Diversity faced with cultural inequalities
Diversity faced with cultural inequalities

Summary/Abstract: As the main means of reflecting national identity, the cultural capital of a society encompasses that cumulus of values, symbols behavioral and thinking norms and aspirations as they have been accumulated and assimilated by individuals through the educational processes. Circumscribed to the so-called “cultural code”, these features can have both positive and negative effects on intercultural communication and this is precisely what we will pursue through an analysis based on a sociological inquiry by survey, conducted on a sample of Romanian and foreign students belonging to different cultural and linguistic spaces and enrolled in the preparatory year at the Ştefan cel Mare University. The paper will therefore emphasize the necessity of the thoroughgoing study of the inequalities that are generated by the subjective perception of reality and education’s role in homogenizing them.
