When this happens, the total amounts of social satisfaction will improve. Moreover, the U.S. will be able to reduce the number of people that are living in the lower economic classes by understanding these viewpoints.

How would deviance be defined in America through a multicultural perspective?

Deviance would be defined as those groups that are unwilling to embrace different American cultural traditions (over several generations). This is because select nationalities could be focused on embracing their cultural practices and are not learning those of their new country. What would make the situation worse is when future generations do not accept American attributes with their own traditions. ("Multi Culturalism in America," 2012)

For example, a family from another country will automatically practice certain traditions when they first arrive in America.
In the event that their children and grandchildren do not embrace some American attributes, is when a deviance is established. This is because there is a clear pattern of the family not accepting these traditions after several generations. ("Multi Culturalism in America," 2012)

From a multi-cultural perspective, this is troubling as everyone must be willing to accept certain characteristics of the country they are living in. Any kind of deviance is when the individual is rejecting these traditions over the course of several generations. Once this happens, is when the odds decrease of them being able to effectively interact with different ethnic and racial groups outside of their own. ("Multi Culturalism in America," 2012)
