Multiculturalism promotes unity in society by accepting people of different cultures, religions and racial and ethnic backgrounds and if accepted it will bring positive results to the entire Australian population. Unfortunately, a multitude of people did not accept it. . The media has a huge influence on this by doing what they always do: showing only the negative and no positives. Refugees have brought several positive elements to multiculturalism, such as food styles, art, appliances and buildings throughout Australia, but none of this is widely reported. If multiculturalism were accepted throughout Australia, it would result in a much brighter future for Australia, providing everyone with the opportunity to contribute positively to the social, cultural and economic life of Australia. Certainly if more Australian citizens knew about the positive actions that many refugees contribute, many would be more accepting of them and Australia would be a far superior place for them with multiculturalism intact.
