Abstract

Multiculturalism is seen as an ideology that emphasizes cultural diversity in equality or egalitarianism. The diversity creates superior andinferior, majority and minority, and dominance and non-dominance, so all parties must put the citizen’s equality as the main thing. The difference between the basic concepts of multiculturalism and plural societies is that the existence of a plural society occurs naturally (given), while the multicultural society is seen as the result of a cultural process that develops as an ideology. The structure of plural society is characterized by two basic characteristics which are in horizontal and vertical perspective. Horizontally, it is characterized by the reality of social unity based on ethnic differences, religion, customs,and regional differences, while vertically, the structure of Indonesian society is characterized by the sharp differences between the top layer and the underlay. The difference in the basic concept of multiculturalism and pluralism remains rooted in the local culture of Indonesian society that supports the spirit of nationalism with the motto ‘Bhinneka Tunggal Ika’. The shared values and history of the nation's journey provide a great spirit to maintainsolidarity and social unity.
