Parallel society
In this article we will examine the importance of Parallel society in the current context. Parallel society has been the subject of debate and analysis in various fields, whether in politics, technology, science or culture. Its relevance is undeniable, as it impacts people's daily lives and society as a whole. Over time, Parallel society has evolved, adapting to the changes and challenges that arise, which leads us to reflect on its role in the contemporary world. In this sense, we intend to explore the different facets of Parallel society, analyzing its implications and proposing possible solutions or strategies to face the challenges it poses.
Parallel society refers to the self-organization of an ethnic or religious minority, often but not always immigrant groups, with the intent of a reduced or minimal spatial, social and cultural contact with the majority society into which they immigrate.
The term was introduced into the debate about migration and integration in the early 1990s by the German sociologist Wilhelm Heitmeyer. It rose to prominence in the European public discourse following the murder of Dutch director and critic of Islam Theo van Gogh.[citation needed] In 2004, it was elected by the Association for the German Language second as Word of the year.[citation needed]
