Abstract

The impact of the dialogue between cultures can meet national and "internal" dimensions and features or even regional and "external” ones. In order to grasp all the dimensions of this paradigm shift, it is important to try understanding the concepts of and interactions between culture, conflict and dialogue as an array, where conflict has to be always isolated between the other two concepts.The main aim of the paper is to underline the idea that just having a fair dialogue between cultures and religions followers can be established a sustainable harmony among them. Culture is closely connected to a community environment. Indeed, culture is essentially collective and it affects and influences human behavior. Culture helps people to build and preserve their own identity. Identity stems from the consciousness of difference. Sometimes, this identity sharpens after a confrontation. It strengthens the self‐esteem of the individual, and it makes it easier for the individual to accept compromises in deals with other parties without being afraid of “losing face” or “losing values” or “misunderstanding values”.
