Society

[eedit|eedit soorce]

The Dutch society in the present can be seen as a vera multi-cultural society. Aboot 20% o the entire Dutch population is no o Dutch oreegin (thir fowk are criedallochtoonin Dutch). Even maist members o the Dutch Ryal faimily are allochtoon. This comes frae the fact that the Netherlands wur open tae ither naitionalities an ither releegions syne the Republic o the Netherlands (foondit in1588). In the17t century,it wis no odd for instanceMuslimstae live inAmsterdam.Efter theSeicont Warld War,the Dutch hired mony wirkers fraeTurkeyanMoroccotae rebuilt the Netherlands. Mony o thir guest wirkers (gastarbeiders) stayed in the Netherlands. Therefore, The Netherlands hae a lairge Turkis an Moroccan commonty. Immigration frae especiallySurinameanIndonesielead tae the multi-cultural society o the present an aw. Recent events (lik the murther onTheo van Goghbi a radical Muslim) hae led tae negative views onallochtonenbi some Dutch fowk.

The Dutch society is famous for its leeberal views an aw. The Netherlands wur the first kintra tae legalisesame-sex marriage(the marriage ohomosexuals). The Netherlands hae a stranggay-richts muivement.Abortionaneuthanasieare legal in the Netherlands an aw. The Netherlands are the anerlie kintra in the warld whaurmarijuanais "gedoogd" an aw. This means it is no legal but the laws against it are no actively enforcit.

The Netherlands are ane o the busiest kintras in the warld. Amaist 16.5 million fowk live in the little kintra. That's why no mony Dutch live in veelages. Maist Dutch fowk live in ceeties, wi a ceety bein a place wi at least 25,000 fowk livin thare. 8.7 million Dutch live inagglomerations(urban auries which are connectit tae ilk ither, a sort o metropolitan aurie).[19]That's aboot 54% o aw the Dutch fowk. Aboot 15% o the Dutch fowk live in ceeties which are no in an agglomeration. The ither 30% live in veelages (places wi less nor 25,000 fowk).
