Among English-speaking countries such as the United States, Britain, Canada and Australia, which country is the most open?

United States > Canada >: Australia >: Britain

The degree of openness depends on the composition of the population. Generally, the population with a single composition is relatively conservative.

America is a typical immigrant country. Although its population composition was mostly Anglo-Saxon white in the early days of the United States, by the end of 19 and the beginning of the 20th century, the scope of immigrants had expanded from Europe to all parts of the world, covering countries in three continents: Asia, Africa and Latin America. Therefore, from the perspective of cultural diversity, the United States is more receptive to foreign cultures than other countries.

Although Canada and Australia are also immigrant countries, compared with the United States, their population composition is relatively simple. Canada's main immigrants come from Britain and France, accounting for the vast majority. In addition, Canada did not become independent until 193 1, so British culture has always been dominant.

By the same token, Australia, as a prisoner's exile in early England, attracted many white Europeans, mainly the middle and lower classes in Britain, so Australia can also be regarded as a country with British culture as the main body, so Australia is not as open as the United States.

Britain has been in a corner since ancient times, and island countries generally tend to stand still. In order to avoid being threatened by the European continent, Britain's overseas colonization was later than that of Portugal, Spain and the Netherlands. It was not until17th century that Britain established its position as the world hegemon. Modern Britain adopted a policy of glorious isolation and did not form alliances with other countries, which of course reflected British cultural conservatism.
