ABSTRACT
An array of socioeconomic, political, and technological revolutions underscores the twentieth century, a period of tremendous fluctuation and change. The international, intercultural, and multicultural revolution has transformed global relationships profoundly by merging issues with theories, strategies with policies, and economies with politics. Reverberating down from this revolution is the critical need to cultivate adults who are internationally, interculturally, and multiculturally competent to deal with the new complexities of our world. An international, intercultural, and multicultural literacy is contingent upon the ability to reconcile conflicting ideologies by under-standing multiple perspectives and by respecting relative differences.
