Answer

Democracies accommodate social diversity in the following ways:
  1. Democracy is best suited to respect social differences and evolve mechanisms to deal with them.
  2. No society can fully and permanently resolve conflicts among different groups.
  3. It is necessary to understand that democracy is not simply a rule by majority opinion.
  4. The majority needs to work with the minority so that the government functions to represent the general view.
  5. Majority and minority opinions are not permanent.
  6. Rule by majority does not mean rule by majority community.
  7. Democracy remains a democracy as long as everyone has chance of being in the majority group at some point of time.
