The text analyzes the differences between cultural diversity (a state meaning coexistence in one area of different cultures) and multiculturalism (ideology). The latter often tries to impose various forms of mixing cultures from above, proclaiming the positive fruits of such activities. For this reason, it omits the nature of man (objective, universal and common to all people), often turns against the national identity in which he sees an obstacle to the emergence of one global universal culture imposed from above. The creators of this ideology have their own system of values, which they often try to implement without the natural law.

Globalisation and increasing digitisation mean that companies must increasingly orientate themselves internationally in order to become (more) competitive or to remain competitive. Promoting e-working can revitalise rural development. The issue involved is always interaction between people from different cultures, between people who, according to their cultural backgrounds, feel, think and act differently. When cultural diversity and differences are taken into account, greater creativity, more diverse ideas and faster problem solving are achieved. The cultural dimensions, according to Geert Hofstede, offer a comprehensive model for capturing the various expressions of intercultural values. This paper examines the motives for applying e-working in selected European countries in 2018 according to Hofstede’s six dimensions of national culture. Twenty-eight countries from the Eurostat database were analysed (Finland and the Netherlands were excluded, and software detected them in the e-working variable as outliers). Correlation with e-working is statistically significant at PDI (power distance index - negative: the lower the PDI index, the higher the proportion of e-working) and IVR index (indulgence versus restraint - positive: the higher the IVR index, the higher the proportion of e-working).

Constitutional Changes

Reflexionar y discutir en general sobre los actuales cambios constitucionales en términos de los usos de los instrumentos jurídicos legales, por parte no solo de los operadores de justicia sino también de los mismos individuos y colectivos indígenas, se vuelve una tarea fundamental en nuestro quehacer. En específico para el caso que nos ocupa de los peritajes antropológicos es necesario observar los avances y retrocesos en materia de los derechos indígenas, y fundamentalmente conocer cambios en la cultura político-jurídica que estas modificaciones constitucionales hayan generado o no, en especial en los operadores de justicia, teniendo en cuenta si este instrumento es o no pertinente en la procuración e impartición de justicia. De igual forma, es pertinente preguntarnos si podemos hablar del peritaje como un instrumento que incluye la diversidad cultural en los aparatos de justicia y, por ende, que dé una respuesta edificante para los individuos y grupos con culturas diferentes en México.   SUMMARYReflecting on and generally discussing current constitutional changes in terms of uses of legal juridical instruments on the part not only of the operators of justice but also of indigenous individuals and collectives themselves has become a fundamental task within our daily work. Specifically for the case at hand regarding anthropological investigations, it is necessary not only to observe the progress made and the setbacks encountered in indigenous rights matters, but fundamentally to identify changes in the political-juridical culture that these constitutional modifications have or have not generated, especially in the operators of justice, and whether or not this instrument is pertinent in the procurement and enforcement of justice. In the same way, it is pertinent to ask ourselves whether we can talk of expert investigation as an instrument that includes cultural diversity in the justice apparatus and therefore that provides an edifying response for individuals and groups from different cultures in Mexico.

Viewed from the perspective of the third space of communication, colonialism is no longer a moment of the West’s domination over the East. The boundary between superiority and inferiority is removed by exchanges of influences. In addition, the third space of communication can also be used as a means of fusing different cultures and values. However, when applied in certain contexts, there are opportunities to enrich the idea of a third space of communication. The enrichment of this idea can be found in the state speech made by President Soekarno on June 1, 1945. Apart from formulating the foundation of the Indonesian state, the speech also aimed to unite the diverse Indonesian peoples into one national identity. Through a hermeneutics analysis, it was found that there was no need to fuse or remove diversity to form a third space of communication

Fundamental Consideration

The research presented in this paper has been developed within the European project MeLa* (“European Museums in an age of migrations”), which focuses on how contemporary migratory movements come to reshape the role of museums and archives as the privileged places of national identity and cultural memory.[1] The fundamental consideration on which the research is built is that today, under the impact of globalization and an increasing awareness of the positive role played by cultural diversity, museums can no longer pretend to represent culture in exclusively national or local terms, because they are facing the challenge of an increasingly diverse, transcultural and multilingual European society.

Different Cultures

One of the most important and divisive issues facing heterogeneous or culturally diverse states—and most states are culturally diverse—is the relation between these different cultures and the state.This question was raised initially in contemporary liberal political philosophy in terms of the fruitful debate between liberals and communitarians. Sandel, for example, criticized Rawls’s A Theory of Justice and, by extension, all liberal theories for falsely abstracting from conceptions of the good, abstracting from culturallyspecific conceptions, and grounding his liberal principles in terms of an abstract Kantian individualism. Liberal theorists countered by complaining that communitarians falsely conceived of a single homogeneous community. Although Rawls’s revised defense of liberal justice in his 1993 book Political Liberalism does not refer directly to the liberal-communitarian debate, nevertheless, his new grounding of liberal political principles, as principles which would be acceptable to individuals with diverse conceptions of the good, seems to justify liberal principles in terms of contemporary conditions, and, at the same time, challenges the relevance of those theories which appeal to any notion of a homogeneous ‘community’.

Paper considers in detail the issue of multicultural urban business environment in the context of managing cross-cultural problems within globalization. When people try to accept and respect different cultures, they will gain new opportunities and experiences. One of the most effective tools is tolerant communication leading to understanding and acceptance of cultural diversity. In this research, we study the contemporary concept of urban business environment as a set of external and internal factors influencing business development in the framework of urban infrastructure. The authors provide their own definition of the concept of globalization and also describe the key global trends, including globalization of human capital under the conditions of demographic and cultural diversity. The work is also aimed to detect how multiculture affects urban business environment in part of finding managerial solutions and countermeasures to overcome the major cross-cultural challenges.
