CULTURAL TRANSFER IN THE UNITED EUROPE: DIFFERENCES, CHALLENGES, AND PERSPECTIVES 1

Pecnikova and Hutkova focus on differences, challenges, and perspectives on the cultural transfer in the united Europe. Culture is one of the most effective means and tools for crossing personal and national borders. Mental, political, and social barriers that have existed for centuries among European citizens are being passed on from generation to generation. The inhabitants of these countries developed in different political, social, and cultural conditions and impacts. During the Cold War in the second half of the 20th Century, two blocks - the Eastern and the Western ones' were formed, resulting in the total isolation of their inhabitants. The authors' intention is associated with culture that should be understood as an excellent mechanism for the transfer and understanding of the different people in the Europe.
