How do we respond to socio-cultural diversity in society?
Integration in Singapore
Integration of different socio-cultural identities
Another way to would be the Ethnic Integration Policy (EIP) used in housing. In our public flats, the Housing and Development Board (HDB) apportion 70% to Chinese, 20% to Malays and 10% to other races in each block of HDB flat. This is according to Singapore’s racial profiles.
One way would be to enable positive interactions. Through the arts and sports, our programmes provide opportunities to bridge and integrate communities. Programmes and activities at the ActiveSG Sports Centres, as well as sports initiatives such as Team Nila, SportCares and ActiveSG programmes bring people of different backgrounds and abilities together.
Integration of new immigrants with currents citizens
Community Sharing Session: It is an event where new citizens reflect on their journey towards citizenship. This helps immigrants to learn how to actively participate in the community. Locals can also share valuable insights that can help immigrants better settle into their community.
Singapore Experimental Tour:
Half day tour which brings new citizens to key historical landmark where they learn about Singapore history and the management of national challenges in urban planning, transport, water resources, as well as security defense. This promotes harmony
Policy 1:
the education system in france is secular. In schools students are not allowed to express their religion such as wearing a cross necklace or headscarf.
Adaptation classes are conducted for children of immigrants to help them improve their french and so they can join regular french school.
This assimilates minority groups into the secular french society.
This ensures that everyone is treated equally and fairly which promotes harmony as no one would be ostracized. Equal treatments leads to a more united french national identity
Assimilation in France
What is Assimilation?
What tensions/trade-offs may occur?
However, assimilation is not without problems as many people feel that the rights of immigrants are suppressed in France. This can potentially lead to social problems between the locals and those supporting more rights for immigrants.
Policy 3: Naturalisation initiative
French citizenship by naturalization is the process of obtaining French nationality for non-French residents who have lived in France for a certain amount of time.
Eligibility criteria:
Must be at least 18 years old
Must have lived in France for at least five years
Must have a valid residence permit
Must have sufficient knowledge of the French language and culture
Must not have a criminal record or be under investigation
As a result, children grow speaking the same language and learning about French society. At the workplace, everyone speak and write French, hence, immigrants have to adapt and learn to French in order to get a job. This help them to assimilate better and faster.
Assimilation is one of the ways that countries like France manage diversity. Assimilation refers to getting immigrants to fit into the local society. This is done to preserve the local culture as much as possible. In France, assimilation is achieved through education, workplace processes, laws and the naturalization process. In French schools, all students must the French language, and all subjects are taught in French.
One example of assimilation in France's employment policy is the "Contrat d'Intégration Républicaine" (CIR), which translates to the Republican Integration Contract.
Policy 2: The CIR is a program designed to help newcomers, particularly non-EU immigrants, integrate into French society and the labor market. It outlines a set of commitments and obligations for immigrants and provides them with resources and support to achieve those commitments.
How does it help?
How does it work
France has a special plan to help people who come to live there from other countries. This plan is called assimilation. It means they want newcomers to learn about the French culture, which is how French people live, talk, and do things. They teach them the French language so they can talk with everyone easily. They also help them find jobs and teach them about French rules for work. This way, everyone can be part of the same community and understand each other better. But, it's also important that people from different places can still keep their own special traditions and ways of doing things. This makes France a diverse and interesting place for everyone.
