    In a multicultural community, conflicts are more likely due to differences in group identities shaped by cultural values and histories as well as perceptions of power between groups. These identities include race, ethnicity, gender, religion and socioeconomic status. A history of discrimination between cultural groups and misinformed stereotypes perpetuated by prejudiced attitudes can also cause issues. Stereotypes overgeneralize traits of groups and ignore diversity, potentially leading to biases, misunderstandings and discrimination.

    PROBLEMS IN MULTICULTURALISM

    In a diverse community composed of two or more ethnic, or cultural groups, conflicts are more likely to
    occur because of:
    1. Differences in group identity, which is shaped by the group's cultural values, history,
    socioeconomic status, and perceived power.
     Examples of social identity include: race, ethnicity, gender, sex, socioeconomic status,
    sexual orientation, age, religion/religious beliefs, national origin, and emotional,
    developmental disabilities and abilities.

    2. History of hostile interaction and discrimination.


     Cultural discrimination is when a person Is treated less favorably because of their
    culture.

    3. Misinformed stereotypes and perceptions caused by prejudiced attitudes and other external
    influences.

     These stereotypes often oversimplify and generalize the traits, behaviors, or


    characteristics of individuals within that group, ignoring the diversity and uniqueness of
    each person. Stereotypes can perpetuate biases, reinforce prejudices, and contribute
    to misunderstandings and discrimination.
