Nowadays Pluralism is taking place in every single detail in our lives and this is
reflected in many disciplines, it involves a diversity of different ideas or people. A
pluralistic society is a diverse one, where the people in it believe all kinds of different
things and tolerate each other’s beliefs even when they do not match their own.
Pluralism denotes a diversity of views or stands rather than a single approach or
method.
