The concept of New Ukrainian School provides knowledge of basic competences, which every individual needs for personal realization, inner development, being active citizen, for social inclusion and future employment. Due to these competences students are able to provide personal realization and achieve success throughout life. One of the ten basic competencies is knowledge and self-expressions in culture – the ability to understand art, to form own artistic tastes, independently express ideas, experience and feelings through different forms of art. Building awareness and self-expression in the sphere of culture is realized through mastering the general cultural competences by future teachers. General cultural competences are defined as a student’s ability to analyze and evaluate the achievements of representatives of national and worldwide culture; freely orient in the cultural and spiritual context of modern society, apply methods of self-education focused on general human values. The developed general cultural competence indicates that a person has certain moral and personal qualities, priorities and opinions that help her/him to properly define the role of culture, orient in pieces of cultural heritage, coordinate own behavior with generally accepted moral norms and both national and accepted foreign cultural values. Therefore, the preparation of future teachers of primary school aims not only on gaining perfect knowledge in academic subjects, but also on acquiring valuable skills of general cultural awareness and other competences formation by means of academic disciplines.

Nowadays, the movement of Post-Modernism, which appeared in 20th century, influences the art and the design of products. It is considered that the investigation and the undermining, which construct the modern society, compel a traditional prioritization based on cultural values. Furthermore, today the main effect is the image as the users opt to purchase their products by the appearance that is more substantial than the usage. For that reason, the alteration of daily products is the cause of this paper so that the consumers feel confused by them. Namely the basic image of a product may be the same as or similar to an original object, but it may alter the use of it. The viewer should interpret the image differently such as his experience and his belief. In addition, the change of visual messages can be achieved by the complexity of geometry, the combination of objects and the modification of materials. This is defined by the movement of Unruly design that aims for offering a new aesthetic of products. Finally, the goal of this paper is to present a number of illustrative case studies, which ensure an appropriate interface relationship between the art and product design.

Research highlighted that Western and Eastern cultures differ in socio-cognitive mechanisms, such as social inclusion. Interestingly, social inclusion is a phe-nomenon that might transfer from human-human to human-robot relationships. Although the literature has shown that individual attitudes towards robots are shaped by cultural background, little research has investigated the role of cul-tural differences in the social inclusion of robots. In the present experiment, we investigated how cultural differences, in terms of nationality and individual cul-tural stance, influence social inclusion of the humanoid robot iCub, in a modi-fied version of the Cyberball game, a classical experimental paradigm measur-ing social ostracism and exclusion mechanisms. Moreover, we investigated whether the individual tendency to attribute intentionality towards robots mod-ulates the degree of inclusion of the iCub robot during the Cyberball game. Re-sults suggested that the individuals’ stance towards collectivism and tendency to attribute a mind to robots both predicted the level of social inclusion of the iCub robot in our version of the Cyberball game.

As people live in cross-cultural contexts, there is a need to recognize and appreciate the role of different worldviews and how they shape our understanding of humanity, upbringing, and engagement in social or work environments. The key starting point to enable this is exploring the often-overlooked indigenous philosophies of life such as Ubuntu and examining how such value systems survive alongside opposing or similar traditions. This chapter improves the understanding of cultural values by discussing the central tenets of the African philosophy of Ubuntu, in comparison to the Western ways of life and the strategies that Africans in the diaspora are applying to preserve Ubuntu values. Strategies for promoting Ubuntu in the education system and community settings are also recommended with the goal of enhancing cross-cultural awareness.
