Multicultural or global traditional physical activities can be used to express a Global Olympic Ideal- in response to the impact of the global village that has emerged.

Physical education in schools must change if it is to occupy a valued place in he global village. Promoting a physical education curriculum can foster the "ldeals of the Olympics" might be in the right direction to meet the demands of the global village that has emerged.
