PLURALISM

Good morning everyone, I’m—-. Today, I will report about pluralism.

To formally start the topic, let us first define pluralism.

A. General Definition
refers to a society, system of government, or organization that has different groups that
keep their identities while existing with other groups or a more dominant group.

➢ refers to the state of having more than one of anything

➢ suggests the coexistence of many things, such as nations, groups, opinions,

principles, beliefs, and ways of life

➢ at the core of the principle of "pluralism" is the idea of "respect for diversity"

➢ any talk of PLURALISM such as pluralist society — necessary involves a

diversity of different ideas OR people that must be respected or at least
recognized

You know how the plural form of a word means there's more than one of something? Similarly,
pluralistic ideas are about embracing more than one group of people, ideas, or religions.
Pluralistic ideas are part of a philosophy known as pluralism.

B. Concept in society
A pluralistic society is a diverse one, where the people in it believe all kinds of different
things and tolerate each other's beliefs even when they don't match their own. The
diversity of different ideas OR people must be respected or at least recognized.

Malawak ang konsepto nito dahil nakapaloob sa society ang natatanging katangian o
pagkakakilanlan ng mga tao. Ibig sabihin lang ng konseptong ito, sa loob ng isang
society, hindi na pagmumulan pa ng hidwaan ang pagkakaibang mayroon ang bawat isa,
dahil naiintindihan, kinikilala at nirerespeto ng lahat ang ‘pagkakaiba’-- ito man ay
pagkakaiba sa lahi, oryentasyong sekswal, kultura, at relihiyon.

At dahil sa pagtanggap na ito, nagkakaroon ng matiwasay na buhay ang bawat tao sa

isang lipunan.
C. Concept in politics
is the "recognition and affirmation of diversity within a political body, which is seen to
permit the peaceful coexistence of different interests, convictions, and lifestyles"

❖ MOST POLITICAL THEORISTS ASSUME THAT:

Respecting diverse political views is beneficial to society as it promotes equality
and social justice.

Katulad rin to nung nabanggit kanina ang kaibahan lang, mas pinatutukuyan nito kung
ano ang kinikilala at tatanggapin ng bawat isa which is about politics- kasama dito kung
ano mang interest, convictions, lifestyle, philosophies, at political view ng isang tao.

D. Concept in democracy
is one in which democratic elections are held and separation of powers exists, so that no
one person or political party has too much control. (power to no one).

A pluralist democracy describes a political system in which there is more than one center
of power.

Sa konseptong ito naman binabanggit na kapag nagaganap ang demokratikong

eleksyon for example sa isang bansa, wala sa iisang partido, side o grupo ng tao ang
kapangyarihan— ano pa mang impluwensya ang mayroon ito. In short, lahat ay
pantay-pantay at walang nakakaangat sa kapangyarihan taglay ng demokrasya.

E. Concept in education
It is an educational concept which aims at the development of students with a so-called
`pluralistic attitude'.

a way of thinking about schooling that sees the government as the funder of many
different approaches to schooling, rather than a one-size-fits-all provider.

It promotes a diversity of educational paths, providers, and philosophies, and holds

providers to clear standards.
layunin nito na turuan ang mga estudyante magkaroon ng pag-iisip at kilos na
kumikilala, tumatanggap, at nirerespeto ang pagkakaiba ng mga tao sa paligid nila o
‘pluralistic attitude’. Ang edukasyon ay nagbibigay ng karanasan para sa mga
mag-aaral, guro, tagapayo at komunidad upang pangalagaan at isabuhay ang
pluralistikong kaisipan. Ang mga pluralistikong ideya ay tungkol sa pagyakap sa higit sa
isang grupo ng mga tao, ideya, o relihiyon.
