Supposing that the purpose of the multi-cultural education is to form a community where lots of different people ultimately understand and respect each other and all of us live together, it is essential to raise criticism on various educational programs and policies which internalized the trend of regarding others as a lower class, secretly recognizing self as the majority. Especially, this paper aims to point out that this problem not only needs to be dealt with in details in General education in a university, but also becomes a method for searching a direction at the point of time of being under in-depth discussion about the direction of General education. Accordingly, this paper looked into a method able to put the intention point of General education into practice by utilizing a variety of multi-cultural text.

In addition to that, this paper made attempt so that we, sympathizing with others through imagination with regard to others utilizing narrative text, can go forward to the extent to which we can build up ethics as equal ‘global citizen’.
