Multiethnic emphasizes a society composed of different ethnic and cultural groups. Multinational stresses the fact that society comprises individuals of different nationalities who even in legislation can be multinational through a double citizenship. The minority policy is the way of society to regulate and arrange the relations between the majority and minority. Integration Integration is a process in which immigrants participate in the economic, political and social life in society. They maintain and develop the issues they consider of importance for their own culture and ethnicity.
Integration requires adjusting both from the minority and the main population.
Displacement Displacement as defined by social policy means the accumulation of poverty and misfortune. In societies such as Finland, the basic scopes of marginalisation are displacement in education, production, consumption and in a social community. The displacement of an immigrant means the opposite of integration and on the one hand, it means the immigrant's estrangement from his own culture and on the other hand, leaving him outside the life of the main community. Assimilation Assimilation means the fact that an immigrant is expected to merge into the main culture. Tolerance Tolerance is absence of prejudice and openness combined with a healthy self-esteem and knowledge of one's own culture and the ability to absorb the new and the strange and react to it critically as well.
