Cultural programming includes "learning values (dominant beliefs and attitudes)"[1]. And cultural diversity challenges values. Many of the things that we know from childhood as the things that "ought to be so" can be easily challenged by a person from another culture. With the globalization most of these differences should be blurred, and more and more often we see global culture ruling the world. Is it bad or good?
Globalization brings tolerance.
Diversity brings alternatives.
And both do not exclude each other
