Summary/Abstract: Culture is a complex system, which shows itself on several levels of our day-to-day life. Culture is one of the parts of the human environment, created by a human and in the process of education, it is internalised as heritage. Culture is specific for each group and it is passed on from generation to generation. It includes values, opinions, attitudes, norms and cultural patterns, which influence ways of thinking, feelings, behaviour and products of material and spiritual nature. Development of intercultural communication competence contributes to broadening of sociological knowledge of a person about culture. It is good to understand and respect different cultures, so that mutual communication can be devoid of misunderstandings and various conflicts. A conflict develops, when some goals, needs or interests are in discordance with others. The goal is to offer a view on interculturality and its establishment in society, so mutual understanding of various cultures is more effective.
