A culture where people of various cultural backgrounds maintain their own traditions or where trade unions and employers collaborate to meet the needs of workers is an example of pluralism.

Internal colonialism is the unequal impact of economic growth on a regional basis, also known as "uneven development," as a consequence of the repression of marginalized groups within a larger community, resulting in political and economic disparities within a country.
