Kallen invented the term "cultural pluralism" and actively suggested it as a response to an ideological debate over Western imperialism. A melting pot is a concept for a community in which individuals of all backgrounds come harmoniously. The United States of America is typically defined as a cultural melting pot. Several nations have populations that are nearly identical in terms of ethnicity, language, and tradition.
