| Popis: | The civilization illustrates the reflections of the cultural interactions and exchanges; through them a society takes shape and express. The concept of culture includes the institutions and the collective representations and forms the collective behaviour. We focus in which way a part of the population perceive and assess the concept of culture. This part of the population has specific social and ethnic marks which construct their identity. The 200 university students answered to statements on the basis of a Likert's five-point scale. The results indicate that students understand the concept of culture as multiplex and it seems they are not in the position to escape from particular ideological platforms and past influences of their environment. |
