b) The United States known as the “Nation of Nations” because the country is made of many immigrants from different countries, and has since before the countries founding. Irish, Scots, Germans, Dutch, Swedes, French, Spanish, Afro-Americans and Native Americans, since the countries independence  65 million immigrant have arrived in the States.

c) You can view a nation as a community, where people are as one, they help and support each other, and people related by common values, language, history and others things such as territory. However, you have to be born in the territory to belong there.
You can also see a country as an association; you are not only born in it but you can also join it.  As members to serve one or more purposes created it, which others can join! The people in the association also follow a common set of goals and rules, being a member based on a choice and commitment.

d) Some people in a multiculturalism country mean that the diversity has gone too far. That too many immigrants have moved to a country like the United States and the UK and not assimilating, but carrying on their values in those countries. Non-multiculturalists believe that they are destroying the countries core values and traditions. They want to slow down immigration or stop it completely to insure a country of stability.

e) On the other hand, some mean the opposite, people carrying there personal values and cultures and adding to the country, they move to, this will make a more rich and diverse place to live. Smaller cultures should not just disappear into the masses; the same can be said about religion. This can lead to conflict between the government and people, defending their values even if it disagrees with the law or is borderline.

p.115 a) As the immigrants from the commonwealth arrived in the UK, they were met with prejudice, they often they could only get unskilled labour work that paid poorly. They lived in low cost housing in inner city areas and did not have good public services, esspecially in 
the 50's and 60's.                                       
                                                                                            
b) Many people from the New commonwealth in Britan feel and felt frustrated there because of discrimination, low paying jobs, bad housing, unemployment and high crime rate. This have led to riots and terrorists using their frustration for recruitment and further given birth to stereotypes, often against muslims.

c) But dispite the prejudice, immigrants have also enriched  British culture with food from Southern Asia, like curry. People with New commonwealth origin have also enriched writing, with many new authors bringing renouned books. Music have also been effected with new forms of music, such as reggae from the Caribbean and Hindu Fusion from India.

d) When people talk about  "state multiculturalism" they mean an end to people and communities that isolate themself in Britan behind multicultralism. They mean that the country is more like the salad bar consept, rather then the saladbowl.

e) The term "Beyond multicultralism" is a goal that people from the minorities and and the majority work toward. To create a place where both respect minor cultures and continuing to intergrate people in to the country.
