An inclusive approach that allows religious or ethnic groups to maintain their distinctive cultures within a mainstream society. Through the use of reserve land Canadian aboriginal peoples were allowed to keep their religion. African tribes are also allowed to keep their religion.

Front 8

Hybridization

Back 8

The blending of media and communications technologies resulting in new modes of expression and cross-cultural consumption. Facebook is used by everyone in the world.

Front 9

Diversification

Back 9

The act or practice of manufacturing a variety of products, investing in a variety of securities, selling a variety of merchandise, etc., so that a failure in or an economic slump affecting one of them will not be disastrous.
