INTEGRATED TRANSCULTURAL PERSPECTIVE TO OVERTAKE RELATIVITY IN EDUCATION

Summary/Abstract: Relativity in education has as main source the culture of the educating tutors. In this context culture is understood in a broader sense from using the language to traditions and daily habits. Firstly, it depends on the society, country which develops it and to which local specifics are added. A second important source of relativity is set by the cultural level of those who propose it an who decide about it. The teams where David Logan was member identified five cultural levels organized in "tribes" - groups smaller than 150 people. These have speech topics statements from "Life is sucks" - meaning a total lack of adaptation to "Life is great" - denoting full adaptation. Relativity overtaking imposed by the cultural specificity can be achieved if it is observed that all cultural products, including values, are in the end means, tools through which (individual or group) human needs can be satisfied. The conflicts mediation, disregarding their nature, succeeded by Marshall Rosenberg and relative to the human needs is a proof in this sense. The three fundamental needs are: the need of autonomy, the need of competence and the need of relatedness (SDT).
