INTER-ETHNIC RELATION IN A MULTI-ETHNIC SOCIETY

Abstract

The relationship between various ethnic groups in a pluralistic society is quite parallel with how two or more ethnicities relate in societies compare to where the ethnic groups are two or three. The idea of avoiding conflicts, and tying unity, harmony and peace may be hard to sense. Scholars of Sociology have identified some factors to which multiethnic environment would be peaceful and livable, raising the topic that concerns inter-ethnic relation to align with the concept of culture, social identity, economic political and issues. These terms all have their particular influences on how multiethnic society would be, either a land of peace or its opposite. This study precisely analyzes and lays description to what factors relatively have influence towards the relationship of many ethnic groups in a multiethnic society. The paper studies the fact that culture may have its role on how many ethnic groups live in a single society, while social identity political as well as economic factors matter in formation of inter-ethnic relations in a pluralistic society.
