Summary/Abstract: In this paper I focus on differences that are linguistically, conceptually and ideologically constructed, and undermine empathic understanding and unity in diversity in intercultural and gender relationships. Here I discuss the phenomena of attribution, projection and categorization: labeling in defining own identity and identity of others throughout history, as well as perceptions, stereotypes, cultural and gendered based prejudices that turn unity in uniformity.
