Abstract

When dealing with the notion of culture, our attention is captured by the fact that after the breakdown of the antagonism between the East and the West as the basis for the cold war, new antagonisms and polarizations are emerging. These are of great importance for the new definition of the notion "culture" or "civilization". It already begins within the frame of the concept "globalization". This term generally and mainly implies the economic interweaving and processes, the result of which is the ever more closely woven network of the authorities and decision-making in the hands of a relatively small number of multinationals. However, this term may also imply a kind of tissue spreading all over the planet and contributing to the growing homogenization and levelling of consumer and spare-time demands and thus also of the habits and ways of life
