"Cultural Islands" refer to distinct communities or groups that maintain their unique cultural practices, beliefs, and traditions, often in contrast to the surrounding society. These groups can be defined by ethnicity, language, religion, or shared history, creating a sense of identity and belonging among their members. Examples include the Amish in the United States and the Sami people in Northern Europe. These cultural enclaves can thrive in urban or rural settings, often preserving their customs through generations. While they may interact with the broader society, they typically prioritize their cultural heritage, contributing to the diversity of the larger community.
