Indonesia faces new challenges related to multiculturalism. It means that government as the main control should be able to hold the unity of Indonesian people who have different idea in many aspects of life. However, government needs people?s support to develop this country. This reflects that people from various tribes with their tradition, norm, and value need a strategy as a tool of unity, especially to develop people nationalim. Nationalism itself can be increased whenever people are aware of their position through which they respect each other on terms of uniqueness of their tribe and commonalities. Nowadays, nationalism has been introduced to people since they were in school through Civic subject. Yet, this is not a guarantee that people behave good attitudes and personalities. The fact is that people find their identity from their surroundings. Civics does not give much interference on the growing of it. Besides, many racial conflicts have occured in many areas during Indonesian?s independence. These were mainly caused by a confrontation between people with different idea and different tribe. For instance, transmigration program increase the migration of people from Java to Kalimantan or Sumatera. It seemed that Javanese have taken Dayakese earth. If all people have known the positive perspective of this program, it must not be one of the causes of conflict. Therefore, the actual condition of Indonesia with multiethnics, multiracials, and multicultures can be developed as a main sources for Indonesian growth. Communication is highly needed to support this effort. Dealing with this need, people in different areas have to know and to be familiar with some inventions on high technology and its revolution and innovation in all fields. Thus, different ideas or perspective on government programs, for example, can be communicated and socialized through such technology. Science, knowledge and technology are combined to be a basic of people?s thought to improve their positive perspective of multiculturalism in Indonesia. Finally, Bhineka Tunggal Ika keeps on Indonesian?s spirit as a motive of the unity of various culture in Indonesia.
