Summary/Abstract: Culture and civilisation used to be considered synonymous notions by most philosophers, sociologists and other scientists. Cultural confrontation is not necessarily violent, but it has been and will most probably continue to be part of the humankind history as long as the world exists. Religion is one of the most active battlefields in the cultural confrontation domain. Political leaders used and will perhaps continue to use arts for promoting their personal interests. Culture can be compared with a double-edged sword because it can both serve noble purposes and instigate people to take actions with very bad consequences for other human beings.
