<p>The aim with this essay is to examine in which way self-realizing and solidarity can be</p><p>reconciled in a multicultural society. The essay is a sociological literature study which</p><p>examines the self- realizing process and puts it in a multicultural perspective.</p><p>The issues are</p><p>Which role does self-realizing play for solidarity?</p><p>How is solidarity created in a multicultural society?</p><p>Can everyone be self-realized in a multicultural society?</p><p>Conditions and problems for self-realizing processes are examined and are treated mainly on</p><p>the basis of Jeffrey C. Alexander and Axel Honneth theories. In the essay is established that</p><p>self-realizing and society-solidarity is mutually interdependent and that solidarity requires a</p><p>form of shared value, but it doesn’t need to be based in the traditional values that common</p><p>history, ethnicity or culture. It can instead be based on a kind of generally recognizing that the</p><p>value about multiculturalism is good and will be respected. First then can everyone in the</p><p>society, self-realize on equal conditions.</p>
