NordenBladet – His Royal Highness Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark will lead a large Danish-Greenlandic delegation promoting Greenland’s business community during the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) convention in Toronto, Canada. The convention, which is one of the world’s leading conventions in the mining industry, attracts upwards of 26,000 guests from 125 countries. During the visit, HRH The Crown Prince will also promote Danish architecture and the Danish design approach to urban development.
HRH The Crown Prince will visit the international mining convention PDAC in Toronto March 3-4, 2019. The visit will be the Kingdom of Denmark’s largest export promotion involving the Greenland Business Association. HRH The Crown Prince will be joined by the Government of Greenland’s Minister of Mineral Resources and Labour Erik Jensen; the Danish Minister for Energy, Utilities and Climate Lars Christian Lilleholt; the Confederation of Danish Industry; the Greenland Business Association; and more than 30 Danish and Greenlandic companies in showcasing Greenland as a mining destination.
The Greenlandic and Danish companies represent various business sectors including transportation, energy, logistics, insurance, and telecommunication and consultancy. The participating companies are part of the value chain of the mining industry and other industries in the Arctic.
HRH The Crown Prince will inaugurate the Danish-Greenlandic booth on the first day of the convention and meet representatives from Danish and Greenlandic companies. On the second day, HRH The Crown Prince will give the opening speech at the “Greenland Day” event, which highlights Greenland’s geological potential for mineral extraction and the possibilities in Greenland for foreign investors.
During the visit, HRH The Crown Prince will also take part in business events focusing on urban development and architecture, including the “Open Architecture Exhibition”, where Danish architects will present North America’s highest non-encapsulated office building constructed in wood. HRH The Crown Prince will also attend a large conference where five Danish architectural firms will present a Danish design approach to urban development and city architecture.
The export promotion will conclude with a Denmark & Greenland in Canada reception.
NordenBladet – On the morning of 5 February, the Supreme Court en banc appointed the new Chairman of the Civil Chamber. This occurred due to the former Chairman of the Civil Chamber of the Supreme Court, Villu Kõve, being appointed as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court en banc decided to assign the position of Chairman of the Civil Chamber to Peeter Jerofejev, a long-serving justice of the Supreme Court. Jerofejev considers it crucial to maintain the consistency of the Chamber’s work. ‘In a situation where two more justices out of a total of seven are about to leave the Chamber, in addition to Villu Kõve, we must make sure that the Chamber’s good work continues at the present level,’ he said.
The Chairman of the Chamber is appointed by the Supreme Court en banc from among the members of the Chamber for a term of five years. The Chairman of the Chamber performs duties that arise from the internal rules of the Supreme Court.
NordenBladet – On 31 January, the Riigikogu released the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Priit Pikamäe from office and appointed Villu Kõve to this position. Kõve assumed the office of Chief Justice on 4 February.
In a secret ballot, 65 members supported the proposal of President Kersti Kaljulaid to appoint the former Chairman of the Civil Chamber, Villu Kõve, as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Nobody voted against the proposal, one member remained impartial and nine abstained.
The term of office for the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court is nine years.
NordenBladet – The Norwegian Film Institute pays over NOK 47 million NOK (5.5 million USD) to get James Bond 25 to be filmed in Norway, through the state incentive scheme. It is the largest award for an international production ever, NRK reports.
– We are pleased that the filming of the James Bond 25, could be done in Norway. The grant we offer for the filming, NOK 47 million, is the largest in the incentive scheme’s history, says department director Stine Helgeland for international relations in the Norwegian Film Institute.

Bond 25 is the working title of the twenty-fifth film in the James Bond series produced by EON Productions for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. Like several previous films, Bond 25 will be written by Neal Purvis and Robert Wade and will feature actor Daniel Craig in his fifth and final performance as James Bond. The film will be directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga, with a projected release date of 14th February 2020.
NordenBladet —At their meeting in Helsinki on Friday 25 January, the Prime Ministers and ministers responsible for climate issues of the Nordic countries decided to speed up their climate actions. The Nordic countries aim to follow the 1.5 Degree Report released by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change IPCC in October even more closely when deciding on their policies. To tackle the climate crisis, the countries will raise the level of their climate ambition by 2020 and aim to achieve carbon neutrality sooner than other countries.
”We want to show Nordic leadership and set an example. The Nordic countries are taking the IPCC’s 1.5 Degree Report very seriously, and we will also base our policies on this”, Prime Minister Juha Sipilä says.
According to the joint declaration given by the countries, cooperation will be increased in disseminating Nordic emissions abatement solutions, developing of technologies such as those for carbon capture and storage (CCS), curbing emissions in the transport sector, and maintaining and enhancing carbon sinks. The countries will also enhance their joint climate diplomacy and look for means to facilitate climate-friendly consumer choices.
“Together we are more than a sum of our parts. This is equally true with respect to making an impact on international forums and in developing and disseminating technology solutions. We have the expertise that we can – and are obliged to – offer even more effectively to be used by the rest of the world”, says Minister of the Environment, Energy and Housing Kimmo Tiilikainen.
The Nordic ministers were invited to Helsinki by Prime Minister Juha Sipilä and Minister of the Environment, Energy and Housing Kimmo Tiilikainen. The progress of the measures included in the Declaration and the follow-up procedures will be discussed at the Nordic climate ministers’ meeting in October 2019.

NordenBladet – How to become part of the elite* class? Whether you have an idea you want to turn into a business, a startup you need funding for, a partnership you want to secure, or a dream job you’d love to have; all of these things require getting into the winner’s circle. Get to know the elite community & learn how to make important connections with influential people!
1. Stop waiting to be rescued from financial mediocrity
The average person has been brainwashed to believe rich people are fortunate or dishonest. Stop believing self-made millionaires are just lucky. Being rich has very little to do with luck and everything to do with habits. Start believing you are worth every euro you earn and more. Start first believing in yourself!
The middle class lives in a perpetual waiting game for outside forces to come to their aid and grant their every wish. They are operating at a level of consciousness that encourages them to passively wait for life to improve. The hero they are waiting for may be G-d, government, their boss, or their spouse. It’s the average person’s level of thinking that breeds this approach.
Start creating a daily plan of action that will move you closer to building financial independence. The rich are savvier about money because they follow a plan of action, not because they are more intelligent. They don’t wait for their ship to come in. They build their own ship.
2. Start thinking or start thinking more
The rich know their most valuable asset is their ability to think, and because they use their mental powers so often, they become very good at it. Build your thinking muscles by pushing yourself every day to solve new problems that are directly related to amassing wealth. Creativity is critical to financial success!
3. Utilize your network
This sounds overly obvious, but you would be surprised how much people under-utilize their own personal and professional network. Even if it is not a strong connection, just knowing the same people or person opens the door much better than having zero shared contacts. Preferably, you want someone who your target also knows who can vouch for you (ideally, more than just one reference actually). If that is not possible, use whatever first, second, or third degree contacts to help you get that introduction, not matter how small.
Whether it is an investor, executive, or other successful winner’s circle member, they are always looking to meet anyone doing something interesting. They wouldn’t be where they are if they weren’t open to new and promising opportunities.
4. Be prepared, make sure you are ready
First, make sure that this is actually the right time to make your way into the winner’s circle. If you’re not taking care of you, you’re not in a position to help anyone else and you’re not in a position to sell your ideas. Members of the millionaire’s circle could be industry leaders or high-net worth individuals – whom are respected and esteemed – and have a network that you can’t put a price on. Because of the pull and influence someone in the winner’s circle may have, it is critical you impress them. Too often, there are stories of entrepreneurs who make great impressions and have a great idea, but they used their network, resources, and energy to secure a meeting of any sorts way too early.
If your “target” thinks that there is even a small chance that you have something worthwhile, he or she will ask to meet with you. This is one major reason you need to ensure that your social media accounts come off respectable – without anything that could damage your image – and also do your best to ensure your profile most accurately reflects the impression you want to make.
5. Don’t hit up everyone at once
What happens when you text 10 girls all at once who are all friends and hanging out with each other at the time when they receive your text? If they were going to respond to you initially, they certainly wont now. Getting into the winner’s circle is the same way. Don’t contact six guys who are all friends, work at the same firm, or partners in any way. You will be embarrassed. Contact each person individually one at a time. If they decline, go on to the next one. It is always great to have multiple contacts within a circle, but you need to know how to utilize your network the right way.
6. Don’t be discouraged, just try again
Take advantage of the feedback they give you – find out why they declined and then fix it, because the next winner’s circle target you pursue will probably find the same defect. 99% of these people will be open to meeting or talking to you again in the future, so make sure not to burn ay bridges. Once you have bettered whatever it is you bring to the table, contact them again. There are a ton of cases where entrepreneurs get shut down the first time, but then after some hard work they are accepted the second time and go on to reach great success.
Remember, the wealthy focus on earning! In the minds of millionaires, leverage is everything. The wealthy strategically focus their efforts on the most profitable areas of their businesses while leveraging their contacts, credibility, and resources to maximize the results of every action they take. The middle class sees hard work as a badge of honor. The wealthy sees success as a more important badge of honor. There is no limit to ideas; therefore, there is no limit to how much money they can earn. Rich people use other people’s money as well. So never be afraid or belittle yourself.
! Rich people have an action mentality… while average people have a lottery mentality.

NordenBladet – I have noticed that the larger my ambitions, the better the luck that accompanies me in pursuing them. It is almost a pattern already – great plans are successful and smaller plans fail. Perhaps the reason for that is taking greater plans more seriously and passionately. Greater plans tend to seem so huge and unattainable at first so that it makes me feel I need to prove to myself and others that it still is possible to accomplish them.
I like challenges. I work at an augmented speed once I have a goal in front of my eyes. This is quite common for me to set such an enormous goal that most people will find it laughable. It is a pity that people will ridicule great plans and projects, belittle them and counteract them just for the sake of comfort. Of course, there is rarely an entrepreneur without a single instance of a plan going awry and failing, and oh my what extensive (malicious) joy it causes when you should fail at some point. Then you can be completely sure that there will be thorough media coverage and talk. It it quite amazing how glad it can make people to see the misfortune of others. But along the years I have grown used to that. Mostly it has been so that the more active the hindrance and the malicious joy, the more enthusiastically and innovatively I rush towards the enterprise. It is actually easier to tackle a larger issue rather than a smaller one. Why? Because subconsciously people wish to see those who accomplish something big. First they laugh, later they follow or copy.
Upon concluding some deal, have you ever asked for an amount of money so big that it is almost awkward? Have you put on the table an idea so mad that just the madness of it creates interest? I have, and just today I pondered that the big and crazy plans have mostly been accomplished while the smaller, dime-scale projects linger on and fade without reaction. I like the enterprises that most people are scared of completing. I like the plans that even scare myself a bit. Yet I like to grow in an organic way and without taking risks. I do not like living from debt. I make great plans with the finances I do not yet possess, yet I do not use the money that isn’t there yet. I do not like taking monetary risks. However, I do like to risk with fierce ideas and develop various win-win collaboration projects.
Today´s success motto! If you wish to be Great and wish to do Great things —
you need great and open minded (even little crazy) people around you! People, who believe in the beauty of their dreams! – Helena-Reet
These are my 9 guidelines to help your grand projects succeed
– THE CRUCIAL POINT: make sure that the project that you wish to carry out is instructive and helpful-beneficial for the earth-humanity, that you would grow as a person while working on it
– Your great idea will lack weight if you do not carry it out. It is always many times more difficult to carry out the ideas that to invent them.
– Talk about your idea, advertise it (don’t worry that it could be stolen, since as I mentioned in the previous point, it is more difficult to carry out than to come up with the idea. A good idea is the one that goes hand in hand with a vision about how to carry it out.
– Don’t chicken out before the fact that you intend to build a billion euro enterprise and you lack a million euros of spare money. There is a lot of money in the world.
– Be consistent and confident. If you have faith in your project then do everything necessary to accomplish it.
– Do not rely on debt while building your enterprise. The more organic the growth of your enterprise, the more peaceful your sleep during the night and the less your plan will suffer during economic crises.
– Find allies and business partners.
– Give back to the world… it is only worth doing what is good! When the people and the society do not grow and develop, then the plan is not sustainable. Should you wish to accomplish something really big then keep in mind that big action begins with little changes. You can be the one that brings the ends of the chain together.
– Do not mind losing, don’t be scared that you could be laughed at. There is always a flock of seagulls shrieking near big boats. It can happen that once in a while a boat will sink, set your mind at peace with this. If you lose, don’t lose the lesson.
My latest big enterprise has been the creation of the brand Elisheva & Shoshana (E&S). It has been a great success and a good example that everything is possible! There is still a long way to be among the top cosmetics brands such as Estee Lauder, Olay, Lancome, Biore, Shiseido, Dove, Neutrogena etc, however a strong start has been carried into effect. Within a few months, besides the selling centres in Finland and Sweden, we have started building sales network also in Estonia. Certainly it would be easier for me to begin with this kind of enterprises than it would be for most other people, since I have several million readers on the pages of NordenBladet and OHMYGOSSIP as well as in social media – this equals to daily six-language free powerful media channel.
Elisheva & Shoshana handmade soaps and bath salts are proudly standing next to Scandinavian top brands, in February we will also launch body and scalp sprays and there is at this moment the development of shampoos, conditioners and liquid soaps already in progress! It is a luxury to be leading a feminine line of business as this is, doing good to own family as well as many people in the world. I stand for an unpolluted earth, for a healthier life! We position us in the category of luxury cosmetics (luxury care cosmetics), since our marketing argument is the quality and efficiency of the products. While my younger daughter Ivanka Shoshana is an autist and sensitive to various products and I am myself also sensitive towards several scented products, then one of our goals is to offer nature friendly care cosmetics that suits also those of us with a sensitive skin and a sensitive scalp. A majority of the raw material and herbs are grown in our own private gardens! Today I ordered 10 000 new packages! The measures and numbers are escalating so that I even need to pintch myself to believe it! Such a success! I am so grateful that I can work on the things that matter to me and constitute a challenge!
Helena-Reet: MY JOURNEY TOWARDS BECOMING A BILLIONAIRE or How to join the world’s most elite group of people?
In the world people are desiring the status of a billionaire instead of that of a millionaire – in order to belong to the top notch you must be a billionaire. There is one billionaire for every million people in the world. In 2014 the number of billionaires increased 7% and the elite list embraced 2325 people, in 2017 according to Forbes there were 2043 billionaires. How can you become one? Lets have a wider look and dig into statistics – what does one need to become a billionaire?
NordenBladet – Having had our breakfast in Kajaani (read HERE) we started off towards Kuopio. To my mind, travelling by car is pure luxury – you are not bound by time limits, the cars will carry all your belongings, you can stop wherever you please, etc. Extremely comfortable and maintains the privacy.. You need not be seated next to a stranger like on the airbus, wait in the airport check-in line, etc.
From Kajaani through Sukeva, Soinlahti, Iisalmi, Peltosalmi, Kirma, Nerkoo, Lapinlahti, Mäntylahti, Alapitkä, Pöljä, Aappola, Siilinjärvi and Sorsasalo it is 170 km vi E63 road to Kuopio (ca 2 hours driving).
With its 118 434 inhabitants Kuopio is today the ninth biggest town in Finland. The Swedish lord and governer Per Brahe the Younger founded Kuopio town in the year 1653, yet officially Kuopio was recognized as a town from November 1775 on when the Swedish king Gustav III insisted on recognizing Kuopio as a town. Almost a quarter of the territory of Kuopio is covered by water bodies and half is covered by forest – thus the overall impression is very beautiful. I really like nature! Kuopio also enjoys having a lovely old town (a nice market place, an interesting market and a historical city hall). We spent two days with children in Kuopio. I had booked Sokos Puijonsarvi for two nights, but the children wanted so much to visit the SPA (we hadn’t visited a SPA already for a while… haha) and so I cancelled one reservation and we went to Rauhalahti SPA for one night. Kids were clapping their hands from joy and we did have a very pleasant evening.
On the second day we went shopping in Kuopio city center (I bought a short coat, a jacket, two cardigans and a new travel case), we were looking around to find new business partners for the cosmetics brand Elisheva & Shoshana (currently we are negotiating with a city center boutique… so probably soon one can purchase E&S handmade cosmetics products also from Kuopio!), then I also met an old friend of mine and in the evening we took photos with Estella Elisheva in Puijonsarvi Hotel for OHMYGOSSIP Teen in Ohmygossip Couture tank tops. I hope to upload the gallery soon enough.
There are various sightseeings in Kuopio, so it will depend on what one wishes to see. The best known sightseeings are for example the 75m high Puijo Tower with its rotating restaurant that accommodates 100 guests, designed by the architect Seppo Ruotsalainen (Puijontie 135, 70300) and Kuopio Art Museum (Kuopion taidesmuseo – Kauppakatu 35, 70100). We were already rather fed up with new information and all the sightseeings, so we simply enjoyed our vacation. It would have been great to visit Joensuu that is located east from Kuopio and Ilomantsi that is quite close to the Russian border, but we kind od started missing home and thus decided not to expand our travel route any further. We had covered 3000 kilometres already! In the next around-Finland blog already new towns and new cool experiences!

NordenBladet – Kuressaare (also known as Arensburg, is a town and a municipality on Saaremaa island in Estonia. It is the capital of Saare County and the westernmost town in Estonia. The recorded population on 1 January 2018 was 13,276. The town is situated on the coast of the Gulf of Riga and is served by the Kuressaare Airport, Roomassaare Harbor, and Kuressaare Yacht Harbor.
Its historic name Arensburg renders the Latin denotation arx aquilae for the city’s castle. The fortress and the eagle, tetramorph symbol of Saint John the Evangelist, are also depicted on Kuressaare’s coat of arms.
The town, which grew around the fortress, was simultaneously known as Arensburg and Kuressaarelinn; the latter name being a combination of Kuressaare—an ancient name of the Saaremaa Island—and linn, which means town. Eventually, the town’s name shortened to Kuressaare and became official in 1918 after Estonia had declared its independence from Bolshevist Russia. Under the Soviet rule, the town was renamed Kingissepa in 1952; after the Bolshevik Kuressaare-native Viktor Kingissepp executed in 1922. The name Kuressaare was restored in 1990.
The town first appeared on maps around 1154. The island of Saaremaa (German, Swedish: Ösel) was conquered by the Livonian Brothers of the Sword under Volkwin of Naumburg in 1227, who merged with the Teutonic Knights shortly afterwards. The first documentation of the castle (arx aquilae) was found in Latin texts written in 1381 and 1422. Over time, a town, which became known as Arensburg or Kuressaarelinn, grew and flourished around the fortress. It became the see of the Bishopric of Ösel-Wiek established by Albert of Riga in 1228, part of the Terra Mariana.
Johann von Münchhausen, bishop since 1542, converted to Protestantism. With the advance of the troops of Tsar Ivan IV of Russia in the course of the Livonian War, Münchhausen sold his lands to King Frederick II of Denmark in 1559 and returned to Germany. Frederick sent his younger brother Prince Magnus to Kuressaare where he was elected bishop the following year. It was through his influence that the city obtained its civic charter in 1563, modeled after that of Riga . The bishopric was finally secularised in 1572 and Kuressaare fell to the Danish Crown.
In 1645, it passed to Swedish control through the Treaty of Brömsebro after the Danish defeat in the Torstenson War. Queen Christina of Sweden granted her favourite, Magnus Gabriel de la Gardie, the title of Count of Arensburg, the German and Swedish name for Kuressaare at that time. The city was burnt to the ground by Russian troops in 1710 during the Great Northern War and suffered heavily from the plague. Abandoned by the Swedes it was incorporated into the Governorate of Livonia of the Russian Empire through the Treaty of Nystad in 1721.
During the 19th century Kuressaare became a popular seaside resort on the Baltic coast. During World War I, between September and October 1917, German land and naval forces occupied Saaremaa with Operation Albion. During World War II, the Battle of Tehumardi took place. In October 1990, Kuressaare was the first town in Estonia to regain its self-governing status.
The medieval episcopal Kuressaare Castle today houses the Saaremaa Regional Museum. The original wooden castle was constructed between 1338 and 1380, although other sources claim a fortess was built in Kuressaare as early as 1260. In 1968, architect Kalvi Aluve began studies on Kuressaare Castle.
The town hall was originally built in 1654, and restored, retaining classicist and baroque features. It was last restored in the 1960s with dolomite stairs at the front. St Nicolaus Church was built in 1790.
The annual Saaremaa Opera Days (Saaremaa Ooperipäevad) have been held in Kuressaare each summer since 1999. Other festivals include Kuressaare Chamber Music Days (Kuressaare Kammermuusika Päevad), held since 1995 and Kuressaare Maritime Festival (Kuressaare Merepäevad), held since 1998.
Kuressaare also hosts the FC Kuressaare football club.
NordenBladet – Sweden was the first country to adopt an official policy of multiculturalism in Europe. In May 1975, a unanimous Swedish parliament passed an act on a new multiculturalist immigrant and ethnic minority policy put forward by the social democratic government, that explicitly rejected the ideal ethnic homogeneity and the policy of assimilation. The three main principles of the new policy were equality, partnership and freedom of choice.
The explicit policy aim of the freedom of choice principle was to create the opportunity for minority groups in Sweden to retain their own languages and cultures. From the mid-1970s, the goal of enabling the preservation of minorities and creating a positive attitude towards the new officially endorsed multicultural society among the majority population became incorporated into the Swedish constitution as well as cultural, educational and media policies. Despite the anti-multiculturalist protestations of the Sweden Democrats, multiculturalism remains official policy in Sweden.
A 2008 study which involved questionnaires sent to 5,000 people, showed that less than a quarter of the respondents (23%) wanted to live in areas characterised by cultural, ethnic and social diversity.
A 2014 study published by Gävle University College showed that 38% of the population never interacted with anyone from Africa and 20% never interacted with any non-Europeans. The study concluded that while physical distance to the country of origin, also religion and other cultural expressions are significant for the perception of cultural familiarity. In general, peoples with Christianity as the dominant religion were perceived to be culturally closer than peoples from Muslim countries.
A 2017 study by Lund University also found that social trust was lower among people in regions with high levels of past non-Nordic immigration than among people in regions with low levels of past immigration. The erosive effect on trust was more pronounced for immigration from culturally distant countries.
How do Scandinavians feel about a multicultural Scandinavia in the future? Here are also some thoughts by Kjell Andersson, who answered to this question in Quora.
Aspects of Swedish culture
Consider the state as a clan. All loyalty that clan members pay to their clan must instead be payed to the state.
Individual rights triumphs family rights.
Work is a secret mission. Work is a holy duty. No work is degrading.
Egality is necessary. We are all peers. Stick to your peers (The law of Jante is for real. Fear it)
Gender equality is natural
Sexuality is a private matter. Do not have opinions about others sexuality.
Religion is a private matter. Do not have opinions about others religion
Be humble. Do not show off (The law of Jante. Do not forget it)
Elite perspective
Swedish culture is the the norm for human culture.That is becaus Swedish culture is embodying modernity. Humanity is developing towards modernity. Sweden has been able to develop more then others. Conclusion: All humans want to be like us. Swedish culture is the best and only option.
Multiculturalism is a great thing but it is only supposed to be affecting people on very superficial level. Ethnic minorities are supposed to be different. Maybe they will wear a funny hat. Look at Swedish Jews! They like to wear a kippa! Not every day but maybe once a year at a special occasion.
People who oppose Multiculturalism are idiots! How can someone deny another person the pleasure of once a year dress up and wear a funny hat! And what is the problem with a Thai restaurant?
Proletariat perspective
Life used to be easy. The police kept law and order. Social secretary distributed welfare. There were criminal kids but they usually shaped up and became ordinary workers. The suburban Center was ment for women who went shopping and socialised while their men was working. People were poor but peaceful
Today the police has withdrawn. The suburban Center is populated by men. Men of non Swedish ethnicity. Some of them are drug dealers. Some of them feel a special responsibility to inflict Muslim values on people they meet.
The new environment is a competitive world. To survive you have to be member of a team. You have to have a gang. Gangs are organised after ethnicity. Every ethnicity is fighting to gain superiority. You can not have a conflict with your clan leaders. Women are property of their clan. Women who are not property of a clan are free game.
The poor Swedes who have to live in the multicultural suburbs are not always positive towards Multiculturalism*
_________________________________
The term multiculturalism has a range of meanings within the contexts of sociology, of political philosophy, and of colloquial use. In sociology and in everyday usage, it is a synonym for “ethnic pluralism”, with the two terms often used interchangeably, for example, a cultural pluralism in which various ethnic groups collaborate and enter into a dialogue with one another without having to sacrifice their particular identities. It can describe a mixed ethnic community area where multiple cultural traditions exist (such as New York City) or a single country within which they do (such as Switzerland, Belgium or Russia). Groups associated with an aboriginal or autochthonous ethnic group and foreigner ethnic groups are often the focus.
In reference to sociology, multiculturalism is the end-state of either a natural or artificial process (for example: legally-controlled immigration) and occurs on either a large national scale or on a smaller scale within a nation’s communities. On a smaller scale this can occur artificially when a jurisdiction is established or expanded by amalgamating areas with two or more different cultures (e.g. French Canada and English Canada). On a large scale, it can occur as a result of either legal or illegal migration to and from different jurisdictions around the world (for example, Anglo-Saxon settlement of Britain by Angles, Saxons and Jutes in the 5th century or the colonization of the Americas by Europeans, Africans and Asians since the 16th century).
Multiculturalism as a political philosophy involves ideologies and policies which vary widely. It has been described as a “salad bowl” and as a “cultural mosaic” – in contrast to a melting pot.
