American is super power, is a big country, it is also secular country. There are many immigrants from all over the world. In America everybody is living their dream. In conducive situation, everybody could make their dream come true. It is really a melting pot country. They do not consider differences as a weakness. The government treats everybody equally. What matter was one has to have good character. Eventough they prefer white to black in old times, three years ago Barrack Obama was chosen as the first black American to stay at White House. This reflect that multiculturalism could be synergized to achieve better goal. Like Abraham Lincoln once said if you want to see someone character give him power. By giving many tribes equal opportunities, a country can become big.
Nowadays it is time to change. People tend to build boundaries among their relatives and friends instead of work hand in hand one another for a better future. Post modernism riot is good for nobody. It makes people lost their jobs, children come off worse their parents, no tourist would visit such territory. What a loss. While other countries getting more and more develop, such things would be major backwards.
Majority is not everything. In America Jews have strong influence on economy, even minority could actively participate in strengthen national economy. We can always find China Town nearly everywhere, even in America. That show similar environment condition will not produce the same culture for granted (Susilo, 2009). One still remember that Persipura is Indonesian football champion, our brothers from Irian Jaya used to play football better. We have one world boxing champion from Central Java, Chris John. That shows us even a minority could participate for the country. Success does not belong to majority only. If they can do it, we can do it too as well.
Canada is multicultural and rich country. They have two first languages, France and English. One area use France, while other use English. With such big difference they could work with each other as a nation. We can learn from Canada, how they handle their differences and make it as an advantage to make their country important. Indonesian is in process to become an important country in Southeast Asia. One should make and work together with more friends from different background. Many hand makes light work. As a nation we have to work together.
