Globalization allows contact with many world cultures but may impose a single model, so diversity and multiculturalism must be managed to avoid conflict. Mexico exemplifies great cultural diversity with many indigenous languages surviving for centuries or millennia. Interculturality requires respecting cultural equality and preventing one group from exploiting others. For a multicultural society to achieve democracy, multiculturalism and intererculturality are important to promote pluralism, tolerance, and respect for differences. Intercultural integration

    CULTURAL

    DIVERSITY OF THE
    WORLD
    POPULATION:
    TRADITIONAL,
    CONTEMPORARY
    AND EMERGING
    CULTURES
    The term cultural diversity has been used as a reference to the diversity within a given
    cultural system, to designate the great variety of sub-cultures or subpopulations of variable
    dimensions, who share a group of fundamental ideas and values.

    Contemporary culture comes from the


    traditional, but the metropolis and
    modernity absorb it and it is adapted.

    The rising culture, strictly speaking, is a


    trend. Every era has its own culture that
    is differentiated from others and
    disappear.

    Every one of the planet’s cultures is a


    mosaic of knowledge giving the world the
    opportunity of diversity.
    Multiculturalism as a Current Condition

    Globalization makes it possible to be in touch with different cultures


    of the planet. It seems to impose a unique production, consumption,
    and entertainment model.

    A counterpart of globalization is the manifestation of


    diversity: multiculturalism. At this point, the change and
    diversity must be managed to avoid conflict and negativity.
    Social dynamism and transformation must be allowed.

    We can still find groups that do not understand this and seek
    to exploit and discriminate. Mexico might be multicultural,
    but at the same time, it could be seen as racist
    Mexico is still one of the main
    countries in the world
    regarding cultural diversity,
    with 62 indigenous living
    languages, reflecting the
    amazing survival of ancient
    cultures, some several
    centuries old, some even
    millenniums old.
    Interculturality refers precisely to the relation between cultural groups, and
    supposes a relationship based on respect with equality and legal responsibility.

    Interculturality does not allow inequality between cultures


    measured by power that benefits one cultural group over another.
    As an aspiration, interculturality must always be part of the
    national project.
    The Importance of Intercultural Coexistence

    Culture is conceived not only as a group of factors such as language,


    geographical origin, ethnicity, etc., but it includes other elements like their
    identity, behavior and judgment.

    It is very important that interculturality is not limited to work


    context. Education, social and sanitary intervention are
    environments where goals are set and professional activities
    are carried out.

    When said activities affect people from different cultures,


    intercultural relationships are created so intercultural
    coexistence becomes a basic factor.
    It is evident that a multicultural country that aspires to democracy cannot fully
    achieve it if it does not go through multiculturalism and interculturality. This is
    because democracy implies pluralism, tolerance, which is the opposite of racism, and
    other deeper values such as respect and appreciation of differences.
    Intercultural integration is easier to achieve when the members of the dominant
    culture allow the groups of the non-dominant culture to keep their own cultural
    heritage, and when they encourage and allow them to become an active part of
    society.
    When there is intercultural coexistence, the members of a society feel
    culturally, psychologically and socially included; they enjoy a legal, fair
    and equal labor situation; they practice and carry out policies that
    safeguard the struggle against racist or discriminatory actions.

    The members of the groups enjoy an equal status and negative and
    prejudicial stereotypes presence are reduced
