CULTURAL DIFFERENCES AND DIVERSITY

Abstract: The objective of the present study is to highlight different and marked approaches that have been developed regarding cultural diversity, without implying a “nummerus clausus” relationship, since cultural diversity approaches are broadened with the diverse realities of the countries of the entire world.     The objective is to clarify the fundamental elements of the cultural diversity concept, considering that the intellectual debate on it has not yet reached a consensus and may never do so. The paper reviews the “evolution” of the concept through the theories of different institutional authors and documents, culminating in the recognition of cultural diversity as a right, guaranteed in binding international instruments.

Keywords: cultural differences; cultural diversity; the theory of cultural relativism; Cultural identity.
