Should this be it's article?
[edit]This page is a section that is referred to very often, but doesn't have it's own article. Is it okay if perhaps I make this to an article? Now whenever you click a link in another section of Wikipedia, it redirects to "Multi-Cultureism" which may cause confusion to certain people — Preceding unsigned comment added by VikingChristmas (talk • contribs) 16:06, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
More Detail?
[edit]Quoting an article - "Monoculturalism as governance was eventually discredited for a variety of different reasons" (Siemiatycki 2012)[1] I'm curious as to the "variety of reasons"?Yonk (talk) 07:10, 9 April 2016 (UTC)
"...and regarded as a form of cultural decay."
[edit]By whom? And how does that authority successfully equate preserving a culture with "cultural decay"? Inquring minds want to know.209.242.149.240 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 19:59, 1 November 2017 (UTC)
"via the exclusion of external influences. Japan, South Korea, and North Korea are examples" !?
[edit]The article currently says "Rather than the suppression of different ethnic groups within a given society, sometimes monoculturalism manifests as the active preservation of a country's national culture via the exclusion of external influences. Japan, South Korea, and North Korea are examples of this form of monoculturalism" North Korea is an example of such exclusion, but Japan and South Korea hardly exclude foreign cultural influences. For example, English is HUGE is Japan, as is baseball and football. Japan and South Korea might be less ethnically diverse than other nations, but to state they are examples of monocultures due to the exclusion of external influences just doesn't seem supportable. ~2026-36107-39 (talk) 08:33, 21 June 2026 (UTC)
