A particular social condition of racial, ethnic, religious or cultural diversity resulting from immigration. This societal vision aims to treat all members of a society as equal citizens and accommodate their differences. Multiculturalism supports the acceptance and promotion of different cultures to function alongside each other in society. The term can also be considered a descriptive tool, used to refer to the demographic makeup of a society, as well as applied normatively as a political theory, ideologically or as a description of policies or programmes.
