In today's world, with the development of economy, science and technology, commerce and the modernization of transportation and communication tools, the scope of human activities has gradually expanded, and human society has changed from a closed, semi-closed and estranged state to a semi-open, open and interactive state, and social economy has changed from locality and self-sufficiency to globalization and diversification. The historical process requires cultural diversity to replace the past cultural islands and cultural inclusiveness to replace cultural exclusiveness. The communication between different human groups is becoming more and more frequent and close, and the relationship between cultures has changed from alienation to closeness, from isolation to interdependence.
With the complexity of human society and the development of information circulation, the transformation of culture is accelerating, and the development of various cultures is facing different opportunities and challenges, and new cultures will emerge one after another. Under the modern complex social structure, it is necessary to require different cultures to serve the development of society, and these cultures serve the development of society, which creates the diversity of world cultures, that is, multiculturalism under the complex social background. The proposal of multiculturalism is undoubtedly of positive and progressive significance. The debate on multiculturalism also shows the progress of society itself and reflects the success of racial integration.
The "ripple effect" produced by world multiculturalism has promoted the diversified development of other fields in the world today. Diversification of education is a reaction in this situation. Education can't stay out of the new trend of thought and action, and it has great potential in updating values. People expect that education should not only meet the basic requirements of people and society, but also face major problems in the world.
