Which variant of liberalism espouses sympathetic consideration of cultural differences, group rights and majority-minority relations as its core values ?
Answer: A
The variant is Multiculturalism.
Liberal multiculturalism, associated with thinkers such as Will Kymlicka, extends the liberal concern for the individual to the cultural groups that give individuals their identity. It treats respect for cultural difference, group-differentiated rights and fair majority-minority relations as core values, while staying within a liberal framework of individual freedom.
Classical liberalism stresses individual rights and a minimal state and is wary of group rights. Libertarianism pushes that individualism further. Communitarianism criticises liberal individualism from outside, stressing shared community values rather than diversity within a liberal state.
