The study seeks the trend of power for couples in multicultural families with international marriages. There are resource theory, exchange theory, and network theory. Resource theory or exchange theory could have been used to explain traditional marital power relations. There are many different situations now, so there are different theories. In this study, we approached the basis theory based on the perceptions and experiences felt from the perspective of a married immigrant who lives in a foreign country as an international marriage. According to the analysis, regardless of the power type of couples, couples have a positive relationship when they are satisfied with happiness. It is interpreted that forming relationships is more important, although Korean culture, politics and economy can not be ignored among.

he purpose of this study is to suggest the need of the special college admission system for the children of multi-cultural families. For this research, it is necessary to investigate the Korea's college entrance system for the children of multi-cultural families and the America's precedents in college admission by an affirmative action. There are problems about college entrance system for the children of multi-cultural families like the reverse discrimination, maladjustment, illegal entrance, financial problems and so on. Those problems can be solved thorough follow-up management for the students, right understanding about reverse discrimination, selecting students with basic academic skills, and supporting them financially. And a few suggestions about the special college admission system for the children of multi-cultural families are like the below. First, students with capacity to complete the course of university education should be chosen. Second, it is important to seek a systematic criterion or standard to select the very students that a university wants. Third, the university should support the children of multi-cultural families so that they can maintain their academic work. Fourth, the special admission system for the children of multi-cultural families should be temporarily operated and would be abolished after social discrimination disappears because it is some sort of preferential treatment.

This study argues that necessities and goals of multicutral education should be practiced by civil society movement. In the dramatically rapid multicultural age, in order to solve various problems in Korea, it is necessary for native citizens in Korea to improve their multicultural acceptability. According to the investigation of multicultural acceptability index of ordinary people by the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, people who had multicultural education showed very higher multicultural acceptability. But for factors of 'expectation for one-directional assimilation' and 'dual assessment' showed low index of multicultural acceptability. Therefore, it reveals that advanced curriculums and contents are required, that chances for ordinary people to have multicultural education should be extended, and that frequency of education and training should be increased. The civil society movements in Korea are in the important point for civil participation and cooperation, starting as small communities(small groups) and grass democracy, one of conversions of new civil society movements. Therefore, it makes a suggestions about factors for multicultural education to be practiced in individuals' daily lives as civil society movement.
