He emphasizes that many recent immigrants to the West\u2064 do not share the fundamental values that have shaped\u200c the Western world, such as the \u2064importance\u2064 of a \u200bpolitical system based on ordered liberty and the rule of law.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cPolitical multiculturalists have long suggested that all cultures are equally worthy of\u2062 respect and \u2064inclusion, and the best society is the most diverse society. This point of view is disastrous,\u201d Shapiro passionately argues. \u201cIt\u2019s\u2062 disastrous because not all cultures are morally\u2063 equivalent. Some cultures, for example,\u2064 prized truth as a value above others. Other\u2063 cultures value death over life.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Shapiro&#8217;s first <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/majority-of-californians-believe-state-is-going-in-the-wrong-direction-poll\/\" title=\"Most Californians think state is heading in the wrong direction: Poll.\">major concern revolves<\/a> around \u200bthe erosion of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ben-shapiro-says-multiculturalism-may-bring-about-downfall-of-western-civilization-in-latest-facts-episode\/\" title=\"Ben Shapiro warns of multiculturalism's potential to cause Western civilization's decline in recent 'Facts' episode.\">civic bonds caused<\/a> by multiculturalism.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cEvery society has\u2063 baseline propositions to\u200d which all members must pledge fealty. In the West, for example, most countries rely on social agreement \u200cto the rule of\u200d law and equal justice before the law,\u201d Shapiro explains. \u201cImporting large numbers of people who disagree with these propositions\u2063 results not in a richer\u2062 and more wonderful life for Western countries, but in societal breakdown.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Furthermore, Shapiro highlights the impact of mass migration, particularly the influx of predominantly male\u200d individuals from the Middle East and Africa into Europe over the past two decades. This migration has led to a \u200dsurge in sexual assault\u2063 rates across Europe, with\u2064 authorities hesitant to investigate due to \u2062fears of being\u2063 labeled as racist.<\/p>\n<p>The second significant issue Shapiro addresses is the strain multiculturalism places on public resources. He\u200c cites statistics indicating that immigrants in the United States are more likely to \u200brely on welfare compared to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/prageru-what-is-identity-socialism\/\" title=\"PragerU: What Is Identity Socialism?\">native-born citizens<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, Shapiro argues\u200c that mass immigration expands the Overton window, providing examples of a concerning number of immigrants in France expressing sympathy for the motives behind the terrorist attack on French satire magazine Charlie Hebdo. He\u200b also highlights a recent poll revealing that over half of Muslim Americans expressed sympathy for Hamas following \u200bthe terrorist attacks that\u2062 claimed the lives of \u2063over 1,400 Israelis.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cDiversity can, in fact, be a strength, but only when that diversity serves a common purpose and a societal goal,\u201d Shapiro asserts. \u201cThe West must rediscover its shared\u2062 values \u200cand stand in pursuit of them or \u2062allow itself to be torn apart from the inside.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>WATCH:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> What are the consequences of prioritizing multiculturalism over\u2064 assimilation \u200din terms of \u200da nation&#8217;s national \u200didentity, social cohesion, and the integration of immigrants into society<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Irtue and individual rights, while others put more emphasis \u2062on conformity and collectivism. When we ignore these fundamental differences, we risk diluting the very \u200dfoundations that have \u200dmade Western \u200dcivilization\u200c successful.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Shapiro goes \u2064on to present compelling evidence that suggests\u200c multiculturalism can lead to the erosion of social cohesion\u2064 and the \u2064breakdown of societal norms. He points out \u200bthat when individuals from\u2063 vastly different cultures with conflicting values are thrust \u2064into\u2064 the same \u2063society,\u200c tensions are\u200b bound to arise. This can result in a divided nation, as different groups struggle\u200c to reconcile their cultural differences and find common ground.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Shapiro highlights the potential \u200ddanger of cultural relativism, an ideology that rejects the notion of \u200cobjective truth or values and instead \u2063promotes the\u2062 idea that all\u200d cultural practices are \u200dequally valid. He argues\u2063 that this can lead \u2063to the acceptance of harmful\u2062 or oppressive cultural practices\u2062 under the guise\u2062 of cultural tolerance, effectively undermining \u2062the progress made in areas\u2064 such as women&#8217;s rights, \u2064LGBTQ+ rights, and religious freedom.<\/p>\n<p>One of the key concerns raised \u2062by Shapiro is the\u2063 potential impact of multiculturalism \u200con \u2063the assimilation \u200cprocess. He asserts that a society that prioritizes multiculturalism over assimilation fails to\u200b promote a\u200d clear national identity and \u2063common set of values, hindering \u2063the integration of \u200bimmigrants into the fabric of society. Without a shared sense of identity and values, communities become fragmented, \u2063leading to isolation and marginalization.<\/p>\n<p>As\u200c Shapiro concludes his argument, he emphasizes the importance of \u200bpreserving the core principles that have\u2064 made Western civilization prosperous and free. He calls for a balanced approach that recognizes and\u200c respects cultural diversity while also ensuring that immigrants \u200dembrace \u2063the values \u200b\u200bthat\u200b have defined the West. This, Shapiro believes, is crucial for the continued success of Western civilization and the \u200cpreservation of its \u200cachievements.<\/p>\n<p>In response to \u2064Shapiro&#8217;s episode, critics argue \u2062that multiculturalism is not inherently harmful and can foster a \u2062society\u200c that is enriched by diverse perspectives and\u200b ideas. They contend that cultural exchange and\u200b understanding can lead to \u2064societal progress and promote empathy and tolerance.<\/p>\n<p>However, Shapiro&#8217;s warning serves as \u200ba necessary reminder that while diversity should be celebrated, we must not overlook the potential challenges posed by\u2062 multiculturalism. It\u2062 is essential to\u2063 have robust discussions and debates surrounding these issues\u200c in order to find a balanced approach that harnesses\u2064 the benefits of diversity while safeguarding the \u2064core principles of Western civilization.<\/p>\n<p>As Western societies continue to\u200d grapple with questions of immigration, identity, and cultural integration, the insights provided by Ben Shapiro prompt us\u2064 to critically examine the impact of multiculturalism on the\u200c future \u200bof our civilization. Regardless of where one stands on the issue, Shapiro&#8217;s contribution to the dialogue reinforces the need to carefully consider the potential\u200b consequences of multiculturalism and the imperative to safeguard\u2063 the values\u2064 that form the bedrock of\u200b Western society.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro said that multiculturalism might lead to the breakdown of Western civilization in the latest episode of his YouTube series \u201c Facts .\u201d In the episode , which was released on Saturday, Shapiro details the three main problems that can come with a society being built on multiculturalism.
