Multicultural/ Multiethnic Education

Afghanistan Afghanistan is a sovereign state completely surrounded by land. Pakistan in the south and east, Iran in the west, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan in the north, and China in the northeast. They used this land for agriculture. That is the foundation of their economy. However, the cultivated land is only 12%, which is susceptible to drought (Robson). Like Somalia, this country has a tradition of nomads. But today there are no real nomads yet.

In recent years, many educators have supported multicultural education as a way to cope with world interrelationship and the increasing population of the nation in the United States. The troublesome thing is that educators have not reached an agreement on what is multiculturalism, or how it affects curriculum and education. Indeed, two clear and contrary views on multiculturalism are currently competing for the dominance. The purpose of cultural pluralism is that the community remains intact and their special understanding and behavioral style is respected and continued. On the other hand, assimilation accepts the importance of understanding multiple beliefs, but its main purpose is to integrate all the groups into the mainstream of the United States.
