Art Theory/ Research: BVA 313/BVA316 - 23/09/2019 (The difference between Biculturalism and Multiculturalism)
Biculturalism is about the relationship between the state’s founding cultures, where there is more than one. Multiculturalism is about the acceptance of cultural difference generally

Multiculturalism has two aspects in New Zealand. One aspect concerns the toleration of cultural difference. The other concerns the celebration of cultural difference. The latter overlaps with bicultural policy development and can lead to competition for government support but more often I should think, the two policies are mutually supportive. However, the law is concerned only with the first aspect, the toleration of cultural difference. In New Zealand, this is normally in the context of the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act and the Human Rights Act.

The term, Third Culture Kids, coined by the American sociologist Ruth Hill Useem, refers to a child who has spent a significant part of their formative years outside their parents’ culture. People who fit that bill have a tendency to mix and merge their birth culture with their adopted culture, creating one of their own: a third culture.
Depending on the person and situation, I’ll have different answers to that dreaded question. I’ll tell white lies and change my story as I go, like many other TCKs. Sometimes I’ll go for the quick answer: Finland and Senegal. Other times I’ll tell the whole story: that I was born in Helsinki, moved to Luxembourg, then to Brussels and finally to London. Or I might say that my mum is from Finland and dad from Senegal, but that I really feel like my home is in the UK now.
So where is home? Identity is attached to a sense of belonging, usually through family ties or deep emotional connections. Home suggests an emotional place – somewhere you truly belong, but I, like many other TCKs, never quite feel at home anywhere.
Being rootless has given me a sense of freedom. I feel grateful for the experiences I’ve had, and I am proud to feel, above all, like a citizen of the world. The possibilities for the future are endless. The sense of being at home anywhere, yet feeling that home is nowhere, is part of who I am.
Art Theory and Research paper:
I wanted to talk about the perspective of living in a multicultural society in my research paper while Bicultural relationship towards who am I in Malaysia. Discussing my native culture, Chinese and the culture where I was born (Malaysia), Malay.

Am I rootless, or am I free? ‘Third culture kids’ like me make it up as we go along
