Pluralization, Diversification, Xenophobia

Pluralization is a special case--quantitative--of Diversification. In other words, while the former increases the number of constituents of a system, the latter introduces new qualities into it. So, Diversification can be the occasion of an increase in the strength of a system, e. g. in Business, it is recognized as growth. Thus, the treatment of 'diversity' as a problem to be overcome with 'tolerance' reflects a xenophobic condition, as does the interpretation of Diversification as a 'dilution of purity'.
