ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts covered in the preceding chapters of this book. The book discusses that multiculturalism has been strongest in Canada, while multiculturalism is fluctuating in many other countries, and the influx of immigrants who were expected to assimilate into the mainstream culture meant that governments deemed multiculturalism policies unnecessary. Globalisation has produced a new world that has increased the number of nation-states in the global political system and altered the porous borders between them. The lack of a specific definition for multiculturalism means that multiculturalism can change with differing attitudes in different countries. In Australia and Canada, multiculturalism does not include indigenous peoples, and indigenous groups refuse to be encompassed by multiculturalism. Australia, Canada, the UK and the US are destinations for immigrants from various countries around the world. As a result, while most people in Australia, Canada, the UK and the US speak English, all these countries are linguistically diverse.
