4. Multiculturalism vs Melting Pot
The dominant culture absorbs the other cultures. The less dominant cultures adopt the culture of the dominant group. Therefore smaller cultures lose their cultural identity
 Soup
- Veggies cut up and cooked together blended
- Don’t really taste the individuals ingredients
 Multiculturalism
Culture groups retain much of what is important to their culture, at the same time; they adopt aspects of the dominant culture
Salad
Can still taste each individual part of salad
