Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A pluralistic society is one in which multiple ethnic groups or nationalities are politically organized into a single territorial state, but maintain their cultural distinctiveness. This can include recognition of different languages, traditions, and customs within the same society. Multilinear refers to the idea that societies evolve along different paths, while multicultural can refer to a society with multiple cultures but does not necessarily imply political organization or recognition of cultural differences. Class-based and stratified both refer to societies that are organized by social class or economic inequality, which may or may not overlap with ethnic or national distinctions.
