Description
Abstract:
The globalization processes in the twentieth and twenty first century as well as European integration resulted in that the societies of particular countries in the European Continent are increasingly becoming closer and similar. However, respect for different traditions and cultures of the European nations means that one cannot impose or request the introduction of educational solutions that are at variance with the will of the society in an EU member country. The thorny road taken by political and social conservatism should give way to showing the best solution used in individual EU member countries. The lessons of not only recent history should be appropriately understood and utilized in educating the successive generations of the Europeans. Over half a century of torment must be adequately used.
