This article aims at describing the values of pluralism and its basic principles. Multiculturalism as the doctrine of 'common culture' provides space for achievement of two needs: (1) the maintenance of diversity and integration at the level of community; (2) sustainability of unity at the level of the nation in order to achieve the goals as a nation. Multiculturalism approach is an alternative approach to politics of identity as well as an alternative to conflict resolution. Multiculturalism with pro-existence approach is conflict resolution strategy which is able to transform the tension in democracy and plurality into a new social order which gives chance for the presence of a productive interaction among diverse identities and the same time provides social integration to assure the sustainability of the principles of democracy and human rights.
