SvarSletby Christian Anhøj, Brian & Thomas
In Britain they are used to having a multicultural society, so words like immigration and integration should not be unknown to them, however the British people have not yet accepted that they live in a multicultural country and therefore people with another ethnicity than British does not feel like being home. British Prime Minister David Cameron is frightened that young Muslims may turn to terrorism because they are not being integrated in Britain.

Does multiculturalism have a future in Britain?
SvarSletThe article is written by Amy Hall and published by New Internationalist. The article is inspired by the British Prime Minister David Cameron's speech from 2011 which was held in Munich Security Conference. In his speech, Cameron outlined what he saw as failures of 'state multiculturalism', and that it seemed to be about young Muslims getting involved in terrorism. After this speech were held it set up the debate: 'Does multiculturalism have a future in Britain?'. A lot of different journalist, writers, activist, artist, etc. has participated in this debate. Most people in Britain when talking about multiculturalism forget to separate culture, religion and immigration. They also discuss how to protect human rights in a environment were there might not be room for immigrants, and are the human rights just for some people and not for everyone. In the end of the article they comes to the conclusion that multiculturalism is not about how someone identifies with one culture, or many - it is about how they feel they belong.

Britain´s culture-clash comedy ”East is East” gets sequel
SvarSletThe article is an interview with Leslee Udwin, write by Tony Tharakan, 2010. Lesslee Udwin has produced the movie East is East and later the movie West is West. He always felt there was a trilogy, because he learned so much of the writers own story when he produced East is East. After 10 years, there becomes a sequel. They had used the same actors in the 3 films, so the actors are much closed, and they had been that since they made East is East. You don´t have to see the first film to get the messaged in the other films, because it´s has their own story and messaged.
