El trabajador social ante una sociedad pluricultural

Abstract

This text explores the complex relationship between different ethnic cultures in Mexico and the evolution of the perspective that seeks a multicultural society. It notes that Mexico has transitioned from a nation-building project aimed at assimilating indigenous cultures to a pluricultural vision that values and respects ethnic diversity, where all cultures are equally important and respected. It emphasizes that interethnic coexistence should not be based on the elimination of ethnic identity but on the recognition and appreciation of their different expressions. The text argues that social work plays a crucial role in building a pluricultural society by addressing ethnic issues and working towards equality and respect among cultures. It also mentions how globalization impacts cultures and emphasizes the importance of preserving and promoting cultural diversity in all aspects of society, such as education and employment.
