Abstract:
As multiculturalism has become the matter of the day, it is not only the business world that
must adopt to changes; the academic sector must also deal with the trend as well. As such, the
necessity to accomodate cultural diversity has become more apparent. Education not only
helps to make sense of the local culture, it offers individuals insights and skills they need to
survive in the changing world. Only through multicultural education can people learn about
those problems and issues that cut across ethnic, national, and gender boundaries and
learn to understand how other groups process experience in ways that may differ from our
own perceptions. This paper aims at highlighting some of the main models of cultural value orientations and applying them in real-life and everyday educational and teaching contexts.
