After having shown the existing antagonism between globalization on the one hand and on the other hand the cultural diversity of the world, the document presents:

the 3 levels of all culture, based on values and beliefs,; institutions; practical concrete and everyday.

the 3 dimensions of all culture registered in the divine; him human; the cosmic.

Differentiating the cultural pluralism of the cross-cultural dynamics, the author draws up the proposals articulating around the setting up of a cross-cultural dialogue then according to:

the different contexts, while analyzing the universal fundamental values as well as the different economic cultures, policies, therefore social, educational, ecological and religious on which this dialogue could rely.

the different contexts, whether the societies, the States or the level of the international relations, that must appropriate the cultural diversity in order to institute this same dialogue in order to succeed to a successful integration and a cooperation to all scales.
