Nowadays, most nations may be labelled culturally diverse since different ethnic, racial, and religious groups live together. In most cases, these societies turn to education, holding it responsible for both problems and solutions. Under political and ideological pressures, a choice has been presented as necessary. The challenge is daunting since as a result, educators have had to face a dual exigency: How is it possible for them to respond to the necessity of respecting, at the same time, the particularities of individual differences and singularities and the universality of majority law? What part does and can education play in responding to the promise made by UNICEF of the right to 'a quality education' for all?

Classical languages, such as ancient Greek and Biblical Hebrew, when taught with an emphasis on linguistic concepts and processes, provide modern monolinguals with an opportunity to question their own assumptions about language values and cultural paradigms.

In the first 12 centuries of its existence, Japan was a hybrid nation which played down or erased recognition of its diversity, originally owed to China and Korea, and later to Christians and further Korean immigrants. Even after the 19th century opening to the West, and the 20th century imperialist expansion that embraced many foreign populations, cultural diversity was molded into an ideology of national singularity. However, in the past quarter of a century Japanese have not only looked outward for trade and tourism, but undergone a semi-official process of domestic internationalism, which celebrates communities of foreignness, replicates foreign places in commercial 'gaikoku mura' (foreign villages), tolerates or befriends immigrant workers and political refugees, and has produced grass roots movements and cultural models of multiculturalism as a central feature of Japan of the future.
