Ethnic enclaves allow for immigrants of the same nationality to partake in common cultural practices unique to their home country.

But then, wouldn't this possibly cause disputes between people who have the country's nationality? (For instance, Chinese in China, Japanese in Japan), which may cause social unrest.

So, how will this actually be beneficial for them? What are the direct positive outcomes that may stem from the opportunity for new immigrants to have their own cultural practices?

EEs can help to bring economic benefits, such as more tourism.

Evidence: According to an article done by Yamashita Kiyomi, After the normalization of diplomatic relations, the products imported from Mainland China became affluent: the number of shops selling Chinese products, folklore products and Chinese cakes to tourists increased, not to mention the number of Chinese restaurants.

Explain: This shows that due to Chinatown in Japan (EE), this helped to increase the economic gain from tourism. (IDK, my explanation section is usually quite bad)

How so? This is just a sweeping statement. You should provide examples to support your claims.

Allows for more people to have the same culture in a certain area. For example in Greektown in Toronto, everything there is greek, even the street signs

Ethnic Enclaves can help people of the same ethnicity come together and participate in activities that they do together usually

Having a variety of cultures helps improve diversity which can bring about economic benefits to the country. EEs help to achieve this by improving this cultural diversity.

Side: Yes, EE should be encouraged

So what you are trying to say is that economic benefits are derived essentially from a diverse society. How do you know? Will a diverse society impede the development or sustainability of an economy instead?

Side: Yes, EE should be encouraged

By providing a space for people with the same ethnicity to create potentially beneficial relations, EEs assist members in achieving economic mobility.

Encouraging EE's could have the effect of less integration of those in the enclave as they preserve their culture and are unable to be integrated into Singapore's Culture. See video. essentially the video shows a Singaporean negatively reacting to foreigners. This could be evidence that there is little integration in Singapore which could be blamed on the EEs that preserve the culture of foreigners and thus there would be cultural friction.

Video (also evidence) (also am trying to make a counter argument)

They may stifle English proficiency and limit opportunities to climb the economic ladder.

It may cause social tension thus I think that EE shouldn't be encouraged

EE should not be encouraged. With membership into these EE's, the immigrants need little adjustment culturally and linguistically. This might hinder the naturalisation into the community they migrated to causing more segregation then otherwise intended.

Side: No, EE shouldn't be encouraged
