Abstract


Abstract

Indonesia is one of the largest multicultural countries in the world. The globalization era demands openness to change in all aspects of life including diversity, multicultural, or cultural pluralism. Based on this concept, there is close connection between the establishment of a society in accordance with unity in diversity and the realization of a national culture which unifies Indonesia. However, in practice, there are still many obstacles that prevent the development of multiculturalism in Indonesian society. In order to compete in international level, Indonesian people must be able to cope with the problems in the national level, especially, in upholding the unity of the nation. Nevertheless, social conflicts frequently appear and even lead to violence. This research discusses the importance of social science education for the young generation in order to minimize or even eradicate the problems that occur in the middle of the multicultural community.

Keywords: Education, Social Science, Multicultural
