Here a theme on multiethnic states of the present and past, like Switzerland, Belgium, the Austrian Empire, maybe the USSR and of course the New World states. What is your view on the best system in these states:
a. a model where one culture and language is dominant (like English in the USA)
b. a model where all cultures and languages are equally protected and promoted (like Switzerland, with four official languages)?
In my view the latter is better.
Are multiethnic states a hindrance to nationalism? In my view yes, especially if the model is like a.
