==== Ethnic Diversity and Collective Identity ====

Ethnic diversity enriches collective consciousness by bringing together individuals from different cultural backgrounds and perspectives. However, it can also lead to tensions and conflicts as groups navigate issues of identity, power, and representation. Ethnicity influences collective consciousness by shaping group identities, social hierarchies, and intergroup relations within multicultural societies. Recognizing and valuing ethnic diversity is essential for promoting social cohesion, fostering mutual respect, and building inclusive communities where all individuals feel respected and empowered.
