The term pluralism in the general context refers to the social structure in which many small groups maintain their unique cultural identity in broader culture.

Diversification, separate and factionalization. In contrast to the art of the last few decades, its energy does not seem to flow through a single channel which is synthetic, such as abstract expressionism, or minimalist, can be found. Against the idea of collective efforts operating behind the idea of artistic ‘movement’, art in the 70s is proud of its own distribution.
