Davos Annual Meeting 2004 - When Cultures Conflict

When Cultures Conflict
In a globalized world, cultural heterogeneity can often spark conflicts.
1) Is there a set of values around which the world's cultures converge?
2) If not, what kind of mechanisms must be put in place to facilitate global understanding?
3) What role do notions of "tolerance" and "respect" play in that regard?

Huntington RULES

[fedegh]

Huntington has done a good job in founding the grounds of XXI century wars. When I say good I refer to the effectiveness of his racist, imperial and destructive ideas about any other civilizations except western... cultures are monolithic, cannot speak each other: so the will (must) destroy each other... MANIFEST DESTINY?, sounds like that?... I recommend Said talking about this miserable character
