Multicultural society

A multicultural society is a society of people from different religions and backgrounds living in an area. These people many be different skin colours or from a different country.

Comparing the two

These two are similar to each other because they live in the same area and have the same reason for living in the area as everyone else that lives there. They all want the same goal and to live in the best way they can.

These two are different because they have different beliefs and they have different cultures, they may also speak different languages.

Asians- The first Asians coming in to Britain were liked because they brought new life to Britain, different ideas from their culture which were interesting to the people of Britain. Then there was a hate period after the 11th September terrorist attacks and the 7th July London bombings, because they terrorists were from the Muslim culture.

Long term relationship with the people of Britain

Caribbean- At first they were liked because they made a good difference to the country, they brought new ideas and a different style of life. Then as more Caribbean’s came over to Britain the people who already lived in Britain became wary and they isolated them. As they came more into society people started to accept them and welcomed their new ideas.

Eastern Europeans- When new countries entered the European Union in 2004 that enabled people of them countries to move freely across Europe and due to this the majority moved to Britain. At first people didn’t think much of it but at the moment people are still accepting them into the community.

Benefits to Britain

Due to around 50 years of Britain bringing in different cultures from places like Eastern Europe the country has benefited massively. Firstly, there new food products which are now extremely popular in Britain, foods like Chinese food, Curries, Pizza, Pasta and sea food dishes. Additionally they have brought over new styles of clothes which have interested British citizens and have made money from selling the clothes.

Accessibility within a certain public service in the community

I will be looking at the police force and how they have become more accessible in the community they serve.

In the past the police force weren’t accessible within the community much, they were only accessible to some parts of the community and not all. E.g. the police were only really accessible within the White British community and they weren’t really reaching the newer part of the community like the Asians and Eastern Europeans.

Over the last few years the police have become more accessible to all the community in several ways. Firstly they have tried there best to recruit different ethnic minorities; they have set aims to recruit a certain amount of different minorities. The police have tried recruiting by using multilingual information and posters. Using multilingual information will prove that the police are appealing to more ethnic minorities and more importantly people from all cultures will be able to understand what the information says.

This helps the police force because there a many different cultures now in the force, so if a problem occurs they will have the right person for the job. Similar people from cultures will understand more and communicate more. E.g. If the police were called to deal with a group of Asians then the group will be more likely to communicate with an Asian officer rather than a White British officer. This helps the police force to do there job easier and more effectively.

In the police there are now policies which they try to abide by. E.g. they have set a target to recruit a certain percentage of ethnic minorities by a certain year. This would have a positive effect to Britain which I have talked about above.

User Friendly Service

User Friendly basically means easy to operate, or deal with. Also it means something that is designed to be easily understood by people with little previous experience or knowledge.

The police have provided a user friendly service by making posters and distributing them, making people more confident in the community. Another way the police have provided more of a user friendly service is to employ representatives within the community which can communicate with many cultures and speak in their language.

Overall I think the police have done well in providing a user friendly service, I think they have done well in employing representatives within each community to provide more of a user friendly service. Additionally, there have been a few problems on the way to achieving their goal, like trying to communicate to the community and basically get on their side.

There could still be some improvements made to provide a more user friendly service, firstly they could do more to employ people which can communicate in many languages and can communicate too many cultures, also actually have some knowledge of the culture.

The police have made plans to improve things in the future, basically carry on with what there doing but introduce it into more communities, also they have set targets to recruit more ethnic minorities within the police force, which I have talked about above.

Overall I think what the police have done has been a success, they have attempted to communicate and understand all sections of the community in many different ways, I feel what they have done has been a success. They have tried to understand the community in some of the following ways:
