다문화사회 정신전력 향상 방안 - 미군 다문화주의 사례 중심으로-

Abstract

Korea is changing into a multicultural society. In 2019, 3,000 soldiers from multicultural families are in the military. As Korea changes from a single-race nation to a multi-racial country, the policy and training method of Korea military spiritual force should be changed. In other words, if the Korean military spiritual force has been based on a single race and lineage, it should be transformed into a multi-racial and multi-culture in the future. The Korean military should prepare for multiculturalism. Even if they come from various races and ethnic groups, it is a major challenge for Koreans to demonstrate their unified spiritual force on the battlefield regardless of race or ethnicity. Spiritual force refers to military spirit, military disciplines, morale and unite. It is intangible but powerful in battle. The United States was founded by immigrants and has long accepted immigrants for economic and political proposal for a long time. However, until the World WarⅡ and Korean War, multiculturalism of American military was not solid. Multiculturalism has been settled down by war heroes from multi races, policy, and regulation. The Constitution and culture of the United States have been constantly changing by the perception of the public and the military. Korea has a unique background of historical, cultural, and racial proportions, and thus has a multiculturalism different from that of the United States. Therefore, there is a limit to accepting American multiculturalism as it is. However, it is essential to preview the multiculturalism process in the U.S., and we have to find out how to achieve multiculturalism in the Korean military. Despite the multiculturalism differences faced by the U.S.military and Korean military, providing equal working conditions and treating them equally is the same proposition, and in the future, the bases of spiritual force will be the spiritual unity of the Korean soldiers, not race or background.
