It's important to understand and appreciate cultural diversity. Every culture has its own beliefs, values, and traditions which make our world more diverse. By recognizing and respecting different cultures, we can promote mutual understanding and build a more inclusive and tolerant society. Embracing diversity enables us to learn from one another, broaden our perspectives, and create a more connected world.
I agree with this guy. So when people In Poland, Czech republic, Slovakia or Hungary will want their culture protected Europe Union will respect that right?
How are the above cultures threatened now? Are they minorities in their own countries? As a matter of fact Hungarian minority in Slovakia needs protection from the Slovak majority. Roma minorities in these countries need also protection from the majorities in the respective countries, for whom integration of the Roma means assimilation or worse, deportation.
@Page Fault Yes it does. You are free to, say, preserve your culture with museums all you want. Just don't ban immigration while forcing free markets down everyone's throats and don't bomb the planet.

Do not confuse 'cultural diversity' with 'multiculturalism'. His point really is to respect and preserve cultural identity. The comments against multiculturalism are merely proving his point. Whether its indigenous cultures or 'christian': aren't these worth preserving?
Artur Terho So what is your suggestion? That we force foreigners out and start being intolerant of other races? If you ask me, that sounds cruel. And boring (as I like having a variety of people. Just having one culture and/or race is boring).
Artur Terho Again, what is your suggestion? That we go back to isolationism? That there should be no foreigners? Should I stop being friends with those who aren't my ethnicity? Do not get me wrong, I do agree that having completely different values isn't unity. However, as long as people, regardless of race and practices, can put aside their differences and work together, I don't mind. Again, are you suggesting that we go back to pre-civil rights days and become intolerant of one another?
Artur Terho I will say this: I agree that forced diversity is unneeded. I also see your point about foreigners owning parts of countries being an issue as that can potentially take away a country's identity (unless if the foreigner has adapted to the country's laws and culture as well as become a citizen of that country. I also don't mind if they simply own businesses).
The idea of preserving cultures IMO is a tough thing to do. Haven't cultures been shifting in the past generations and changes constantly. Languages die, shift, traditions fade and new ones are created. In addition new concepts of culture is added due to interaction of foreigners and so forth. I honestly don't think we can preserve everything. Humans progress and change overtime. It has been happening since the beginning of time. And I'm sure people don't want to adopt aspects of a culture that are outdated or morally wrong (i.e forced marriages).
John Mclane Yeah, but it is none of your business. My culture is a private matter. Individuals negotiate and mediate among themselves on common universal principles.

Then you realise the original colours have been mixed during the creation of the shade in the middle so now; there’s no reason to travel and experience these new colours as there is nothing special about them and no reason to go there

Because "diversity" is snuffing out the white race, that's why. Take Britain for example. I mean large cities that WERE ALWAYS dominated by whites are now majority Muslim. London, the capital of Britain is majority non-white and has a non-white mayor that is hostile toward whites. Britain is standing back watching their country being stolen from them and can't say or do a damn thing. This is all brought to you by diversity.

This guy thinks the world is full of rainbows, bubble gum, and hugs. News flash guy cultural diversity brings animosity, fighting, arguments, war, and bloodshed. People like this have led the world into complete chaos.
Well, It doesn't mean that we should give up on it. There are people right now in the world who are genuinely suffering because of people who are afraid of accepting their culture and allowing them to thrive. So that is the reason why there are wars, arguments, fighting and bloodshed not people like him(the speaker) who are trying to open and show the world that there is good if we let people embrace their culture and thrive as well.
Default Name, No that's not true. The whole point of Cultural diversity is to take what is better in another's culture and add to yours so, the whole point is improving. You can't tell people to forget who they are. it's not possible.
it is not accurate to claim that cultural diversity is the sole or primary cause of wars. Conflicts can arise from a multitude of factors, including economic interests, political power struggles, territorial disputes, and resource scarcity.
Ideology and the political course are also part of a culture. Diversity is the opposite of unity, and when the unity in a country is too low there lies a breeding ground for social conflict. A multicultural society can be positive under strict conditions. Some of these are: Allow only cultures with similar core values. Keep the "guest cultures" limited in numbers to prevent a power struggle. Create awareness for the dominant home culture and the humble guest cultures. When the cultural differences have become too big, you either get a split up like north and south sudan, like Belgium and the Netherlands, or a bloody civil war. History has proven so countless times
Cultural diversity is great when you think about how it creates people who view the world in different perspectives. But the thing is the majority of human beings are arrogant and so full of ego, we are so far from the respect each other’s way of living. All cultures will try to impose theirs on other culture and since this rarely works, the act comes off as rude and oppressive and the cycle of hate continues.

It matters because it’s good for the economics. It’s all about the money and resources. Without diversity it’s much harder to make deals or exploit other countries resources. You have to be a business man to understand why diversity is a good thing.
if diversity were good for "the economics", China wouldn't be the most powerful country in the world. nor would the usual 1st world countries keep their influential standing on a world wide scale
I agree with letting indigenous peoples having a day to study their people from a curriculum written by indigenous people who love their group. To balance that, Europeans get a day to study their people from a curriculum written by Europeans who love their people. This will create pride in all groups. Multiculturalists will not be allowed in the classroom on that day.
Diversity only works along the lines of culture and ideology. And the host country must decide your culture. One just can't barge in and do whatever they want
Having cultural diversity is a good thing for us. It gives different view points and how life works for other people and how diverse life can be. We should be worry about losing the culture diversity because it has a huge impact in life. Michael Gavin has a very good point about culture diversity being the rights of people. People have diversity that tell them who they are and that very important not to ignore.

If you are Lithuanian be it, the speaker here is exactly speaking about that -How important it is to preserve the identity of a community particularly the indigenous ones that are threatened with extinction. It is about preserving and allowing others to preserve.
I used to believe the lie of diversity until I came to the west,now I know it would never work. No matter how good your English or command of the native language is or how much you try to integrate you are still an outsider and would be treated as such. Most immigrants hold on tobghe dream of integration but it's all fake. Even children of generations of immigrants born in the west still get to face the harsh reality that ethnicity always means you would not be seen the same. Our ways of life are different,how we do things and act even how we play is different. Until we face the reality that immigrants are nothing more but labour and that's it.
"We must take these examples from Vanuatu and elsewhere, and we must begin to create systems which celebrate cultural diversity which explore our differences and which embrace multiple ways of thinking.

Why are there whiners in the comment section? Historically most ethnic groups (with the exception of groups like the Amish) that immigrated to North America assimilated and intergrated at least by the 2nd or 3rd generation. Italians, Poles, Greeks, Jews, and Spaniards were once thought as "other" but they eventually assimilated, right? I know some 2nd and 3rd generation Japanese Americans and they are as American as apple pie.
To ensure a diversity with value is to secure the survival of knowledge and experience and is beneficial to solving the unknown issues to be faced. Diversity for the sake of diversity alone with no additional knowledge or experience becomes nothing more than chaos, without mutually shared agreements or outlooks and results in mistrust, inability to agree on actions and ultimately the breakdown of the society as a whole....thsts diversity....
Wow! reading so many hateful comments. I guess time will tell, they say survival of the fittest..lets us see who survives? hate or love? integrate or divide? Hmm...
No you goof, diversity is not out strength. It’s out weakness. No one cares where you’re from. Our strength is coming together and abandoning our differences to rally behind a single goal. This everything goes mentality we see nowadays means there is no limits to ANYTHING.

There are a lot of assertions made in favour of cultural diversity in this talk, along with not so subtle hints that while all cultures are equally important the one that is imagined to be paramount (for now) is not; as evidenced by the also not so subtle snarky comments about the British and supposedly hapless Peruvians ( the soft bigotry of low expectations here I think). What evidence is there for cultural diversity leading to better outcomes? Is that a given? What if the British culture of global trade bringing quinine to the rest of the world is the only one? This is a genuine question. I understand and agree the benefits of diverse thought solving complex problems (Galton's Wisdom of Crowds)But is it a natural extrapolation to

15:25 When one levels the playing field, struggle is defeated. Without struggle, weakness becomes the new normal. Michael Gavin desires to weaken humanity.
This was a good talk. But on the flip side, if people from remote areas of the world have big dreams and want to advance themselves. They have to Westernize to some degree. But Gavin must also see how groups vie for control and this yearning for power is what causes cultural disrespect. But his general premise was good.
Big dreams? What like be a tech developer or Ceo of a Telecommunications company? These aren't attainable dreams for anyone. Big Dreaming should be A long safe life, happy family and living in harmony with ones surroundings and hopefully never having to deal with the probing finger of authority intervening.
Yeah, about the rapes? When Germany tracked the stats, they found out that, as with every other migrants we've tracked, the migrants were LESS likely to commit crime than the native population, as indicated by the fact that an explosion of more than 400% of migrants led to less than an 80% increase of migrant crime, exactly the opposite of what bigots like you would predict if you were honest. www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2016/may/11/donald-trump/donald-trump-says-germany-now-riddled-crime-thanks/ Your problems with migrants are because you are so laughably miserly that, when you fucked up and let America blow up Iraq because you can't be bothered to actually get the UN working since it might be inconvenient for you, you decided to not pick up your goddamn mess and instead spent ungodly amounts of money on fences and walls. If you had just invested that money into resettlement, we'd be fine right now. Fascism killed 20 million people in the Holocaust alone and it ruined Italy, Germany, Spain and Japan. Don't make us curbstomp you again. Every single Syrian still in a camp is someone who is going to listen to ISIS, the people they hate, just that little bit more. You're choosing to increase terrorism because you're a crybaby who wants people around you to look like you. That makes you a traitor to humanity.
There are racial considerations too grave to be brushed aside for any sentimental reasons. Biological laws tell us that certain divergent people will not mix or blend. The Nordics propagate themselves successfully. With other races, the outcome shows deterioration on both sides. Quality of mind and body suggests that observance of ethnic law is as great a necessity to a nation as immigration law. Calvin Coolidge 1924
t's nothing more than racial quotas. They just destroyed the schools for the academically gifted in NYC because certain "groups" didn't make the grade. So, rather than encourage the "groups' to study harder (like the Asian students do), they eliminated the entry qualifications in favor of a lottery system. They in effect numbed down the elite schools. I don't know what other country in the world would do such a self defeating thing, particularly in light of the fact that the USA rates 22nd in the world when it comes to math and science. Anyway, it was done to meet racial quotas. So much with a color blind, merit based society.
How about we as one humanity support the notion of thinking for ourselves and acquiring true and fundamental education. That way, cultural diversity can progressively be abolished, everybody can better relate to one another, and solutions may be adopted by using our brains. Therefore, I dare say Michael Gavin's argument is... well, unnecessary and invalid. This has everything to do with consciousness and higher education and less to do with culture. Michael, please don't contribute more babble and intellectual masturbation by adding a necessity for cultural diversity. Also, when you speak, cease the short periods of silence and just get to your point. By speaking slowly and putting emphasis on every word, you frustrate the listener. It's almost as bad as listening to Tom Leykis.
I think the US military needs to have this training!!!! It begin with the US being multi nationals/culturals; English, Dutch, French, Irish, German, et al.. Yes, I know we are now mixed but you do not know that; there could be pure breed out there.

I honestly couldn’t keep up with the video because of the comment section 😅 Legitimate question, if this happens to be seen, why are cultural diversity and unity seen as mutually exclusive? Additionally, what is the general definition of “unity” here? I feel like there isn’t a clear definition given of what unity means in this context. Do folks here feel that the respect and preservation of individual cultures in a society can’t also coincide with mutual respect and cooperation?
Why are they mutually exclusive?? Are you kidding? If that person next door doesn't share the same values I do, how can I trust that they won't kill me simply because I gave them a funny look. And when they have political protection, they get away with it. Or they change the law to make it possible for them to kill whoever they please
mutual respect and cooperation lol. most tribes are pragmatically self-centred and look after the best interests of their own first and foremost. they might not want to do you any harm let alone kill you, but they will always put themselves ahead of you
This is all well and true. But what wasn't mentioned was the fact that the world is becoming a much smaller place. Those who don't appreciate that will get left behind with the rapid growth and change in cultures throughout the world. Change is inevitable, and we shouldn't resist it, but embrace it as its how we will develop as a species.
- their international tribesmen in Europe and America do advocate open borders for other countries. You need to read history, some of the major slaves traders were tribesmen, for example: Aaron Lopez.
His examples for why diversity was important had more to do with the geographical location of the people. Of course, the British didn't know about the plant that the people of Peru had because the British did not live there. It had nothing to do with the race, language, or culture of the people. It had to do with the fact that the plants were on the other side of the world.
He comes across as a pretty sanctimonious dude and it's kind of grating. On the rare occasion anyone says anything against cultural diversity [in public] everyone jumps down their throat and brands them a racist - this guy just spat out platitudinous anecdotes that he knew would get him a pat on the back. Other then getting a sun tan I can't do much to make the world more 'diverse'. He said nothing inspirational or actionable so I'm left wondering what the point of this was.
It's important to understand and appreciate cultural diversity. Every culture has its own beliefs, values, and traditions which make our world more diverse. By recognizing and respecting different cultures, we can promote mutual understanding and build a more inclusive and tolerant society. Embracing diversity enables us to learn from one another, broaden our perspectives, and create a more connected world.

Well, It doesn't mean that we should give up on it. There are people right now in the world who are genuinely suffering because of people who are afraid of accepting their culture and allowing them to thrive. So that is the reason why there are wars, arguments, fighting and bloodshed not people like him(the speaker) who are trying to open and show the world that there is good if we let people embrace their culture and thrive as well.

We always had cultural diversity in the world. That's why we had wars. Importing incompatible cultures in a nation means importing conflict.
it is not accurate to claim that cultural diversity is the sole or primary cause of wars. Conflicts can arise from a multitude of factors, including economic interests, political power struggles, territorial disputes, and resource scarcity.
Ideology and the political course are also part of a culture. Diversity is the opposite of unity, and when the unity in a country is too low there lies a breeding ground for social conflict. A multicultural society can be positive under strict conditions. Some of these are: Allow only cultures with similar core values. Keep the "guest cultures" limited in numbers to prevent a power struggle. Create awareness for the dominant home culture and the humble guest cultures. When the cultural differences have become too big, you either get a split up like north and south sudan, like Belgium and the Netherlands, or a bloody civil war. History has proven so countless times

homogenous countries (e.g.: Iceland, Japan, Korea) are always superior to diverse ones.
Cultural diversity is great when you think about how it creates people who view the world in different perspectives. But the thing is the majority of human beings are arrogant and so full of ego, we are so far from the respect each other’s way of living. All cultures will try to impose theirs on other culture and since this rarely works, the act comes off as rude and oppressive and the cycle of hate continues.
That's just what happens when you live in the real world where everything isn't equal.

It matters because it’s good for the economics. It’s all about the money and resources. Without diversity it’s much harder to make deals or exploit other countries resources. You have to be a business man to understand why diversity is a good thing.

I agree with letting indigenous peoples having a day to study their people from a curriculum written by indigenous people who love their group. To balance that, Europeans get a day to study their people from a curriculum written by Europeans who love their people. This will create pride in all groups. Multiculturalists will not be allowed in the classroom on that day.
Diversity only works along the lines of culture and ideology.

Having cultural diversity is a good thing for us. It gives different view points and how life works for other people and how diverse life can be. We should be worry about losing the culture diversity because it has a huge impact in life. Michael Gavin has a very good point about culture diversity being the rights of people. People have diversity that tell them who they are and that very important not to ignore.
It would seem then that the best way to lose cultural diversity would be to fill up every country we can with people from every culture on the planet.

Thanks for the talk. I think most of the commentators down, visioned white loosening its color and Christianity its flavor by this talk. If you are Lithuanian be it, the speaker here is exactly speaking about that -How important it is to preserve the identity of a community particularly the indigenous ones that are threatened with extinction. It is about preserving and allowing others to preserve.
I used to believe the lie of diversity until I came to the west,now I know it would never work. No matter how good your English or command of the native language is or how much you try to integrate you are still an outsider and would be treated as such. Most immigrants hold on tobghe dream of integration but it's all fake. Even children of generations of immigrants born in the west still get to face the harsh reality that ethnicity always means you would not be seen the same. Our ways of life are different,how we do things and act even how we play is different. Until we face the reality that immigrants are nothing more but labour and that's it.

"We must take these examples from Vanuatu and elsewhere, and we must begin to create systems which celebrate cultural diversity which explore our differences and which embrace multiple ways of thinking. If we can do that, we'll be better prepared for tomorrow; but if we don't do that, then our grandchildren are going to grow up in a world that is gar less diverse and they won't even know it." We see today that major fulfillment centers are becoming diverse, and this must always be properly governed by appropriate overseers. The words are poetic!

Why are there whiners in the comment section? Historically most ethnic groups (with the exception of groups like the Amish) that immigrated to North America assimilated and intergrated at least by the 2nd or 3rd generation. Italians, Poles, Greeks, Jews, and Spaniards were once thought as "other" but they eventually assimilated, right? I know some 2nd and 3rd generation Japanese Americans and they are as American as apple pie.

To ensure a diversity with value is to secure the survival of knowledge and experience and is beneficial to solving the unknown issues to be faced. Diversity for the sake of diversity alone with no additional knowledge or experience becomes nothing more than chaos, without mutually shared agreements or outlooks and results in mistrust, inability to agree on actions and ultimately the breakdown of the society as a whole....thsts diversity....

No you goof, diversity is not out strength. It’s out weakness. No one cares where you’re from. Our strength is coming together and abandoning our differences to rally behind a single goal. This everything goes mentality we see nowadays means there is no limits to ANYTHING.

There are a lot of assertions made in favour of cultural diversity in this talk, along with not so subtle hints that while all cultures are equally important the one that is imagined to be paramount (for now) is not; as evidenced by the also not so subtle snarky comments about the British and supposedly hapless Peruvians ( the soft bigotry of low expectations here I think). What evidence is there for cultural diversity leading to better outcomes? Is that a given? What if the British culture of global trade bringing quinine to the rest of the world is the only one? This is a genuine question.
I understand and agree the benefits of diverse thought solving complex problems (Galton's Wisdom of Crowds)But is it a natural extrapolation to

There is nothing in this video of value, except maybe for the fact that it raises a certain awareness that cultural diversity is shrinking. I'm undecided wether I think that this cultural diversity should be preserved or not and his video didn't change that, as he only makes anectodal points that try to induce an emotional reaction. There is no substance though, at least it is not communicated.

15:25 When one levels the playing field, struggle is defeated. Without struggle, weakness becomes the new normal. Michael Gavin desires to weaken humanity.
This was a good talk. But on the flip side, if people from remote areas of the world have big dreams and want to advance themselves. They have to Westernize to some degree. But Gavin must also see how groups vie for control and this yearning for power is what causes cultural disrespect. But his general premise was good.
Big dreams? What like be a tech developer or Ceo of a Telecommunications company? These aren't attainable dreams for anyone. Big Dreaming should be A long safe life, happy family and living in harmony with ones surroundings and hopefully never having to deal with the probing finger of authority intervening.
"Westernize" you don't own many of the things you think you own...

Yeah, about the rapes? When Germany tracked the stats, they found out that, as with every other migrants we've tracked, the migrants were LESS likely to commit crime than the native population, as indicated by the fact that an explosion of more than 400% of migrants led to less than an 80% increase of migrant crime, exactly the opposite of what bigots like you would predict if you were honest.

Your problems with migrants are because you are so laughably miserly that, when you fucked up and let America blow up Iraq because you can't be bothered to actually get the UN working since it might be inconvenient for you, you decided to not pick up your goddamn mess and instead spent ungodly amounts of money on fences and walls. If you had just invested that money into resettlement, we'd be fine right now.
Fascism killed 20 million people in the Holocaust alone and it ruined Italy, Germany, Spain and Japan. Don't make us curbstomp you again.

You're choosing to increase terrorism because you're a crybaby who wants people around you to look like you. That makes you a traitor to humanity.

There are racial considerations too grave to be brushed aside for any sentimental reasons. Biological laws tell us that certain divergent people will not mix or blend. The Nordics propagate themselves successfully. With other races, the outcome shows deterioration on both sides. Quality of mind and body suggests that observance of ethnic law is as great a necessity to a nation
as immigration law.

t's nothing more than racial quotas. They just destroyed the schools for the academically gifted in NYC because certain "groups" didn't make the grade. So, rather than encourage the "groups' to study harder (like the Asian students do), they eliminated the entry qualifications in favor of a lottery system. They in effect numbed down the elite schools. I don't know what other country in the world would do such a self defeating thing, particularly in light of the fact that the USA rates 22nd in the world when it comes to math and science. Anyway, it was done to meet racial quotas. So much with a color blind, merit based society.

How about we as one humanity support the notion of thinking for ourselves and acquiring true and fundamental education. That way, cultural diversity can progressively be abolished, everybody can better relate to one another, and solutions may be adopted by using our brains. Therefore, I dare say Michael Gavin's argument is... well, unnecessary and invalid. This has everything to do with consciousness and higher education and less to do with culture. Michael, please don't contribute more babble and intellectual masturbation by adding a necessity for cultural diversity. Also, when you speak, cease the short periods of silence and just get to your point. By speaking slowly and putting emphasis on every word, you frustrate the listener. It's almost as bad as listening to Tom Leykis.

Additionally, what is the general definition of “unity” here? I feel like there isn’t a clear definition given of what unity means in this context. Do folks here feel that the respect and preservation of individual cultures in a society can’t also coincide with mutual respect and cooperation?
Why are they mutually exclusive?? Are you kidding? If that person next door doesn't share the same values I do, how can I trust that they won't kill me simply because I gave them a funny look. And when they have political protection, they get away with it. Or they change the law to make it possible for them to kill whoever they please

His examples for why diversity was important had more to do with the geographical location of the people. Of course, the British didn't know about the plant that the people of Peru had because the British did not live there. It had nothing to do with the race, language, or culture of the people. It had to do with the fact that the plants were on the other side of the world.
They also have paid generations of taxes. The government owned them back taxes.
Diversity is awesome as long as the minorities keep empowering us white guys to expand our government fiefdoms.
He comes across as a pretty sanctimonious dude and it's kind of grating. On the rare occasion anyone says anything against cultural diversity [in public] everyone jumps down their throat and brands them a racist - this guy just spat out platitudinous anecdotes that he knew would get him a pat on the back. Other then getting a sun tan I can't do much to make the world more 'diverse'. He said nothing inspirational or actionable so I'm left wondering what the point of this was.
