The myth of sports heroes or heroines has played some important role in the American multicultural society since the 1950s. They are not demanded not only to dominate the sports but also to represent some groups in the process of implementing multiculturalism. The issues raised are collective identity recognition and some other issues related to the tradition changes in the related sports institutions. Tiger Woods, a dominant professional golfer has facilitated the issues from different groups that opposites, dominated, and negotiated to each other. He, in this respect a negotiator, is pragmatic by employing the issues for his own or other groups' interests.

Through qualitative approach in cultural studies, analyzing the representation of the sports figure Tiger Wood, I can demonstrate that there is a demand that media must be capable of accommodating various conflicts and supports within the American social groups especially if connected to the multicultural process. The representation of Tiger Woods, which is interpreted differently, has changed the understanding of an identity that used to be fixed or static into the one dynamic and negotiating the past and present. Tiger Woods represents the multicultural American society not because of what he has personally but because of his functioning as the representative of those groups.

Individual identity is understood as categorization with the basis of race, ethnic, gender, and class; therefore, there come demands to Tiger Woods, the one who is biologically of multi races and multi ethnics. The awareness of identity classification of the multiracial generation is raised in this phenomenon. This shows that such social classification is required to adjust to the progress of multicultural process.

Tiger Woods can dominate golf, a monoculture hegemony (rich, middle-aged white men). The changes of this tradition have made Tiger Woods a symbol of the multicultural movement. Golf facilitates the negotiation of monoculture-multicultural conflicts. This representation in changing golf tradition is made good use of by some groups for sports and non-sports purposes.

From the meaning and use of the myth of sports heroes, Tiger Woods shows that American society needs a medium that not only reflects the multicultural process but also involves and takes part in the process itself. The representation becomes significant because it produces symbols and meanings, manages several meaning-makings, and is used as standards of various objects, issues, social groups, events or regulations explicitly in the multicultural America with the basis of codes which conform the background thoughts of each social group."

"Pluralism and multiculturalism is not only a fact of life but also has become our national identity that grows and develops long before this nation merge into one unified whole, namely the Republic of Indonesia (NKRI). Despite the recent Indonesian nation incessantly beset by problems, either in the form of communal conflict, social injustice, equitable development, as well as repressive actions carried out by some groups or circles in the name of religion as legitimacy but nonetheless this nation stands firmly with the symbol and identity diversity. Currently and in the next 50 years, suppose the Indonesian people in both urban and rural areas do need the right choice amid national life increasingly disturbed due to popping conflicts that occur in many areas of the nation. Various theories and ideas have been studied and analyzed critically in order to uphold nation unity and religious tolerance in civilized cultural diversity. A civilized society need a frame of reference for understanding why social issues as well as the threat of national disintegration as a result of the eruption of the conflict in the form of ethnicity, religion, identity, and culture remains the case for nearly 72 years of Indonesian independence. Followed by what the best solution is expected."

"This paper aims to show that the traditional governance system, Lampik Empat Merdike and Sindang merdike (free men) established by the Besemah society in the past is the source of enthusiasm and democratic spirit in Besemah ethnocratic society. Besemah people's lives have changed through many different periods, from the megalithic, to the imperial, the colonial and to post-colonial (independence) periods. The kind of change that has taken place is concerned with the society?s view of diversity in various aspects, such as culture, knowledge, the world outside the ethnic community of Besemah, and education. Thus, multiculturalism is a unique characteristic of the Besemah community. There are two important aspects of multiculturalism in the Besemah community, namely: (1) interaction and communication between different cultures (Besemah and Dutch), (2) changes in public perception regarding the Besemah from local to global perceptions. These demonstrate that the community has a unique type of multiculturalism based on ethnocracy and the traditional governance system.The research shows that multiculturalism in Besemah society still exists in their daily lives and has a pragmatic function to improve the quality of life in various sectors."
