For me to fully express and advance the notion of “One culture”, it becomes important to divide the practice of [branding] Multiculturalism, from the reality of what I see and feel as an American.
America is more segmented today, then ever in the history of this great nation. However, is that based on new migrant_Americans flocking to USA. Or, those that are here finding new tools to make their voices, needs and stories heard?
Social media, Blogs and Consumer Generated Content create a point of equality, because social media (such as: facebook, twitter, digg, myspace) are free. That access provides consumers of all ethnic and racial profiles to broadcast their historic experiences, hopes and values. Honestly, never in the history of global communications have humans had tools to mold and shape public opinion from an instant critical mass scale.
Thus, several questions loom large:
1) Who are Americans.
2) What do Americans value.
3) Additionally, how different are the values from those that [our] founders set forth in both legal and cultural form.
