- In many references, it is proposed that the big theme of multiculturalism is the gap on things related to race, religion and ethnicity. The impact is the rise of conflicts among society which lead to radicalism, disputes, even violence. In a different perspective, multiculturalism can be defined as more than race, religion, and ethnicity, but also things related to human needs. Adopting the theme developed by Bennet (2003) on multiculturalism learning, community needs aspect becomes a part that needs to be regarded in designing multiculturalism learning. The efforts to prevent multicultural-related problems in the community will be comprehensive if the causing effects can be well defined. This was not only limited to an issue related to race, religion, and ethnicity, but also to variation and differences in community needs. According to Maslow, human needs are physiological needs, safety needs, love/belonging needs, esteem needs, and self-actualisation needs. These requirements become critical elements in designing multicultural learning for strengthening the community learning. The community should be strong to deter and anticipate various social threats, and learning is one of the ways to protect the community from these treats.
