63. DEFINITION AND ESSENCE OF CULTURAL UNIVERSALIZATION
Under cultural universalization the process of establishing a single global culture on the planet is understood.
According to scientists, this process is quite possible due to modern scientific, technical, economic and communication capabilities and is already actively taking place in the real world.
Proponents of cultural universalization believe that there are no fundamental differences between East and West, South and North. People everywhere are people and adhere to deep similar values. Differences (still existing) are temporary, caused by social conditions and can change with them.
In cultures that are still recognized as different, the same evolutionary laws operate, peoples go through the same stages in their development, have the same cultural structure: art, political institutions, science, law, religion, etc. Knowledge is integrated , development of common principles of thinking, cognition, explanation of the world.
A universal feature of human cultures is the existence of languages that, according to modern researchers, operate on the basis of a universal grammar inherent in all languages. All languages can explain not only events, qualities, things and actions, but also many emotional states of a person. Linguistic scholars also identify many other similar principles that underlie languages, which indicates that they are not as different as it sometimes seems.
Scientists have also identified many other universals that testify to the similarity of the cultures of different peoples. Cultural universals dealt with F. Boas, B. Malinowski, L. White, A. Bastian, C. Wissler, E. Durkheim, M. Moss, G. Simmel and more
Cultural universals (biological, psychological, socio-cultural) made it possible to fix the common thing that underlies a diverse human community. Universals of culture are the basis of every culture. Universals of culture make possible the mutual understanding of cultures, just what contributes to the formation of a single and at the same time diverse world.
The identification and refinement of universals continues. Research in this direction is aimed at finding grounds for a possible "convergence" of peoples and cultures in some kind of universal unity.
Associated with the problem of cultural universalization is the need to develop not only a theoretical substantiation of this trend, but also uniform principles according to which the process of universalization can take place in practical life.
The search for a model that would give an idea of the mechanisms of interaction and ways to achieve mutual understanding of cultures continues.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven
09.05.2024
Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Energy from space for Starship
08.05.2024
Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>
| Random news from the Archive A new source of green energy
30.11.2019
US scientists have unveiled a new nanomembrane that could generate renewable energy using the chemical differences between salt and fresh water.
Researchers are confident that this way they will be able to get additional power, which is equal to the energy of 2 thousand nuclear reactors.
According to preliminary laboratory calculations, the new nanomembrane will help generate additional energy from 37 thousand cubic meters. km of fresh water that rivers annually dump into the ocean. According to the creators, this technology will provide up to 2,6 TW of electricity. The same power is produced by 2 nuclear reactors.
The nanomembrane uses the property of salt water, which is made up of ions. Scientists knew that as long as the salt is dissolved in water, the ions are separated and can move freely. If you create a separate tank in which to store positive and negative ions, then you can get a constant source of electric current from them.
The charge imbalance between the two sides was so strong in some cases that the researchers estimated they could generate around 30 MWh per year. This is enough to power more than 400 homes.
Scientists suggest that their results could be even better. This is because they used open membranes after plasma treatment. Now the researchers are trying to increase the number of open pores, which can increase the efficiency of the mechanism by 21%.
