@article{2015,title={CULTURAL PROSESSES AND TRANSITION TO POLYCULTURALITY IN A GLOBALISING WORLD},abstractNode={In this study various definitions of culture as the way of living and as a mirror of society are introduced. Cultural development, the relation between culture and civilisation, areas of human activity which bear the mark of culture, factors providing cultural richness and the effects of culture on human development are the main other themes this study deals with. Since within the modernisation process and as a result of globalisation both trade and cultural relations have developped considerably, this study also emphasises the connection between economic and cultural relations Both economic relations and the possibilities opened up through globalisation create social change and social development. Based on Güvenç’s cultural map and it’s elements this study aims to give examples of cultural behaviour of Turks living in Germany. Thus a development from a mono-culture to a poly-culture, it’s development and it’s border lines.},author={Meltem EKTİ},year={2015},journal={The Journal of Academic Social Science}}
