Multicultural Experience Analysis

Personal Experiences in Singapore

In the process of analyzing Singapore, I have noted several things. It is dominated by several ethnic groups that include Chinese, Malays, Indians, people from Europe and UK, Germany, France and other countries of the world. It is thus a multicultural society with the interaction of varying aspects of the cultures. I noted that the numerous immigrants in Singapore affected the social life. Singapore is a pluralistic society hence people from different cultures interact. To me, this offers a learning process through the process of interaction (Noor & Leong, 2013). For instance, I have succeeded in experiencing the different food cuisines that are offered in most of the restaurants. It was not surprising seeing tourists and foreigners ordering local cuisines such as Nasi Lemak among others. The concept of multiculturalism in Singapore thus helps people to experience new things and ways of doing things.

It is not surprising to see the Chinese celebrating their new year as per their calendar while people from other communities and races gladly join in. I have since learnt that it is such bonds that make the multicultural aspect of Singapore unique and appealing to foreigners (Distefano & Ekelund, 2015). Moreover, I have noted that through such integration of culture, the government has successfully managed to foster peaceful coexistence. Law and order are thus maintained through the concept of multiculturalism as people feel accepted, and they often welcome each other to their society. I have thus learned that multiculturalism in society is essential for peaceful coexistence as well helping create a harmonious society. Besides, I am now able to understand the reason why so many foreigners can be seen visiting Singapore. The mere fact that they can experience and practice their cultures within the country without restrictions is a crucial factor to that
