Contrast the "melting pot" model of minority adolescent identity with the "pluralistic society" model of minority identity development
What will be an ideal response?
The melting pot model of identity development reflects the belief that society should be color-blind, that race and
ethnic background should not matter in terms of opportunities and achievement. This view holds that individual
cultural identities should be assimilated into a unified U.S. culture. In contrast, the pluralistic model suggests that
U.S. society is made up of diverse, coequal groups that should preserve their individual and cultural features.
