One of the wisdoms covered in the traditional culture is belief which recognizes the differences in diversity and glorifies differences and diversity in equality. In the science perspective,the belief and the judgment that give rise to an attitude of respect and curiosity to other ethnic cultures is called multiculturalism, that is an ideology that recognizes and glorifies differences in equality, both individually and collectively (Fay, 2006). Multiculturalism is acomplexity of ideas, perspectives, policy, attitude and action, by a person or group of people which is diverse in terms of ethnic, culture, religion and so on, but the individual or group of individuals aspires to increase the spirit of diversity and have the pride to maintain the diversity or the right of plurality (Lubis, 2006).
