Salad Bowl model
The Salad Bowl model describes a multicultural society where diverse cultural identities coexist while maintaining their unique characteristics. Unlike the melting pot, where cultures blend into a single uniform identity, the salad bowl keeps individual flavors distinct, like ingredients in a mixed salad. This approach encourages respecting and preserving cultural differences, fostering inclusion and mutual appreciation. It recognizes that diversity adds richness to society, allowing people to celebrate their backgrounds while contributing to a shared community.
