Summary/Abstract: The concept of identity is familiar for everyone: in common talk, literature, and in the course of social interactions, we can find multiple interpretation opportunities. The framing of our identity is not a result of speculation but it is such a socialization process where – in the course of social interactions, experiencing the others’ behaviour and reactions – we build our ego, we form our identity. The components of our identity are the totality of knowledge aggregation, which have historical and cultural-historical dimensions. For that very reason, the culture in every identity element is a decisive and fundamental factor. In intercultural relations, the minorities have continuous connections with other members of the society what at the same time supposes the majority’s value and norm system acquirement. Hence, the minority societies have to correspond to various social roles, hereby enlarging their identity with new elements.
