In a multicultural society, it is essential to respect and tolerate the diversity of various cultures. Cultural festivals should serve as a platform to promote mutual understanding, respect and appreciation between different cultures, rather than promoting the belief in the primacy of a single culture. The concept of monoculture supremacy may lead to cultural exclusion, discrimination and social division, which is contrary to the purpose of building a harmonious society and promoting global cultural exchanges. ### How to promote multicultural coexistence through cultural festivals： 1. **Showcase cultural diversity**: During festivals, groups from different cultural backgrounds can be invited to participate and showcase their unique art, music, dance, food and traditional customs. This can not only enhance the understanding of other cultures, but also enhance the cohesion of society. 2. **Education and exchange**: Through cultural festivals, lectures, workshops or interactive experiences can be organized to allow participants to gain an in-depth understanding of the history, values and lifestyles of different cultures. This kind of education helps to break stereotypes and reduce prejudices. 3. **Equality and respect**: In activities, it is necessary to ensure that all cultures have equal opportunities to display, and to avoid any culture being marginalized or belittled. Respecting the uniqueness of each culture is a basic principle of a pluralistic society. 4. **Cooperation and co-creation**: Encourage people from different cultural backgrounds to participate in the planning and implementation of activities, and promote cross-cultural dialogue and understanding through cooperation. This process of co-creation itself can strengthen the concept of pluralistic coexistence. 5. **Reflection and criticism**: In the activities, discussions on issues such as cultural hegemony and colonial history can be introduced to help people reflect on the harm of the concept of monoculture supremacy, so as to cherish the value of multiculturalism more. ### Why avoid monoculture supremacy： -**Social harmony**: A multicultural society requires tolerance and respect, and the concept of monoculture is prone to conflict and division. -**Cultural richness**: Each culture has its own unique values and wisdom, and diverse coexistence can provide more possibilities for social development. -**Global vision**: In the era of globalization, cross-cultural exchanges and cooperation are the key to solving global problems. The supremacy of a single culture will hinder this kind of cooperation. In short, the goal of cultural festivals should be to celebrate diversity and promote understanding and unity, rather than to promote the superiority of a single culture. Through such activities, we can jointly build a more inclusive and harmonious society.
