Diversity And Recognition Of Multiculturality In Different Territories

Diversity and recognition of multiculturality in different territories

Introduction

Talking about multiculturalism is to address that it is the diversity and recognition given to it is through various contexts. This is one of the main struggles that people wrapped in it constantly face, I mean that multiculturalism is to recognize the different cultures that the territories possess, however it is common that these are not accepted or recognized by society, evenWe can talk about the discrimination suffered from the lack of acceptance.

Since I was little I had doubts about how “I am”, when I thought about how I managed to get where I am now, as I chose to fill my ideals, or at least think that I chose them, doubts that I believe many people have in their livesdaily when you simply see in the mirror, of course, I do not want to fall into generalization, but at least I think you think a little because we are like we are

Developing

To answer this we can start taking into account identity, what is identity? Or that we are supposed to believe or that I believe that it is the identity to be able to understand my doubts about what I am or we are. We will understand by identity the form or perception that other people have of ourselves, in this way we will recognize through the recognition that others give us. We form our identity through our features, our characteristics, the symbols, the collective memory we have.

Identity gives meaning to who we are and how we interact in the world since it gives us belonging to a group or community depending on the social representations and beliefs that we have.

He will always seek to be built on the other’s contrary since, when defining he will always seek difference then, we can identify it as the first expression of cultural pluralism, which promotes non -discrimination for reasons of race or social practices, the celebration or recognition of the cultural difference as wellas the right to her ”(González.2008: 25).

So, we can identify it as the first expression of cultural pluralism, which promotes non -discrimination for reasons of race or social practices, the celebration or recognition of cultural difference as well as the right to it ”(González.2008: 25). As the author González Ulloa mentions, identity is an important point to start highlightsince a sense of belonging and recognition in our cultural environment is generated.

"We are immersed in a sea of meanings, images and symbols. Everything has a meaning, sometimes widely shared, around us: our country, our family, our house, our garden, our car and our dog;Our place of study or work, our favorite music, our girlfriends, our friends and our entertainments;The public spaces of our city, our Church, our religious beliefs, our party and our political ideologies. And when we go on vacation, when we walk through the streets of the city or when we travel in the subway, it is as if we were swimming in a river of meanings, images and symbols. All this, and not anything else, are the culture or, more precisely, our cultural environment ”(Giménez.2012: 3)

Continuing with the discussion, another phenomenon that we must take into account is that of globalization, since although it does not seem like it, it is one of the causes, speaking in the results of unfavorable conditions to a considerable percentage of the human beings of the planet. The globalization, a phenomenon that exists since years ago and that develops in various ways depending on the context that analyzes it, we can say that they are economic, technological, social and political processes that seek global development by joining all countries

"The constitutional changes promoted by Latin American states to recognize ethnic diversity from the 80s and the" multiculturalist "turn of public policies that took place in some countries in the region in the 90s seemed to indicate that we were facing aComplex, contradictory and difficult to decipher phenomenon, which had no precedents in the continent. The changes promoted from the State and multilateral development banks to recognize ethnic identity as part of public policies in Latin America partly responded to the demands and long struggles of indigenous peoples and their allies. Therefore, they aroused high hopes and, in fact, in the 90s many activists working for indigenous rights were incorporated into the government spheres to work in the elaboration of new laws, policies and programs. However, for 2000 a disappointment was felt with the official multicultural policies of the previous decade or, rather, with the specific results of the promises of recognition ”(Sieder.2006: 157).

By taking into account how multiculturalism has been formed through the various phenomena and the recognition of identity, we can mention that it is the interculturality and functioning of this, since various scenarios can be observed where different cultures must coexist.

“Interculturality is always present when two or more societies with different cultures are related, either in a hostile or friendly way. Intercultural relationships are present at the same time of contact, even if they are superficial and indifferent, as in the case between Yoris and Yoremes, which are related to each other by the need to establish the basic communicative act to generate a type of type offorced interculturality that does not go beyond trivial relationships ”(Borboa.2006: 46)

Taking into account the conditions of the country and the large number of migrations that have been generated with the greatest impact today, we can assume that in a territory delimited two or even more cultures are related to each other, it is one of Latin Americans such a situation has aggravatedfor economic restructuring policies and structural adjustment that national governments have implemented under international pressure. These processes have meant an increase in poverty, a greater presence of multilateral organizations in the definition of state recognition policies and their scope, and keys to understanding the debate on multiculturalism in different Latin American countries such as Mexico ”(saw.2006: 59).

Mentioning what the author María Teresa Sierra proposes, I consider that it is importantsocial make use of normative referents to get out of disputes.

The analysis of the counter hegemony seems relevant to analyze reconfiguration in the systems of the social actors that are affected, to try to understand the reappropriation of any practice to resist before the westernist system that seeks to adapt them to the model of the Nation State with aSpeech for claim but without taking into account what they ask or need. “Until the 80s, most state policies in Latin America ignored the existence of indigenous peoples. These were essentially from monocultural states where the idea of integration to a national "development" model did not include recognition of cultural differences or, in most cases, a clear idea of redistribution of national income towards the most marginalized sectors. However, monocultural policies had different nuances. Some states- such as Guatemala- tried to forcefully integrate indigenous peoples into the National Development Model, which was highly exclusive, prohibiting in different periods their suit and language and militarizing their communities for the benefit of an agricultural elite thatexploited at their workforce. In other countries, particularly in Mexico, indigenist policies were implemented as part of a broader nationalist development project ”(Sieder.2006: 159)

conclusion

As final considerations I would like to resume interlegality, since when talking about this we must talk about multiculturalism which we can summarize that represents diversity, I refer to the coexistence of different cultures in the same territory and that this reaches differencespolicies. The concept can be referred to the variety that cultures present in society for this reason the legal pluralism is resumed, since the existence of multiple legal systems in the same territory is given, this implies that we must recognize the rightPositive, that is to say that of the State but at the same time the customary law, that of the indigenous communities that this can resume the main idea of this general analysis, which is, at least personally, the importance of recognition of cultural diversityThat there is globally, begin to see and accept that communities and practices can leave the idea that is accepted only from society, which is the western idea, this affects many communities since they resist leaving their identity to paveIn a model that is imposed in most of the time.

This idea would help to make visible more (I do not say that it is not done, I just feel that it lacks more strength) the injustices and inequalities that people constantly face by the rejection of societies. Maintaining their collective identity and belonging to a group gives them recognition among themselves, but that happens when society does not provide them, situations are generated where those affected and sadly seem to care enough to care enough.
