslims support extremists like Al Qaeda” [5]. See the high tension? Other examples of serious problems is that in 2006, “29% of Jordanians view[ed] suicide attacks as often or sometimes justified” [5]. Another statistic from 2006, “61% of Nigeria’s Muslims say they have at least some confidence in bin Laden” [5]. Have a look at what these statistics do to the relationship between Muslims and Westerners: It is not that either culture is inferior. It is not that some Muslims and some Westerners cannot be friendly to each other. It is that these cultures living together cause serious damage. Recently, it only took one Islamic Extremist to bring Sydney to a standstill [6]. It is differing cultures that create these atrocities C1: Different cultures creates negativesIf the government of any country decides to "protect the minority culture", the government will be doing the entire nation a disservice by encouraging tension, distrust, unfriendliness etc., as well as more extreme ill-feelings amongst its citizens. Therefore, the government should not protect the minority's culture, but instead should protect cultural homogeneity. The resolution is negated.References:[1] http://books.google.com.au...[2] http://books.google.com.au...[3] http://www.euvolution.com...[4] http://new.dixie.edu...[5] http://www.pewglobal.org...[6] http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au...
