   Successful multicultural societies need positive policies of inclusion. These can only come from community leaders and local, regional, and national governments who care about their people and about their country.

   Our present crop of ignorant, amoral, egotistical, greedy autocrats, who seem only to care for themselves, will never lead our nation to successful pluralism.

   Imagine when someday Indonesia is famous for it’s unity despite the pluralism. (we cannot be proud for being the top 1 in corruption)
   This article seems so skeptical n pesimistic.
   As said by Khafi, many of our leaders are bad, so the future of our countries depend on the new generation.
   As we’ll become the next leader of our country, pls bear in mind that pluralism is one of the biggest issue in our country. Many problems come from that.
   It’s our jobs to stand out and make changes for Indonesia.

   I cannot agree more with marsel’s statement “many of our leaders are bad, so the future of our countries depend on the new generation”. hence, education for our next generations is the most important thing these days.

   for those of us who have children, let’s not neglect in getting the best education possible for them, both in the scientific aspect and moral aspect. for those of us who have money in abundance, why not put your efforts in creating more and more educational institution with a high standard of quality. we certainly can’t rely on the government to do that for us.

   Hassan, In fact, that’s one of my dreams (curhat sedikit).
   If I’m able to make one, I will replace the Kewarganegaraan with: nationalism, pluralism, and how to be a -not easily get provocated student-

   Pluralism, as in the old U.S. motto “e pluribus, unum” (of of many, one) is a good thing. But, as in the U.S.A., a pluralistic society can not be a cultural anarchy, there must be strong binding forces that unite across ethinic, racial, and religious lines. In the U.S.A., such binding forces continue to exist, despite the efforts of some to destroy them. In Indonesia, a much younger nation, such binding forces must continue to be developed, or all is lost.

   Dear all,

   The idea of multiculturalism, nowadays, should be implemented in our life…..

   Best regards,
