When a person moves to a new country, they are often forced to choose between one of two cultures. When I say this I speak from experience because on many occasions I had to choose which side I wanted to be on. Some people choose one culture over the other, but most become multicultural. Few people believe that being of two cultures is a negative thing. I however, believe that coming in contact with two cultures can have an extremely positive effect on a person.
Some people believe that being multicultural is a mostly negative experience.
Being from different cultures can also expose a person to some forms of discrimination. People can loose jobs and other opportunities because of their background. Personally I have not experienced any negative effects of being multicultural. There are several reasons why I feel that being multicultural is an advantage and not a handicap. The main reason however, is the ability to tolerate different cultures.
