Abstract

In a globalized society the existence of multiple cultures has become an inevitable social phenomenon. The traditional society is threatened and this offers many challenges for cultural identity in education. In other words we should change mono-cultural education into multi-cultural education and should adhere to the principle of 'harmonious but different' in practice. We can improve socializing ability in students by educating them through cultural knowledge. This study is an attempt to explore the relationship between cultural knowledge and socializing ability of junior college students of Aurangabad city. The study was conducted on 200 junior college students of Aurangabad city. The results reveal that there is a moderate but substantial relationship between cultural knowledge and socializing ability. However, no significant differences on different factors of cultural knowledge and socializing ability between male and female junior college students of Aurangabad city were observed.
