Relationalism and Transcivilizational Communication

If we consider globalization as a whole in the aspect of unity, then civilizations characterize the reverse side of this unity – the aspect of diversity. The task is to find adequate means of describing processes of interaction between representatives of civilizations with their values, norms, and traditions. Because of differences in mentalities displayed in the processes of communication, interacting parties create a lot of stereotypes and biases. Therefore, in order to coordinate social centers of instability and conflicts rising every now and then in different parts of the world, there is an urgent need to develop means for transcivilizational communication that are appropriate to the changed conditions. To describe a process of transcivilizational communication, it is necessary to recreate it in the temporal picture of the world.
