Reinforcing ethnocentrism is a great strategy to break down the"melting pot" model of American multiculturalism in order to substitute acultural "salad bowl" model of culture in which ethnicities retain theiridentities. The result is the cultural "melting pot" many have come to see inthe United States. This second model is known as cultural pluralism. What would be the preferable model is the cultural"salad bowl" model in which the ingredients retain their form and flavor-asalad may be tossed but the parts still remain unchanged. New York: Doubleday. An ethnocentric person or group views his or its ethnicity ascentrally important to the society; the standard against which all othercultures and ethnicities coexisting in the society are measured. Historic Side-Lights. Therefore, reinforcing ethnocentrism among various groups in Americansociety will begin to insure that those groups reclaim their heritagebefore it is lost.ReferencesArnold, H. (1899). (1994). In 2 1 ,ethnicities coexisting with other ethnicities is a reality in all 5 statesin the United States. However one nineteenth century historian criticized EPluribus Unum as "a motto utterly devoid of all religious or moral tone...a motto that may mean union or disunion...Every citizen who has the bestinterests of his country at his heart must regret that our present mottowas so unfortunately chosen and is so utterly unfit for a great republic(Arnold, 312-315). This nation's motto, E Pluribus Unum, means "out ofmany, one," and has come to signify the "melting pot" of America'svariegated populace. Is there Value in Reinforcing Ethnocentrism? Arnold's regret carries on to this day as diversity education becomesan obsession in the nation's classrooms. Dogmatic Wisdom: How the Culture Wars Divert Educationand Distract America. Diversity education too oftenreinforces the "melting pot" theory by stressing that "more cultures arebetter" without every taking the time to study any one culture in detail.Furthermore, the so-called culture wars of conflicting cultural values inAmerica only serve to embarrass and/or suppress unique cultural values andpractices across the nation as people move to assimilate in the mainstreamas they are led to believe that the culture wars are the fault of their ownvalues.
