Melting Pot & Multiculturalism

At some point in our lives we have heard the term "melting pot", especially if you are an American. What exactly is a melting pot and what is the difference between a melting pot and multiculturalism? It is nearly impossible in modern times to be a homogenous society. If you enjoy different types of foods, music, art, landscape, clothing, etc., then forget about being homogenous. You cannot have it both ways. Sure, there may be comfort in sameness to some, however, what kind of growth and expansion does that offer? The knowledge of other cultures and traditions expands our minds and spirits as human beings. It demands compassion and understanding to that which may be unknown or feared due to the simple lack of knowledge. Our current reality is quite divided yet there just may be a remedy to heal this division if we all make some conscious efforts. Listen for yourself. You just may learn and thing or two.
