Abstract

Culture designates "the tools through which the human polishes himself and develops his multiple spiritual and physical gifts."<superscript>2</superscript> The humans interact and change opinions and become conscious that they belong to a global cultural space and are also "authors of the culture of their own community."<superscript>3</superscript> Through these tools human "exerts to disobey the world, humanizes social, family and physical life, through progress of mores and institutions, in the end human, expresses, communicates and keeps in its operas, during the times, its great major experiences, because them to serve the progress...of whole human people."<superscript>4 </superscript>The human valorizes itself but also contributes to the progress of society. Today we talk about the plurality of culture through which is opened the path to the cultural dissemination and perfection. In this way, the humans get a responsibility towards the cultural progress of their community which is anchored in global community, and then appears the question: "what must be done so that all the humans of the world to participate to cultural gods?<superscript>5</superscript> It is observed here a "spiritual and moral maturity of humans,"<superscript>6</superscript> defined as "new humanism".<superscript>7</superscript> This new type of humanism is not a simple talk, but it represents a new "type of responsibility towards human and towards history."<superscript>8</superscript> In this way, it appears the need of a new type of education because the nowadays human must be prepared to become creator and responsible to integrate in a global culture based on values as "intelligence, will, conscience and human fraternity."<superscript>9</superscript> [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
