Pentingnya Literasi Budaya dan Kewarganegaraan Terhadap Steriotip Antar Etnis Dalam Mencegah Terjadinya Disasosiasi

Indonesia is a country with extraordinary diversity. "Bhineka Tunggal Ika," the national motto of Indonesia, has been known since ancient times. The diversity of Indonesian culture is a unique wealth not possessed by every nation in the world. This diversity can lead to various perspectives and prejudices among individuals and groups, often arising from the desire to dominate a particular group or ethnicity.
