Introduction

Exploring culture is something related to the people who make a difference. Difference can be of various sorts like cultural differences or human differences.

Prerequisite for the formation of the program of multiculturalism was a "revolution" of civil rights, which was adopted by the "Civil Rights Act" in 1964. It weakened the whole Anglo-Saxon domination in the U.S., as well as the "Immigration Act" in 1965, unleashing a huge influx of U.S. immigrants from Third World countries. (Williams, 2007)
