At the time of globalisation, we observe the impoverishment of religions, ideologies and nations as carriers of alternative values and this created a situation blocking human progress, creating then frustrations and tensions between groups reduced to their visible differences and all submitted to the same dominant culture.}, title={Integration and Disintegration in European Societies – Identity and Social Issues at the time of the Globalization of Cultures and Economical crisis}, keywords={culture, ethnicity, multiculturalism, nation, postmodernity, progress, religion}, }
