HUMAN MOBILITY AND THE MEETING OF CULTURES
HUMAN MOBILITY AND THE MEETING OF CULTURES

Summary/Abstract: The profound changes that took place after the Second World War have been associated with a complex process of globalization, and caused, among other things, powerful social polarization both within states and between different regions or states. The "social decline" caused migration flows that had various consequences regarding the safety of the host countries and of the migrants themselves. But migration can also have its positive effects, as long as it facilitates the meeting of cultures and offers the opportunity to discover in what way they are different. That is why the twenty-first century cultural differences should not be a separation factor; on the contrary, they should encourage the discovery of “the Other”, of its culture and identity, thus, enriching one another.
