Multiculturalism and America
Abstract
In the new world order that has begun to be restructured, how national identities will be carried out together and how differences will be transformed into benefits, instead of problems has become a very important issue in terms of ensuring peace and prosperity in every society. The USA realized that they could no longer pursue the understanding of Americanism, based on a single American identity, which they aim to protect. America, where many different cultures live, has inevitably had to follow a policy that respects every culture and is based on cultural pluralism. In contrast to cultural diversity in the USA, it is possible to point out that racism, which did not stop under Obama, was endured with Trump’s presidential process among the different positions of low-income black and minority societies. In this study, the question of whether new president of USA, Joe Biden is going to attempt to vary the otherization policy for the minority societies and immigrants that was continued in the process of Trump, or not is aimed to be made out, by analyzing the news about the minority societies and immigrants in CNN (USA) throughout two months, December, 2020 and January, 2021 with the discourse analysis method.
