Abstract

The goal of this paper is to provide a new outlook on trendy concepts of intercultural communication and multiculturalism by interpreting them as basic concepts of understanding globalization, which can, in turn, be interpreted not only as the expansion of functionally diverse society through intercultural communication and multiculturalism but also as a creation of a hybrid multicultural society. According to the authors this overview will offer a new approach to globalization.
