monoculturalism

The practice or belief that a single culture should dominate or be the sole influence within a society, often involving the suppression of minority cultural identities. / The state of a society or community consisting of only one ethnic or cultural group.
Noun

This term carries a strong sociopolitical weight, often appearing in academic, sociological, or political discourses. It describes a state of homogeneity that can be either an organic result of isolation or a forced outcome of state policy. While it can be used neutrally to describe a demographic fact, it frequently carries a negative connotation when associated with the erasure of diversity or the imposition of a dominant identity upon minorities.

As an abstract noun ending in the suffix -ism, it denotes a system of belief or a systemic state. It is treated as an uncountable mass noun, meaning it does not have a plural form and cannot be counted with numbers; instead, it is quantified using phrases such as a degree of or a form of monoculturalism.
