Resumen
Multiculturalism, as the coexistence of different cultural traditions inside the framework of a single sociopolitical structure is one of the most salient characteristics of Western Democratic Societies. This situation is due mainly to two factors. On the one hand, we find a plurality of historical communities within the State that have different cultural roots, and each one of them deffends the right to have its cultural identity recognized. On the other hand, there is a growing exodus from people from less developed countries towards the western ones. In this paper I analyze from a philosophical point of view the multicultural situation that has its origin in immigration, paying attention to a public debate on this topic that has been held in Spain recently. I analyze as well some conditions that must be taken into account by educators if they want to promote an adaequate integration of immigrants in society, being respectful both to their cultural identity and the rights of the society of destination.
